It wasn’t until an hour later, when she lay exhausted, sweaty and trying to catch her breath that the trademarked guilt started to sink in. She tried to push it down as he turned to face her. Wearing a lazy, relaxed smile, he used his fingertip to trace small circles on her shoulder.

It was starting to make her antsy, and she realized she’d been here for much longer than she’d anticipated. She’d blown off her shift at the store, even after Shane had helped her out, and she wondered if he’d still be lenient. She really hoped no one had seen her car parked outside. The worries continued to fill her mind, each one making her more panicked than the last.

Julian leaned closer and planted a kiss on her shoulder as he said, “Want me to go with you to get your stuff?”

For a second, she just stared at him blankly, wondering how he’d come to the conclusion that she’d decided to leave with him. Surely he’d known this was just going to be about sex…they always knew better than to assume the other was serious about ‘being a couple’. That’s just how their dynamic worked. “Julian…” she started, and watched his expression fall, watched the disbelief fill his eyes. She pulled the sheet around her as she stood up.

“No,” he said, his voice deep as if giving an order. “No. Cammi, listen—”

“This was just…just sex, okay? Nothing more.”

Shaking his head, he quickly pulled his jeans on and buttoned them as he stood. Turning to her he looked completely pissed. “That’s all it ever is to you, isn’t it? What’s your number by now, anyway? I mean, there’s a whole fresh batch of guys in this town and I’m sure you’ve worked your way through half of them by now.”

She shot him a glare as she stooped to pick up her clothes. “I should’ve known you’d do this,” she shot back. “I’m such an idiot.”

“You’re right about that,” he said, coming closer. “Because I know your secret, Cammi. If you keep pushing me away, I’ll have to tell.”

“Fine,” she snapped. “Go ahead and tell Machado that I’m guilty. But don’t forget you helped me dump the body.”

“I’m sure my lawyers would have no problem working out a deal if it meant throwing you under the bus,” he said. “By next week, you’ll be in jail, becoming a whole different type of bitch.”

Reaching out, she shoved his shoulder but he grabbed her hand and pulled her close. Keeping his tone low, he said, “I’d think very carefully about my next move if I were you.”

Looking into his eyes, she saw all signs of the enticing man who’d seduced her were gone now, leaving only the ruthless one she despised. Wrenching her arm away from him, she shot him a dirty look as she went to the bathroom.

Locking herself inside, she leaned against the door. Knowing she needed to get dressed and get out of there, she turned to the mirror to see how she looked.
