“Want to know what I think?” he asks, his throaty, gruff voice sending another shiver down my spine that lands right between my legs. “I think you kept it from me as an attempt to protect yourself from what you want.” I suck in a sharp gulp of air as I feel his scratchy face brush up against my cheek. “I think you hate how much you enjoyed our night together. I think it made you realize just how much you still care about me, and I think that fucking terrifies you.”

Biting down on my tongue to keep from saying anything, I hate how right he is. How easily he reads me.

“How’d I do?” I can hear the smirk in his tone. “Was I close?”

“No.”

Conrad clicks his tongue. “You’ve never been a good liar, Whit. I hit the nail on the head, didn’t I?”

Huffing out a breath, I turn my head until we’re face to face. “You didn’t hit shit except maybe your own damn head if you think you’re right.”

“Oh, kitten…” Bringing his hand up, he gently—so fucking gently—brushes his thumb across my cheekbone. “I know I’m right.”

His brazen confidence shouldn’t be a turn-on; it shouldn’t set off flames inside my veins, but it does. My nipples harden under my shirt, every inch of skin feeling electrified as I try to fight it.

“He didn’t deserve it,” I finally murmur, eyes cast down, unable to look at him.

“Who didn’t?”

“Reggie.” Shame floods my system at even saying his name, and I don’t miss the way Conrad’s entire body stiffens. “Reggie didn’t deserve what I did to him that night.”

Quiet for a moment, he finally says, “He was never good enough for you.”

I look up, taken aback by the ferocity in his gaze as he stares back at me. “That doesn’t mean he deserves to be cheated on and lied to.”

“You feel guilty, then. Is that what it is?”

“Of course, I feel guilty, Conrad! Don’t you?”

“Fuck no, I don’t feel guilty.”
