“What in the motherfuck is going on?” Jonah roared.
“Your girlfriend attacked me!” I roared back.
“What?” he asked with a confused look on his face.
I pointed to the heap of whore on the floor. “Your girlfriend attacked me.”
His confusion quickly morphed to anger. He spun around and lifted the girl to her feet. “Get the fuck out of my house, and don’t you dare come back. Got me?”
She whimpered, but nodded her head and moved to the door. “And Didi, you’re officially banned from the club, too. Now, get gone.” I almost felt bad for her when she started to sob as she fled, but my throbbing hand made me realize the error of my ways.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine,” I chuckled humorlessly and held up my hand. “My hand’s a little sore. I’m just gonna grab some ice for it.”
“What happened?” Jonah asked in a much softer tone.
“I found her on the couch when I came to make something to eat. She said—”
“Oh, fuck. Mmmm, you like it when I fuck your ass, you dirty little whore?”
Jonah whirled around and his eyes widened comically. “Oh yeah, she was watching that when I came out.”
I almost laughed as I watched him scramble to turn it off. The screen turned black, but the sound was still going.“Such a tight ass,”was moaned followed by the sounds of skin meeting skin. Jonah yanked all the cords from the wall, and suddenly we were surrounded by silence.
“So, yeah, she said she was your girlfriend and demanded to know who I was. Then, she said she was going to bash my face in, some words were exchanged, and I was the one to do the bashing,” I explained.
I didn’t realize Jonah had come up behind me while I was filling a bag with ice for my hand, so I jumped when his arms came around from behind and took the bag from me. He turned me around and cradled my hand in his, gently placing the bag on top of it. “Are you sure you’re okay?”
“I’m good,” I assured him, feeling very uncomfortable with the way he was looking at me. “What?” I asked.
“I’m sorry,” he said simply.
“For what?”
“Didi. I promised you would be safe here, and you weren’t. It won’t happen again.”
“It’s fine, Jonah. I don’t have a problem with you having your girlfriends or whatever come over. I mean, it’s your house, and I don’t expect you to change your lifestyle just because I’m staying with you for a little while.”
“She’s not my girlfriend.”
“Fuck buddy or whatever,” I said dismissively and glanced away.
He slid his hand under my jaw and tipped my face up to his. “Don’t know what she was up to. Never laid a hand on her. Never wanted to,” he said softly, and I was all too aware of how close his lips were to mine.
I gently pushed against his chest. “It’s really none of my business.”
“Maybe it should be,” he breathed and captured my lips with his. And he kissed me. Oh, holy hell, did he kiss me.
There was nothing hesitant or unsure about the way he devoured my mouth. He took from me, and for a few minutes, I forgot about everything except the way he made me feel.
Then, his phone rang, and I was thrust back into reality. I broke the kiss and shoved him back. “You should get that. I need to get to work,” I said and bolted from the room.

“What?” I barked into the phone while I watched River run from the room.
