Chapter Three
King
The worst part of knowing that Kinsley is getting married isn’t the thought of never having her, it’s knowing that she’s making the worst mistake of her life, marrying a guy Lex can’t stand and would dearly love to make disappear without a trace.
“I’m telling you, King man, she’s making a huge mistake here. Kinsley…she’s stubborn, and you know how she is with that fucking planning shit of hers.”
I keep drinking and watching Cleo flit around the bar, as Jericho watches her and growls at anyone who so much as breathes on her delicate skin. The man is obsessed with his wife, something I never would have seen coming or even believed without seeing that man fall before my very eyes.
Me, I don’t do relationships if I can help them, not since I went to war and saw the shit that human beings will do to even those that they love. People are fucked up, and I’d rather die alone than give a woman that much power over me.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Lenny, Cleo, and Evie. Those females are great, but they lead their men around by the ball sacks—and that just ain’t me. Never has been and never will be.
“Lex, just let this shit go. I called her just like you asked, but she told me to fuck off. Not in so many words, but I got the message. Leave her be. This is her choice.”

Stubborn as a fucking mule when she thinks things aren’t hers to control. That is one of the many reasons I never let myself go after the feisty little vixen, no matter how attracted I was to her once she reached legal age and blossomed.
Besides having my ass kicked by my best friend for going near his barely-legal sister, I happened to be in a relationship at the time, and though not happy, I’d been convinced that if I just tried hard enough I’d make things work.
Brenda hadn’t felt that same way though, and we’d parted on somewhat amicable terms, though I still felt guilty for the way things ended. They wouldn’t have, I admit to myself, if I had just been able to ignore the attraction I felt for Kinsley.
Brenda noticed my lack of interest—no matter how hard I tried to mask it—and called it quits not long after Kinsley fled from me and went back to college. That was six years ago, and though it pains me to even think of it, I have to admit that I feel guilty about what happened with Kinsley because I
