Page 38 of The Deception You Weave
Kane: Spending another night with another man in your bed? You're a dirty little whore, Scarlett Hunter.
A gasp rips from my throat at his words.
"Everything okay?"
I glance over at Luca's concerned eyes and I force a smile on my face.
"Of course."
How the hell does he know?
I close the bathroom door behind me, my hands trembling as I lean back against it.
I thought he was done.
A silent laugh falls from my lips because a small part of me even believed it.
I'm such an idiot.
When it comes to Kane and me, I suspect it'll never be over. Not unless he kills me.

Kane
Letty's usual protectors are long gone as she walks into sociology Friday morning. She's just followed by one of Luca and Leon's minions, but he doesn't look like he particularly cares for the role of babysitter.
The second her ass hits the chair, her cell buzzes and she stupidly pulls it out.
Kane: You seem to have lost your harem.
Her head twists to the side slightly before she catches herself.
Instead of replying, she locks her cell and places it on the desk in front of her.
Kane: Now that's not very friendly of you. I thought you were all about sharing.
She glances at the preview on the screen and her shoulders tighten in anger.
Good, I'm getting to her.
Kane: Put it wherever you want, you know I'm better.
She laughs as she reads this one and my over-inflated ego has the desired effect because she picks it up and starts replying.
Princess: Not even you can compare to a Dunn sandwich. Enjoy your life, we're done, Kane.
She ends it with a middle finger emoji at the end and I can't help but laugh which earns me more than a few irritated glances as our professor continues on with his lecture.
Kane: You're not calling the shots here, Princess. You're the one hiding all the secrets. We're only done when I say we're done.
Princess: You did. Or did you forget already?
I cast my mind back to our hazy conversation on Monday but the fact of it is, I was so out of it and in so much pain that I can hardly remember anything. I know she was the one to have the last word and walk away though and that doesn't bode well.
Kane: Doesn't count when I'm high on pain meds, because of you, I might add. We're not done until you have zero secrets, Hunter.
Princess: I didn't make you drive into a truck, I NEVER MADE YOU DO ANYTHING. All of this bullshit is on you.
