She walks her fingers up his chest as she says this.

Dimitri looks past her, his gaze landing on mine.

I mouth ‘I’m so sorry.’

He turns his attention back to the woman, Jackie, and says, “Maybe later. But you should definitely take a peek in the pool house. See if you like the layout.”

Jackie sets off, not even noticing that I’m there. Guess it’s safe to assume where her mind is, and I hate that it makes me jealous.

As soon as she’s in the pool house, I climb out.

“I’m so sorry! You said it was okay to use the pool, and I didn’t know you were home.”

“I know what I said.” His gaze slowly moves over me. “I guess I should be glad you’re at least clothed this time. Not like that night so many years ago.”

My damn body responds to his words and I take a step toward him without thinking.

“Think about that night a lot, Dimitri?”

“And if I did?”

I give him a small smile. “I’d say you weren’t the only one.”

“Oh?”

If I were smart, I wouldn’t say another damn word.

“But not as much as I think about the last time we were in the pool together.” I move even closer. “When I called you Daddy.”

His jaw tics and he looks like he’s about to lose his shit. Smiling, I take a step back.

“Enjoy your date,Daddy.”

I’ve taken two steps away from him when he grabs my arm, pulling me flush against his chest. He then walks me backward until my back is pressed against the side of the house and we’re hidden in the shadows.

“I’d be very careful throwing that word around, little girl.”

A dark thrill shoots through me.

“And why is that?”

“Because I can only take so much.”

“You said something similar five years ago.”

“I did,” he agrees. “And it still stands.”

“Want to know what I think? I think you’re full of it.”

“You do, do you?”

“Yup.” I pop the ‘p’ for good measure.

“Let’s test your theory, then. Walk away from me, Lilith. Let’s see how far you get.”

Goosebumps lift on my skin at the use of my name.

“I think you’re forgetting something.”
