Page 114 of Nothing to Tell

“You don’t even care that Adara’s getting married.Most sisters would freak without their own serious relationship.”

Ignoring her meltdown at the engagement party, she chose strength over vulnerability now.And where did that strength come from?Not her.From the man who’d saved her.

“You were always a straight shooter,” Damon said, resting his hand on her knee.

“Charissa’s being a straight shooter.She wants to get married, she’s made that clear.You can’t ask her to be any plainer than that.”

“Yeah.”

“You don’t want to marry her?”

“Come on,” Damon said.“Charissa’s hot but it’s a whole different ballgame living with her.”

“Then breaking up is for the best,” Harper said.“If the relationship isn’t going the way both of you want, you should move on.”

“Like you and Hunt,” he said.“Was he a prick?”

And it was his business, how?“I don’t want to talk about Bastian.”

“Guys like that think they own the world.You’d never be happy with a man so overbearing.”

Ha!Pot?Hello, Kettle.

Though that was hardly the time to point it out.

“We were good together,” he said.“Where did we go wrong?”

Finally, an easy question.“You slept with another woman.”

Damon smiled.“Always so straight talking.”

His hand slid up her thigh.Oh, uh, no, this was—no way.

“Don’t,” she said, pushing it down.

“We were good together, Harpy,” he said, leaning closer.“No expectation, no disappointment.”

“Indifference,” she said, using Bastian’s word.“We weren’t good together, we were just together.”

“We were a team,” he said, reaching for her face but she ducked back.“We were good.”

On alert, caution tingled.“Damon…”

He lunged, putting his weight over hers.One problem at a time.She had her work cut out trying to avoid his mouth.

A scream startled him up.And there was Charissa and Adara in the doorway.Of course.

“You’re having sex with your ex!”Charissa exclaimed.

Uh, no, glancing down confirmed they were both fully clothed.

“We’re not,” Harper said.“He’s not.”

“How long has it been going on?”Charissa demanded as though Harper hadn’t spoken at all.“I should’ve known!This is why you broke up with Bastian, isn’t it?”

“No,” Harper said, finding her feet.

Someone took her hand.Damon.Damn Damon right there on his feet next to her.
