babysit me. I'm very capable of taking care of myself. When you act like an over possessive ass, it pisses me off. I'm tired of your apologizing. Just stop, please."
He clutches my elbow, bringing me into his arms for a tight hug. "Okay, Lacey. I'll stop. I don't want to make you mad. I'm sorry. I’m going to walk you to your door." He laces our fingers together while we walk the short distance. Pulling me in for another hug at the door, he whispers, "I love you."
"I love you too, Caine," I manage before he covers my lips with his. I reach around his neck to deepen the kiss. Our tongues are needy. I love how he kisses. He places a hand on my cheek to tilt my head and somehow takes more of my mouth. Oh my! I am melting into a puddle. I hope my mom isn't watching. She likes Caine, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with her seeing him devour her daughter.
"I wish you would reconsider and stay with me tonight," he says breathlessly.
"Mmm, didn’t you already do that?” I ask.
“No Lacey, that was a fuck. I want to love each individual part of your body." I feel my figure start to weaken.
“Well, we can arrange for you to do that another night.” I pause to catch my breath seeing his disappointment. “I’m sorry Caine, but I promised Becca we would have a girl’s slumber party. I don't want to leave you either, but I need to be a good friend to her."
Groaning in my ear, "You're killing me Lacey. I want to take you again. How about right here?" He winks. "You know I could haul you off to the backyard and have my way with you."
"Caine!" I shout. "You will do no such thing. You got a little more than expected from me tonight, mister. I'm going inside. You and Lucas are going back to the barracks. I love you and I'll talk to you tomorrow." I give him a quick kiss turning to unlock the front door. "Becca, you ready?" I ask, noticing she and Lucas are in a deep conversation. I wonder if everything is okay.
"Yeah," Becca says over her shoulder. I watch Caine get back in his car while Becca is saying her goodbyes to Lucas. “It’s been real,” she says , walking away from the car.
" Alright love, did you have fun tonight?" I ask her as we head to my room.
"Yeah, um ... Lacey we need to talk," she says apologetically marching ahead.
"Okay. Are you okay? I saw you in a deep conversation with Lucas just now. Did Lucas do or say something to upset you? Because if he did, I swear...,” She cuts me off.
"No Lacey. It's nothing about Lucas."
I sit on my bed to remove my shoes waiting to see if she will elaborate. Impatient, I continue, " Then, spill it. Whatever it is appears to be upsetting you," I say defensively, "Did I say something to hurt your feelings?" I ask.
"No, Lacey Ann Nicole Edwards! It's about Caine," she states firmly. Oh dear. She used my full name. She’s mad. Wait... did she say...
"What do you mean something about Caine? I was with you all night. What did he do to you?” I ask irritated.
"Lucas just said some crazy shit. And where the hell did the two of you disappear to earlier at the club?” She raises her eyebrows at me. “Fine, we’ll get back to that. Lucas told me something bothersome about Caine. I kind of wish he didn't tell me because I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But if it was my boyfriend, I would want to know," she says regretfully.
"Becca, what the fuck are you talking about? You're scaring the shit out of me."
"Lucas said he thinks Caine is betraying you. He is really bothered by it because Caine’s his best friend. But, Lucas feels terrible for you not knowing of his infidelity." I cannot look at her. I'm wringing my hands together unable to break my gaze. I don't understand. "Say something Lacey, love."
“What do you mean betraying me?” I ask, because that is what she is expecting. I don’t know if I want to know anymore.
“You know like an asshole, son of a bitch, jackass, liar, man-whore, douche bag, playa. Do I need to go on?” she asks, puzzled that I’m
