wasn’t on his reader. “Besides, you were with me the whole time. When exactly would I have done it?”
    Jamie nodded, his body sagging deeper into the chair like he was just tired of it all. Cat nearly leapt into his lap. She was all soft and feminine with a flowing dress, hair bound atop her head, and smelling of flowers. Plastic indeed.
    “Have you eaten? I saved some soup for you,” she said to Jamie as she perched on the arm of his chair.
“You hungry?” Jamie asked me. Cat looked momentarily panicked at the thought of me joining them.
“Nah. I’m good.” I waved the book at him. “Just going to sit here a little longer and read about some great warrior’s throbbing rod.”
Jamie’s lips twitched, hiding a smile. He got up and followed Cat out of the room. He even let her put her hand in the crook of his arm. I shook my head at the whole scene and wondered if I ever tried that hard.
I actually lost some time reading Sei’s novel. The struggles of the characters’ world seemed a simple escape, and suddenly I knew why my best friend had a library full of this stuff. Maybe he’d let me borrow more.
The sound of laughter floated to me from the kitchen. The few other guests that had been strewn about the lounge earlier were all gone, and I was alone. But I’d been so absorbed I hadn’t noticed any of them leaving. Marking my page with a fresh tissue, I rose and headed for the kitchen. Jamie had one of the keys, but we hadn’t spoken about the sleeping arrangements yet.
Jamie and Cat sat at the counter looking like an old married couple. She leaned over him, flirting, touching, and making jokes that had him grinning ear to ear. Her rail-thin body and tiny breasts were nearly plastered to his side. I had to fight to keep from growling at her to stop touching him. Damn.
I had no reason to be jealous. He wasn’t mine. Had made no indication that he was even interested. But I’d never felt the green-eyed monster so strongly. Not even when I thought I had a thing for Sei and found out he and Gabe were an item. My throat felt tight, and instead of speaking to them, I turned and headed to my room, taking the stairs two at a time.
Constantine leaned against my door.
“Go away,” I told him.
“Do you really want to go to bed alone? Your beefcake friend has his own company.” He gripped my shirt and yanked me close enough to breathe in his soapy scent. My heart pounded, and the heat of him made my cock swell. Stupid body. “We were so good together.”
“Until you fucked me over.”
Con sighed. “Remember that summer camping trip? It rained for four days, but we still snuck out of our parents’ tents to jerk off together.”
“That’s just it, Con. It was always about the sex. I’m done with that. I didn’t even know you had a sister. How much of a relationship is that?” Done with being used, I pushed him away and put my key in the lock. Con’s hand fell over mine, not letting me open the door. He pressed his front into my back, his erection hard against me. He was no body builder, but he had half a foot on me. Though, unlike Seiran, martial arts gave me an added edge.
Sweeping a quick turn and twist of his wrist, I slammed Con into the wall beside the door, pinning his arm behind his back at an awkward angle. He yelped in surprise.
“I’m really not kidding.”
“Fine. Whatever. Let me go.”
I kicked my door open, shoved him away, then stepped into the room and shut it firmly. Watching from the peephole, I waited until Con wandered away, shaking his head and grumbling something I couldn’t understand.
The night had already been a wash. And since I had the room to myself I figured I’d enjoy it. I cranked up the heat, stripped out of everything, and sank into bed with the romance novel. Sadly, the bed didn’t smell like Jamie, but I hugged a pillow to my chest and pretended it was him I cuddled as I read. For some reason the warrior kissing the girl in the novel made me remember one terrible day
