I hide my anger and try to act natural.

I’m not taking him to court over this until I know what’s behind that door.

Once I know, I’m going to kick his arse over lying to me. Depending on what I find, of course.

“Well, I’m not disagreeing with you. You were a dick.”

He grins down at me, and it leaves a warm feeling in my chest.

He’s a liar, Daisy. A big, fat liar. There’s a door behind that bookcase to prove it.

“I promise never to be a dick to you again.” He leans down and brushes his lips over mine. “Only to use my dick for pleasurable purposes when it comes to you.”

My vagina stands to attention.

Down, girl. We have a trickster in our midst.

“How’s the horse?” I ask. My words come out hoarse and husky. I might be pissed off at Kas, but my body likes him a lot, and apparently, all it takes is the mention of his cock to send me off to Sexville.

“It’s got laminitis. Cooper caught it early, which is good. The vet prescribed an anti-inflammatory. That’s why I came back—to grab my wallet. I’m heading to the vet’s office to pick up the prescription. Cooper’s going to stay with the horse. Do you want to come with me?”

“To the vet’s?” My lips purse. “But I’m working.”

“And I’m the boss, and the boss wants his girl to come with him.” He takes ahold of my ponytail and gives it a gentle tug.

His girl.

Crap. That totally would have melted me faster than ice in hot water if he’d said it to me pre-lie.

Okay, truthfully, I have melted a little. But I’m still mad.

Hopping mad in fact.

It’s just hard not to want him or warm to him, especially when I’m in his arms and he’s being all lovely and sweet.

Then, it suddenly occurs to me.

I could lose him. I might have to walk away from him. Because whatever it is that he’s hiding from me, it might be a game changer.

Do I really want to lose Kas?

No.

But I also don’t want to be a blind fool.

I have to know the truth, and the only way I’ll find out is of my own accord.

I’m doing this to protect myself. And Jesse.

I let him down due to a man once before. It won’t happen again.

“Well then, I guess the boss gets what he wants.”

“Good girl,” he murmurs.

He kisses me again. He starts to suck on my lower lip as his hands find my butt, and my body comes to life. My hands find their way around his neck, and I kiss him back, sucking on his tongue. He groans into my mouth.

I wind my fingers into the hair at the back of his head. He pulls me tighter into his body. And the kiss goes from sweet to molten in seconds.
