CHAPTER SEVEN

KAINE PRIDED HIMSELF on being a generous lover. Perhaps it was motivated by a desire to stay ahead and not owe his partner anything, especially satisfaction, but he had been on the wrong side of charity and, worse, selfishness. If he liked to have the upper hand and use it to keep a firm grasp of power, it was because he never again wanted to feel powerless.

But he felt utterly helpless as she exited. He’d let his ingrained distrust turn her first time into a disappointment. He might not be a romantic, but even his cynical soul believed such a thing ought to be a little bit special. Maybe not perfect. His had been awkward as hell, but he looked back on his sexual initiation with sheepish fondness, not bitter disappointment. It galled him even more that he’d tarnished what had been a singular experience for him.

He couldn’t leave things like this. He stood and yanked on his pants, following as far as the lounge. In her bedroom, he heard drawers slamming. Packing, most likely, mere hours after she had unpacked in there.

A jagged sensation in his chest tore at his heart. How would he get her to stay? Threaten her family again? Somehow, in trying to maintain the upper hand, he was left feeling as though he’d crawled out of the sewer. With his lungs aching, he searched his blank mind for some way to come back from his behavior. To make up with her.

Into the silence, her phone rang. She had dropped it on the floor between the sofa and the door. Her dress and underwear were discarded next to it, reminding him starkly of how perfectly they’d been attuned to one another less than an hour ago.

The phone read “Unknown” but the sequence of numbers was obviously intercontinental. He picked it up on reflex and slid to answer. “Hello?”

A woman’s voice choked, “Oh, God. I dialed the wrong number. I’m so sorry.”

“Wait. Are you looking for Gisella? Is this Rozi?”

“Yes,” she said in a distressed whimper. “Who’s this?”

“I’ll get her.”
