Excerpt
“So who lives here anyway?”
I pulled up into a parking space near Melanie’s building. All I had told Bryce so far was that I needed to check on a friend.
A friend.
God, she was so much more than my friend, and I had been ready to turn her away. But no more. I’d changed my mind. I was going to be there for her, or at least I would try. My own head was such a mess I wasn’t sure I was much good to her, but surely just being there would help.
I didn’t want to lie to Bryce. I was already keeping so much from him. “My friend is…a psychotherapist. Dr. Melanie Carmichael.”
“Isn’t that…”
I nodded. “Talon’s therapist. Yeah.”
“So she’s a friend of yours?”
“Yes. Sort of. I mean—”
“Christ. You’re screwing her.”
I shook my head with a chuckle. How in the hell had Bryce and I been separated for so long yet he still knew what I was thinking? “That’s none of your concern.”
Bryce gave me a broad grin. “Joe, I have known you your whole damned life. You can’t hide that shit from me. I can read you like a book.”
Apparently, he could, which wasn’t necessarily a good thing. I didn’t want him guessing what I suspected about his father, not until I had better proof. Once I did, I had to tell Bryce before I could tell Talon. I owed Bryce that much. This was his father, after all. I wasn’t looking forward to it.
“Okay,” I said. “You got me. We’ve fooled around a few times, but we’re really just friends.”
“Yeah? Then why are we coming here to check on her? Why not give her a call?”
“Because she’s not answering my calls.”
