And I thought I was falling for him before? Shit, I already fell. He didn’t fuck him. I can’t quite get over that. “So you threw him out?” I prompt.


“Kicked his ass to the curb,” Bradley says. “Called him a cab and told him to jerk off in the bathroom if he had to, I didn’t want to know about it. I thought you saw all that. When he left, I wondered why you didn’t rush over and sweep me off my feet.”
