His

Chapter 28

After the brief kiss, he smirked. "Well then."

"Sorry."

"For what?"

"Kissing you."

"I've been waiting for that to happen for three weeks, Tally."

"Then why didn't you?"

"Figured maybe you'd make the first move."

"Is that bad?"

He shook his head. "Very good, actually."

I agreed for him to follow me home and we sat in my bed, talking. "I know this place is nothing compared to yours."

He smiled. "It's alright."

"Okay."

His face softened. "Everything okay?"

"It's just... I cut things off with Ryder and I feel like this will be the same type of thing I had with him."

"That's if you only want that, Tally."

"What do you mean?"

"He doesn't want anything to do with romance, only money. Me on the other hand, I can provide you with anything you want."

"You wouldn't get pissed about me working?"

He shook his head. "Not at all. I like a hard-working woman, Tally."

My phone vibrated and I saw Ryder's number again. "Are you going to answer that?"

Nodding, I picked up the phone and pressed the accept button. "Hello?"

"God, how nice it is to hear your voice."

"What do you want?"

"How are you?"

"I'm great, thanks for asking!"

"Well, I wanted to call and ask if you wanted to meet me for dinner tomorrow night so we can talk. I really don't like what happened with us."

"Us? There never was an us, Ryder. You acted like a complete asshole, and I have no time for that."

"I apologize for my behavior."

"No need to apologize, because I don't think having dinner or doing anything with you would be a good idea. I don't like the way you treated me."

The only response I received was silence. "Tally..."

"Yes?"

"I would like to apologize in person, it's the least I can do."

"I'll..."

Suddenly, the phone call ended. "What the hell?"

Antonio rolled his eyes. "Typical Ryder. He's such a little pussy."

Not wanting to think about Ryder, I pulled him closer to me and kissed him. Looking at me, he smirked and picked me up. "I like talking to you, Tally."

"We can talk later," I whispered in his ear. "I need you to pleasure me."

"You don't have to ask me twice."

After vigorous sex, he got dressed. "Well, I'll let you get some sleep, doll."

"Yeah, I'm a little tired."

He smiled. "I wonder why. Call me?"

"I will."

"You better."

He kissed me one last time before leaving. I took a quick shower and saw Antonio had texted me already. Miss you already, love.

Tally: Miss you too, baby. I can't wait to continue this.

I nearly shit my pants when I realized that I didn't send that message to Antonio. I sent it to Ryder.
