“I’m sick of playing these stupid fucking games.”
“Such as?”
“Stop acting dumb, Anderson; it doesn’t suit you at all.” He tucks a piece of my hair behind my ear. “I don’t want you to go out with that Pilates fuckwit again.”
“Why?”
“Because I want you all to myself.”
“And yet you expect me to share?”
“No. I won’t see anyone else either.”
I stare at him for a moment as I try to keep up with the conversation. “Speak English, Tristan. What are you proposing?”
“Casual monogamy.”
“Casual monogamy?” I smirk. “Is that a thing?”
He pulls me close and bumps me with his hips. “We’ll make it a thing.”
“And may I ask how?”
“Well . . . I’ll only see you, and you’ll only see me.”
“I don’t know if I can do that.” I smile against his lips as he moves closer and kisses me.
“Too bad.” Our lips crash together as he holds my face in his hands. “I don’t have a choice in the matter, so we need to do this.”
“Why don’t you have a choice?” I ask.
“Because I only want you.”
I pull into the loading zone and give Fletcher a wave. He smiles as he sees me and runs over and jumps in. He’s carrying a suit bag and is rustling around and not closing the car door. “Hi,” I say as I put my indicator on. “Quick, I’m not allowed to pull in here.”
He slams the door, and I pull back out into the traffic. “Hi,” he replies.
“Hi.” I smile over at him and rub his leg. “Look at you, my big working boy.” I glance into the back seat. “What’s in the bag?”
“Oh.” He smiles proudly. “Tristan bought me a present.”
My eyes flick over to him in surprise. “What?”
“He said I’ve been working really hard, so he wanted to reward me.”
“Are you serious?”
He nods with a proud smirk.
“Fletch, I’m so proud of you for trying so hard.” My eyes swing to the back seat. “What is it?”
“A new suit.”
I frown over at him. “How much did that cost?”
“Like three thousand dollars.”
“What?” I scoff.
