Chapter Fourteen

~ Kyue ~

I stretched my hand out across the mattress before my eyes had even opened fully, searching for the man that had rocked my dreams all night long...the empty mattress.

I jack-knifed up. My heart thundered in my ears as I stared down at the spot beside me. It was cold to the touch.

Considering I was buck-ass naked except for a sheet and there were empty condom wrappers on the nightstand next to the bottle of lube, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what had happened here last night.

I had sex with Lucas.

More than once.

I groaned as I flopped back against the pillows. "Oh, fuck my life."

How could I have let this happen? The mere fact that Lucas wasn't here still curled up beside me told me just about everything I needed to know.

My world had been rocked to its very core, and he'd had sex. That's all. Just sex. The fact that we were engaged to be married was immaterial.

I could have been someone he picked up in a bar, fucked, and then left just as fast as he could. If he hadn't known my name before hand, I doubted he would have asked for it.

Wouldn't be surprised to find money stacked on my dresser.

I grabbed my pillow, pressed it over my face, and screamed into it before tossing it to the side.

God, men sucked.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I was a man, but I didn't hit and run. I'd had a few one-nightstands in my time, but I was polite enough to say goodbye when I left. I didn't sneak off in dawn's early light.

I narrowed my eyes as my disappointment and heartache turned into a burning hot anger. I hadn't asked Lucas to come to my loft last night. I certainly hadn't asked him to fuck me into oblivion.

This was his fault.

He needed to die!

I started to roll over when a glint of silver caught my eye. I frowned as I stared down at the ring on my finger. It was silver just like the earring in my ear. In fact, they looked eerily similar. Simple, with a scroll design etched into them.

I picked up my cell phone off my nightstand and dialed the only person that could have put it there. "Did you put a ring on my finger, Mr. Kincaid."

"Good morning to you, too, Kyue. Why yes, I did sleep well. Thank you for asking."

Smart ass.

"Did you put a ring on my finger?" I asked again in a much tighter voice.

It was all I could do not to shout at the insufferable man.

"Yes, Kyue, I did. That is your engagement ring. You'll get another one when we get married this weekend."

Well, damn.

"I didn't get you one."

Lucas sighed and his tone of voice changed, turning...softer? "I know, and that's fine. You don't have to get me a ring."

It obviously wasn't fine.

"Mr. Kincaid—"

"I need to take this call, Kyue. I'll talk to you later."

"Yeah, whatever."

I hung up and tossed my phone on the bed. I flipped the blankets back and rolled out of bed.
