CHAPTER 5

Hope looked at Nathan trying to figure this one out. He squinted his sexy eyes at her. Come on jerk... Give in already. "Look, this can work." She wanted nothing more than for him to come around. Come on babe... Come on babe.

"How? Pray tell me how the hell this is going to work?"

"As I said, we hook up occasionally... So I'm not really with you, that way you don't have that urge to kill me... You always seem to want to kill me for one thing or another." She said as an afterthought.

Hope shook her head at the memory of Nathan wanting to kill her. "Understand this is for real Hope. You want to be with me, you are only with me. He will eventually win you over and then it's game over for you. You will die... I will make sure of it."

"Oh my fucking god! You are too much. Look, I don't want a relationship with you. Fuck off already. Die... You will die, I will kill you." She said deliberately mocking his voice. "Do you hear yourself?"

"What I hear is you being hesitant to agree to be with me. Why? Because you know that you will end up with him."

"Okay, whatever you say Nathan. I will end up with him. Okay, you are the one who knows everything. I'm not going to waste my time on you. I'm sure I can find another guy who can get me off... There has to be somebody left on earth who can give me a freaking orgasm. I guess I'll keep trying until I find that person."

Hope was fed up, how dare he continue to assume she would return to Declan. Like that was never ever going to happen. Yes Declan was able to get her off, but she lost whatever drive she had that pushed her to him. It was dead, and if she was being totally honest with herself, she didn't think that he would ever be able to pleasure her again. Something about that day he let Nathan fuck her changed everything.

Before a dark faced Nathan had a chance to reply, Lydia walked out looking amazing. It so suited her to be casual. "Good morning." She said smiling. Nathan replied to her quietly. Hope gave her an awkward smile.

"Morning."

"Hope you two have worked it out." What? Um... Hope nodded her head.

"Yep, all worked out. Just waiting for Nathan here to find my keys."

"You off?" Lydia looked disappointed.

"Yep... Need to get as far away from the Stone's as I can possibly get."

"Oh..." She looked taken aback by Hope's comment.

"Yeah, she needs to go and look for another asshole who can give her an orgasm." Nathan said. Hope opened her mouth wide in total shock that he just announced that. "Why look so shocked for, you just said it."

"You are a real asshole Nathan Stone."

"Yeah... Took you this long to figure that one out?"

"Bite me."

"Okay well... I see things are sweet here." Lydia said shrugging her shoulders. "Who would Iike a coffee?"

Nathan nodded his head. Hope shook her head telling her that she was leaving. "I need my keys Nathan." She wasn't going to hang around and continue to humiliate herself.

"So go get them." Jerk.

"I don't get you. Seriously I don't. One minute you want me out of your face, you tell me go home Hope... Go home. Get away from me. The next minute you are trying to keep me right here. I mean you either want me or you don't. Make up your mind."
