“What is wrong with you? I’m with Rob.”
“Are you?” he challenges, lifting his chin. He has a jawline that could cut glass. “Are you two exclusive or…”
“Why would you think we aren’t?” I ask carefully. Just how much has Rob been talking to the others? Do they know that things aren’t the best between us right now?
“Rob doesn’t normally operate like this. Maybe it makes me wonder what it is about you that makes him want to maybe settle down and be with one woman.”
“Does he normally date around? Go with multiple girls at once?”
"If you're asking if he's ever had a threesome, yes. If you mean if he dates two girls at the same time… he doesn't really date. He just fucks a girl a few times and then moves on to the next one. So I guess that means he's monogamous, but it's only for a short period of time. No more than a week, usually."
“Allie was a month,” I say bitterly.
Ace chuckles. “Jealous, huh?”
“I’m sure it’s not a good look on me.”
“Nah. Green’s your color.”
I burst out laughing. “You’re saying jealousy is a good thing? For me?”
“Means you care about him.”
“And I do.”
“Do you care about me?”
There he is, trying to pressure me, maybe even trying to corrupt me.
“I’m not sure where exactly Rob and I stand right now,” I admit.
“So maybe you are free to do what you want with anyone?” He reaches up to touch my face.
I grab his hand and yank it down. Our fingers automatically intertwine, as natural as can be, and maybe this is dangerous, but if he thinks he can corrupt me, maybe I’ll be the one to corrupt him instead.
“Do you really want to mess around with your friend’s girl?” I challenge, squeezing his hand before releasing it.
“Don’t think I’ve forgotten about that kiss.”
“It was a peck. Pathetic.”
“It wasn’t the kiss you deserve, no. Trust me. I can give you a much better kiss.”
“I bet you can’t make me come from just one kiss.” I smirk. “And no, you aren’t going to try.”
“Maybe I won’t try tonight, but if you and Rob aren’t as tight as you think…”
“We’re as tight as my pussy,” I shoot back.
Ace chuckles. “Fuck, you’re hilarious. I love that. And the way the moonlight is hitting your hair… It makes you look like you have a halo, but I can see your horns. You aren’t the good girl you pretend to be. Admit it. You’ve been thinking about that kiss.”
“And how pathetic it was, yes.”
“I can replace that memory of that kiss with a much better one. Just say the word.”
I’m such a messed up, fucked up person that I can’t deny that I wouldn’t mind it if Ace kissed me. Hell, I would kiss Gabe or Zac too, and it’s all because I’m not sure where Rob and I are going relationship-wise, and I don’t want him to turn his friends against me. I want a chance to see where things could go if I’m not dating Rob exclusively.
Because while I might want to kiss his friends, I don’t want to let Rob go either.
