How can you regret it when you don’t even know what it was?

DOM

Because I regret doing anything that ever hurt you, Shadow.

RYAN

You’re hurting me by coming back into my life.

DOM

I know, and I’m sorry.

RYAN

If you were sorry, you’d back off.

DOM

If I believed you were truly happy then I would.

But you’re not, Ry.

When you’re ready to stop lying to yourself, I’ll be right here, waiting.

I struggled to see the screen through the red clouding my vision. Just who the fuck did Dominic Walker think he was? He couldn’t just show up after all this time and assume he knew everything.

I only managed to tap out two words in response.

RYAN

Fuck you.

DOM

You can if you want.

I blinked in confusion as the haze cleared.

RYAN

DOM

Fuck me.

My jaw dropped, something throbbing deep in my gut. Was he suggesting what I thought he was? No. I had to be mistaken. It wasn’t like we’d ever talked about…that. Not with me topping. It hadn’t occurred to us.

But then my phone buzzed again and all doubt was erased.

DOM

You can fuck me. Anytime you like.

Hell, give me five minutes in the shower and you can fuck me now.

RYAN
