Chapter Ten

Evie sat up and folded her legs before her. She watched the gentle rise and fall of Ross’s chest, even bestowed a few kisses upon it where his hair formed a diamond-shape over his heart. She couldn’t settle though, she kept thinking of Kit, and how he was probably stretched out next door, pleasuring himself having eavesdropped on the entirety of her and Ross’s lovemaking. In a way that seemed fair, considering they’d made him part of the scenario.

When she crept to the bathroom over an hour later, a faint gleam of light showed beneath the bottom of the guest room door. Evie hurried passed, afraid he was waiting up for her. She hadn’t forgotten his request that she come to him with Ross’s sweat fresh upon her skin, and though the idea left her curiously excited, she wasn’t about to act it out. Instead she waddled across the landing, intending to soak way the cricks in her limbs and the ache in her heart with half a bottle of Radox.

She left the main light off in the bathroom opting for the dim shaving light over the mirror instead. Evie looked at her reflection, barely recognizing herself. Oh, outwardly she remained the same, slightly overweight, blue eyes, streaked mousy brown hair, but inside something had changed. Her vision of domestic goddesshood had been blasted to smithereens by a black-eyed rogue, with snaky hips and a silver-tongue. A man who claimed that being with him wouldn’t upset the balance of her current relationship, and whom she truly wanted to believe, only he’d already upset the balance, and surely a threesome wouldn’t be more than a one off. What happened afterwards?

She jumped at the knock on the door. Kit let himself in. “Is everything okay?” he asked.

Evie didn’t grace him with an answer. If everything had been okay, she wouldn’t have been lurking in the bathroom at one a.m.

“Evie?” He padded barefoot over the tiles to reach her, a black silk kimono covering his nakedness. “I could hear you. I heard what Ross was saying. What did he do to you?” His image swam in the mirror beside hers, dark hair swept across his brow to mask his eyes.

“None of your business.” She dropped her gaze to the mug holding their toothbrushes, three of them, squashed together where there’d recently only been two.

“Is it not?” Kit spun her around. He held her facing him with his hands upon her shoulders. “Seems to me that I was involved, considering how many times my name got mentioned.” He leaned closer, as if he was about to kiss her. The dark line of stubble above his lip had grown thicker. There was a shadow to his jaw line too. “What sort of make believe did you play?”

“Did you tell him?” she asked, seeking out the truth in the dark depths of his eyes. “Have you had a nice chat about me, discussed what’s allowed?”

Kit’s brow furrowed into numerous tiny lines. He eased back a little and pressed a finger to his lips in quiet deliberation.
