Cary

“Don’t do anything to make these people call the cops on you, boss,” Tiny warns, leaning over the steering wheel while peering up at Shiloh’s multimillion dollar home. “’Cause if you do stupid shit, I don’t have money to bail your ass out of jail.”

I raise the half-empty whiskey bottle to my mouth and smirk before taking a drink. I can’t promise anything. Apparently, I woke up with an agenda full of stupid shit.

After using her for my twisted fantasies, the only thing I could think of to do was to get shitfaced. Hell, at this point I can’t even say it was a fantasy. The thing is, I don’t regret pushing us both to the brink.

That’s probably some fucked-up psychological shit I don’t even want to get into.

Halfway through a bottle of Jack Daniels, Frankie and Tiny took my keys and forced me in my own car. According to them, Shiloh and I had to work out this bullshit between us or they threatened to lock us inside the hallway bathroom until we did.

Which I’m perfectly okay with, considering what almost happened in there.

Without another word, I slam the car door and make my way up the winding driveway leading to Shiloh’s house. By the fifth time I ring the doorbell, I’m antsy as hell. The straight Jack didn’t help anything, but the fact that she’s not answering irritates me.

By the time she opens the door, I’m worked up into fighting mode, ready to tell her to go to hell and buy her a one-way ticket myself. But one look at Shiloh’s tear-stained face and my anger fades

She leans her forehead against the doorframe. “How’d you get in here?”

“I worked here for four years. You think I don’t remember the access code?” She doesn’t answer me, so I step forward. “I need to talk to you.”

“I think you’ve said enough.”

“I haven’t even gotten started.”

Lifting her face away from the doorframe, she inhales deeply while wrinkling her nose. “You smell like ass. Have you been drinking?”

Only all night.

“Just a little.” I lose my footing and stumble into the molding.

“Ugh, go home, Cary.” Rolling her eyes, she steps back to shut me out.

I wedge my foot against the frame and wince as she smashes the door into it. “Not until you talk to me.”

It’s probably stupid to keep provoking her like this. Shiloh could have me in the back of a squad car before I made it back down the steps. However, I’ve come this far, and I’m not leaving until we get some shit straight.

“What the hell do you want from me?” she screams, flinging the door back open and fisting her hands by her side. “You want to humiliate me some more? Didn’t get enough earlier?”

“That’s not what that was about.”

Her gray eyes flicker. “No? Then what was it about? Power? Revenge? Sex?”

The whiskey rushing through my veins is telling me to shove my way inside. Instead, I roll my lips over my teeth and take a deep breath.
