Chapter 14

Twice. Apparently Ashley Dunham was different because Eric deigned to have sex with her twice.

All attempts at trying to be professional was thrown on the backburner. My anger, my bitterness, my jealous, got the better of me, and I leaned forward. My fingers gripped the edge of my desk so tightly, my knuckles were white.

“Are you kidding me right now?” I asked in a hiss. “I honestly don’t remember you being this stupid, this reckless, when we were together.”

I didn’t know why I had lowered my voice. We were in the safety of my office and I wasn’t expecting any other clients to show up. There always was a possibility for Ryan King to drop by and he would be skeezy enough to try and listen in on this conversation, even with my door closed. But I doubted he had the time to be here anyway. He had a pretty easy case, thanks to Eric’s stupidity.

“Yeah, well, I never had a reason to be stupid when I was with you,” Eric pointed out. He, too, kept his voice low, but there was an edge to it. I knew him well enough to know that his anger wasn’t directed towards me but at himself. It made me calm down, if only slightly.

“How did this happen?” I leaned against my chair before reaching into my drawer and taking out a stress ball. Sometimes, I forgot I had this thing only because I rarely used it. Now, however, I was squeezing it so tightly, I wouldn’t be surprised if I punctured it with my fingernails.

Eric sighed, running his fingers through his hair. It was one of the few times I remember it being loose, falling into his face, rather than slicked back with some kind of hair product. The only time he wore it like that was when he went to bed. At least, from what I remembered.

“Honestly,” he said, finally picking his eyes up from my floor and looking at me. “I forgot we slept together in the first place.”

I blinked once, then twice. I squeezed the ball again and held it in a vice-like grip. Kind of like the way I wanted to hold Eric’s neck currently.

“You’re telling me,” I said slowly, “that you slept with her in the summer, during the off-season.”

“When the season ended,” Eric said, nodding his head once. “I remember her specifically because Kevin introduced me to her. I don’t remember how he knew her in the first place. I think maybe they worked together?”

I furrowed my brow. “She said it was at a club,” I murmured. “So now you admit that she isn’t wrong with her dates then? It’s just, you slept with her twice?”

Eric nodded. “If that’s what the rape kit says,” he said.

I resisted the urge to throw the ball out my window, shattering glass. “What do you mean?” I asked. I wasn’t trying to be confrontational, but he was making it really hard. “Eric, you cannot possibly be this –“

“Well, I am, Mika, okay?” He abruptly stood up.
