“What business is it of yours,” I ask you gently and your look shoots to me. “I mean, she’s Carter’s ex and it’s none of your business who she was seeing, right, baby?” First, Caden, you stare at me as if you misheard, then you realize that I’m probably jealous, which you love, judging by the gleam in your eye. You smile at me and I would exterminate all Melissas in the world for that smile. With an index finger, you stroke along my jawline. Damn, I love it when you give me your full attention and when I manage to pull you out of such moments. You aren’t as extreme right now as during the last few days, but still, it’s a begi
ing and a small sense of achievement for me.“You’re right, baby girl. It’s none of my business and I’m not really interested,” you say casually and turn back to your food as if nothing happened.
Melissa’s mouth gapes as she stares at me with her eyes wide open. God, she shouldn’t pretend I defeated a bear, a mass murderer, Jack the Ripper, or whatnot.
Even Emilia appears a little surprised.
Carter hides his smile behind his fist. And I feel vindicated, confirming that we can do this, Caden, because I believe I’m figuring out how to deal with you, you little devil.
