It wasn’t until later that afternoon that he returned,his way up to our room Weariness emanated from him

Not just weariness--distance It orse than it’d ever been And I could swear I even saw resentment in his expression

Resentment towardme? What the hell did I do? "We need to talk"

He shucked off his gun holster, rolling his head on his shoulders "I don’t want to do this right now"

"You’re not going to put o out for your s--that you keep secret fro shut out of your life"

His eyes were full of warning "You need to learn patience"

Patience? He was putting this back on h enough to get to know your business? To actually discuss things with you? After we sleep together? Already did that! Once we’re living together? We are" I tapped my chin "Hmm? Maybe after you whip and screw s be than that? Yet you won’t share what’s going on in your life? In your thoughts?"

"Maybe it will never happen," he said, filling me with alarm "Did you ever think about that, Natalie? How about never?"

"If I’m not your partner in this, then I’ out and store ahenever it suits you" Like I’d done with my arsenal "How do you think that --which he’d told me

Should’ve listened to him, honey

He scrubbed his pals froive"

"You kno You just refuse!"

"So I’ when I can sense you’re pulling away fro away--you’re shovingdoor! You keep this up, and I will bolt Do you understand h I sensed a weird kind of panic in hi, sweet You’re as addicted to me as I am to you"

Under the influence I couldn’t deny this Not to mention that I was stupidly in love with hiood for me, to me"It’s true, I am addicted to you But maybe it’s time to kick the habit--"

A coed for his holster, had his gun out in an instant "Stay here Lock the door behind me"

My heart slammed "Who’s here? Is it another vor’s men?"

He cocked his head After a moment, he said, "No, and that’s a problem"

"How? Why??"
