Chapter Twenty-Two

Aspen

I toss the phone across the bed as if it lit me on fire. Having the world at your fingertips can be dangerous. I’m sitting alone in a bedroom in Max’s house—scratch that—Max’s mansion, and I’ve yet to find out why we’re here.

But the information I just found sent icy chills down my arms. I pick up the phone again, closing the internet app so I don’t see his face again. Or any of their faces.

Tempted to call my father, my finger hovers over the numbers. He’d be on my side. Unlike Ryker, who seems to not believe me.

I glance up to a soft knock at the door, following a turn of the handle. The door creaks open and Ryker flashes a sheepish smile. “Hey.”

I drop my chin to avoid his gaze, still furious that he questioned me. I’ve never told him a lie. “My answer is no.”

Sighing, I turn off my phone. There’s no way I can call my dad. He’d buy a ticket on the first flight out. He has enough to worry about. Like beating cancer.

“Sorry. But I had to ask.” Shoving his hands in his pockets, his gaze jumps around the room. “This is crazy. And not my life. My friend's life… this shit is normal. I have obligations and a career that I can’t get caught up in—God knows what the hell is happening here.” His voice strangled with frustration.

I’m officially more trouble than I’m worth. He’s already made it clear how much he stays away from drama. “I’m sorry I came.”

He releases a harsh breath, and heavy steps on the carpet follow. I lift my head when his shoes come toe to toe with mine. “I don’t regret meeting you. And I sure as hell don’t regret bringing you here. It’s what comes after that I’ll always regret.”

My brows furrow. “After?”

“You going home.”

“Ryker,” my voice breaks along with my heart. I’d rather him say I’m too much drama for him. I stand up, our chests a fraction from touching. “My father–”

He presses his finger to my lips and nods in understanding. “I didn’t think it’d hurt this bad saying goodbye.”

It was painful the first time. This time might cause damage to my heart. “We’ve definitely gotten ourselves into a predicament.”

“Who knew how much this Ball Boy would like the Island Girl?” I didn’t. For a few quiet moments, I revel in our embrace, knowing the end is near, but there’s nothing that can change it.

He drops his hands, each gripping a side of my hips. I can’t control the heat between my legs when his smile quirks to life. It’s like my arousal is connected to a damn string that flicks on when his lips curl up.

“Since you told me to go fuck myself, I think you owe me a dance.” He’s getting better at figuring out what I said in French. His fingers add pressure. “The one where these move really fast.”

I’ve missed his playful tone the last couple days and I need it more than ever now.
