“I’ll take care of it.”
“Yeah. I’m sure you will just like you handled it when she sucked your dick.”
“Pam...”
I hold my palm up in his face. “Don’t. Just fucking don’t. I’m done, Link.”
His thick and rough digits curl around my wrist, pulling my hand to his chest over his heart. “Feel that.”
I roll my eyes.
“Only beats for you, babe. If I don’t have you and our son...I don’t have nothing.”
“You only have yourself to blame. You created this situation.”
“Think I got here on my own? You’re innocent. Haven’t been pushing me away. Telling me to fuck whoever I wanted, right? I imagined it, huh?”
My breath catches in my throat. I want to scream in his face that he’s full of shit but he’s not. He’s right. I pushed too hard. “You’re right but nothing I’ve done excuses the choice you made.”
“Swear to fuck if I could take it back, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I know I fucked us up, but I’m begging you to give me a chance to make it up to you. Want me on my knees? Want me to kiss your feet? Tell me what you want,” he roars.
“I want to erase her from existence. I want her gone. I want to forget that she ever touched you. That you ever wanted her to.”
“Want me to go downstairs and cut out her tongue? Slit her throat? Dump her body in a well somewhere?”
I shake my head. “This isn’t funny.”
“You see me laughing?”
“Be honest with me. Did you fuck her today?”
“No.”
I glance past him at the bed. The crumpled sheets don’t tell me anything, but the condom wrapper sure as hell does. “Liar,” I whisper. I step around him. “This look like nothing to you?” I snatch the wrapper and hold it up in his face.
Link knocks it out of my hand. “I don’t know where the fuck that came from. The crazy cunt musta put it there to set me up. You said you had a text.”
I narrow my eyes at him. “You swear on Connor’s life you didn’t fuck her?”
“Yeah. One thousand percent. Only time anything happened was what you saw. If I fucked her, I’d tell you. I may be a bastard, but I’ve never lied to you. That’s a check you cash.”
“Maybe so. I can’t look at you without hating you. I want to rip out your heart.”
“Want to get me back? Tit for tat. Go find you someone to fuck to make us even.”
“Maybe.”
“Fuck around and find out how far that’ll take you.”
“Would serve you right. Only unlike you I’ve kept my vows.”
“I said I was sorry.”
“Sorry?” I scoff. “You’re sorry doesn’t mean shit to me. I don’t care what you do, but I’m leaving.”
“That’s right walk away and ignore me. Pretend your shit doesn’t stink. You’re so damn perfect.”
“I’m not doing this. I’m going to see Jules and then I’m picking Connor up.”
