“I’ll tell you,” Cash calls.

I halt.

“I’ll tell you everything.”

I glance at him over my shoulder.

“If you promise not to be mad.”

“Dude.” Gabrielle snorts. “That ship has sailed and is halfway across the ocean already.”

Baa!

“Pan agrees.”

“Fine,” Cash says. “I’ll tell you everything and you can get as mad as you want because the goat said you could.”

I’m frozen on the sidewalk. I want to know why Cash dumped me at our high school graduation. But I don’t want to want to know. I want to be able to walk away and forget all about him.

Because that tactic has worked so well for me over the past eleven years.

“Fine,” I huff and march toward the house. “But I’m not promising I won’t sic Katy Purry on you.”

“You’re mean,” Cash declares but there’s no heat in his words. In fact, he’s grinning.

He thinks he’s won this round. I narrow my eyes on him. He hasn’t won a thing. Jerk.

Chapter 21

The truth – won’t always set you free but it will make you really, really mad

Cash

Ifollow Indy as she stomps into the house. It probably makes me an asshole but I can’t resist staring at her ass. An ass I dug my hands into last night as I plunged into her body. I want to do it again and again but after this conversation, I’ll be lucky if she’ll let me near her again let alone touch her naked skin.

She flings the door open and I cough to stop from grinning. Indy is adorable when she’s angry.

She whirls around on me with her hazel eyes flaring. “Well?”

Crap. Why the hell did I agree to tell her the truth? This is going to be a disaster.

I clear my throat. “Can we sit down?”

“Nope.” She points to the floor in front of my feet. “You’re going to stand right there and explain why you dumped me in front of the entire high school on graduation day.”

I rub a hand down my face as I stall. “You were too good for me.”

“Asshole.”

Uh oh. She’s swearing. And we’re not in bed where her swearing causes my blood to heat.

“I’m the one.” She stabs her chest with a finger. “I’m the only one who decides if you’re good enough for me or not. I gave you my virginity. Does that say he’s not good enough for me?”

“I don’t want to hurt you.”

She rears back. “You don’t want to hurt me? It was okay to hurt me eleven years ago but all of a sudden you’ve grown a conscience and don’t want to hurt me anymore?”

“I never wanted to hurt you. I…” I cut myself off before I admit how much I love her, how much I’ve always loved her.
