smile again. “Whatever. I just like your hair down because you look less like my waitress and more like my date. I guess that makes me a dick.”
Backing away, I felt nervous under his glare. Cooper gave the dog’s head a good caress then left the animal and walked to me.
“It doesn’t have to be this difficult. Why do you make it that way?”
“I have issues.”
Cooper gave me a half smile. “Messed up chicks are hot.”
“That explains why you’re so into me. I’m super messed up.”
Fully smiling now, he stepped a little closer. “Wear your hair any way you want.” Nodding, I inched away from him and Cooper sighed. “Never in my life has it been this much work.”
“I still think that’s the real reason you’re so hot for me. You want the chase.”
“No, I want you.”
Shivering at the need behind his words, I shrugged. “I think you’d lose interest if I gave you what you wanted.”
Running a hand through his damp blond hair, Cooper looked over my head at the beautiful view then his gaze returned to me.
“Let me ask you this, Farah. If you want rid of me and I’ll blow you off once I’m done fucking you, why don’t you just let me fuck you? Is it that you think I might not go away and you’ll be forced to admit something else is happening here?”
“No.”
Grinning at my lie, Cooper moved closer. “Anything special you want me to wear tonight?”
I smiled despite my best efforts. “Don’t get all dressed up on my account, Coop. I’d think you were plenty pretty even if you showed up in sweats.”
Laughing in his deep way that I felt to my core, Cooper reached out to touch my face. I backed away because he was all kinds of bad news. While I planned to put his question to the test and get rid of him for good, I wasn’t ready yet. Cooper sighed heavily when I dodged his affections.
“Don’t cry,” I said, giving him a grin. “I still like you. I just don’t want the dog’s sloppy seconds.”
Smiling slightly, he studied my face. “I’m not giving up. If you keep running, I’ll keep chasing. I know what I want and I’m not pissing it away because you have issues.”
“Right because there’d be no logical reason to avoid getting involved with you.”
“No, there wouldn’t.”
“You sleep around. You beat on people. You aren’t exactly the warm and cuddly type.”
Cooper shoved his hands into his pockets. “You don’t know what type I am because you see what you want.”
“Trust me that you’re not nearly as mysterious as you think.”
“And you’re full of shit. You want this too, but it’s easier to pretend I’m the problem.”
Moving away from him, I frowned. “No, you’re right. It’s better if I give in so you can treat me like shit.”
“Why the fuck would I?”
“Because that’s how you treat all those other girls.”
“You’re not like them.”
“How do you know? You fuck those girls then throw them away like used condoms. They might be exactly like me, but you wouldn’t know. You never fucking talk to them. If I had fucked you that first night, you’d have tossed me aside without talking to me too.”
“Bullshit. You wouldn’t have fucked me the first night.”
Stepping back, I glared at him. “I’m not pure. I’m not the good girl. Just like they’re not whores. People are complicated, but you see what you want. You judge them worthy of your time then dismiss them. You’ll do it with me and I’ll be lucky to have gotten screwed by you.”
“Fuck!” Cooper yelled, startling me a foot off the ground. “You won’t let me show you. You think this shit about me and you won’t let me do anything different. You won’t let me do anything period.”
“I don’t want to go to dinner,” I said, crossing my arms.
Hurrying towards the front of the house, I hoped Bailey was around. Somehow, I sensed she knew what was happening and decided to keep herself invisible.
