Chapter 13

Greed: Because he’s everything he promised he’d be!

Quinn~

“You’re a goddamn idiot, Q.”

I put my free hand on my hip, stopped still, and replied, “Oh, really, this from the woman who has a living, breathing perfection of fantasy asking her to marry him every morning? If I’m an idiot, what in the hell does that make you, Iz?”

She huffed over the phone. “It’s not the same thing, Quinn. Chase simply wants to be with you without rules and regulations. Julian wants to own my every waking moment. I’m treading lightly because if I don’t, I’ll completely lose myself in him.”

Her words weren’t an exaggeration, and I could hear the emotion behind them. “You really love him don’t you?” I knew what they had was intense, but I hadn’t heard about any declarations of love yet, so I did wonder.

“You promise not to say anything?”

I scoffed, “Pulease…”

“I know, I know. It’s just…I…it’s stupid. I’m stupid,” she bemoaned. “I’m scare he’s too good to be real, Q. I’m scare that as soon as I hand myself over to him he’s going to turn into this other person. Like the Julian he’s showing me now is a trap.”

“Awe, Iz, sweet girl, one thing Julian is not, is fake. What you’re seeing is what you’re getting. And all anyone sees these days is how much that man lives for you. It’s like the only reason he’s able to take a breath is because he knows you exist and you’re with him. That’s some powerful shit, girl.”

“Okay, okay. Nice deflecting. Let’s get back to your stupid bullshit.”

I gasped in justified outrage. “My bullshit is not stupid. It is real and should be handled with patience and care, damn it.”

“You don’t know the meaning of the words ‘patience’ and ‘care’. You’re scare, plain and simple, and you’re being a complete bitch to him because of it.”

“Ace, when did you get on the phone?”

“Not funny, Quinn,” Iz warned. “Look, Q. I get it. I really do, but you’re being so unfair to him. He’s done nothing but show that he wants to be with you and you’re fighting him at every turn. You’re the only one putting limits and stipulations on what you guys are doing, not him. Chase isn’t proposing marriage to you every chance he gets. He just wants to date you and see if it leads to a future with you, if it even leads there. But if it doesn’t, it doesn’t. But you’re not even letting that option be possible.” She took a breath, before continuing, “If you truly do not ever want to get married and/or have children, then end it with Chase now, and go back to the casual sex you used to have.”

Her words caused the pit of my stomach to bottom out. “Chase wants to get married and have children one day?”

“I don’t know if he does or doesn’t, but I do know it’s way more than just meaningless sex for him, and if you don’t have any feelings
