“He’s with me no matter what.” I groaned in annoyance at how smitten I sounded. “That man has turned me into a marshmallow.”
Dusty laughed. She pushed her empty plate to the side. “I don’t think it’s just from Quake,” she said softly.
“What do you mean?”
“Eve” was all she said, brows high, her tone pointed.
I knew what she meant.
Rommy.
She’d touched my heart in ways I never expected.
I loved having her around. I loved seeing her and Kayson interact. I loved her laugh and everything she said because I never knew what was going to come out of her mouth next.
She’s so sweet and funny and also strong and fierce.
She was under my skin in a way I’d never felt before with any other woman.
Rommy was special.
She made me warm and relaxed. So much so, it was easy to switch off my brain when she was around. A lot like I managed when I was with Kayson.
“You’re talking about Rommy.”
Dusty nodded. “Yeah.”
Sighing, I rubbed a hand over my face and tucked some of my hair behind my ear while I thought of a way to explain myself, but I was coming up blank.
“Do you notice Rommy’s very affectionate?”
Snorting, I nodded. “Of course. It’s not hard to miss.” She was always touching and leaning or hugging against Kayson and me.
“Okay, so you don’t mind she’s like that with Quake?”
I jerked my head back, eyes widening as my pulse raced. It had never crossed my mind.
Why hadn’t it?
If it were anyone else—if one of the club girls rubbed themselves up against Kayson or hugged or brushed their hand over him—I’d see red. I’d tell them to back off, and yet, with Rommy it was… normal?
Dusty laughed lightly. “What’s going through your mind?”
I sat back but then leaned forward. “Why haven’t I been jealous?” Why did I like sharing my time with the both of them together?
Why did the thought of Rommy going home feel like my chest caved in and the only person keeping me whole was Kayson?
Would he miss her?
“Dusty….”
“You two have bonded in a way that’s different to your friendship with me and the other women. I love that you have something special with Rommy. She’s an amazing woman. But maybe think about the type of connection it is. Could it be more than friendship?”
I scoffed, snorted, then laughed. “What? No. No. I’ve never…. I wouldn’t cheat on Kayson. Ever.”
She shook her head. “That’s not what I’m saying. I know you’d never leave Quake. You two are committed completely. But there’s nothing wrong with adding a third.”
“What?” I breathed.
