Roark

She fucking took my dog out.

Opening the door and watching over her like Missy would ever think of taking off, the woman told my dog to take a piss. Except she didn’t give Missy the dignity of saying piss.

“Go pee, girl.”

Jesus fucking Christ.

Staying to the shadows, I grabbed my cell and shot off a text to Echo.

Me: Where the fuck are you?

“Come on, Missy.” The woman clapped her hands. “Go pee.”

My dog stared at her like she was out of her fucking mind because she was.

My cell pinged with a new text.

Echo: Watching your girl tell your bitch to take a shit. Fifty bucks says you lose your shit before the dog.

More pissed by the second, I fired a reply.

Me: Get her the fuck inside.

Echo: You get her inside. She’s your bitch.

Me: Not the dog, the woman!

Echo: Who the fuck did you think I was talking about?

Goddamn it.

I stepped out of the shadows. Missy immediately turned toward me, but the woman didn’t hear me.

She clapped again. “Come on, girl, go pee.”

My jaw ticked. “She doesn’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.”

The woman jumped.

I glanced at my dog. “Missy, hurry up.”

No hesitation, Missy took off to do her business.

Crossing her arms against the cold mountain air, the woman looked at me, but she didn’t make eye contact. “Hurry up,” she murmured. “Good to know.”

“Get back inside,” I ordered.

“I’ll wait for Missy.”

Inhaling for patience I didn’t have, I stared at a woman I wanted to both strangle and fuck. “No, you won’t.”

She waved an errant hand across the landscape. “Why? You think Kyle’s going to climb a mountain to retrieve one of the hundreds of women he’s dated?”

My nostrils flared, and I gave up reining it in. “Is that what you were? His date?”

“Fine,” she yelled, throwing her hands up. “I slept with him! I’m a danger addict or thrill seeker or adrenaline junkie or whatever the heck you accused me of being in your kitchen, I’m that! There, I said it. Is that what you want to hear? That I’m crazy? That I’m a slut? That I’m morally reprehensible because I had sex with a man who sells women, and I didn’t care because it was an addiction?” Tears streaming down her face, her raspy voice broke. “Or maybe you want to hear that I enjoyed it? That I used him like he used me? That every party, every night, every time he put his hands on me was one more second I didn’t have to think about my past. How about that, Mr. I’m-Hiding-An-Injured-Leg? Does that justify your shitty attitude and judgy addict label?” She swiped at her face and turned toward the house. “Take your own damn dog out.” Limping, she managed to stomp back into the house before slamming the door.

Missy flanked my left as Echo appeared on my right. “Well, you fucked that all to hell.”

“Shut up.”

“You want my take?”

Missy whined and nudged my hand. “No.”

He told me anyway. “She has a point.”

“Fuck off.”

Echo laughed. “You’re one sorry son of a bitch, and that’s saying something.
