peeked up to meet her stare, feeling timid––“We were always at it, Liv,” my mouth curved into a wistful grin. “But he…he doesn’t seem interested, and he’s cantankerous. The one aspect I can remember clearly is the sex––mind-blowing, body-shattering sex. And I can’t shake the feeling that maybe, getting back to that, might hold the key to unlocking everything that I’m missing. Does that make sense?”
Parting her lips, her chest expanded as she drew in a profound breath. She finally nodded. “Yes,” her word floated on a sigh, “It does make sense. Have you told him this?”
Frenzied, I shook my head, “God no, I haven’t told him. But I’ve literally been throwing myself at him and he’s not taking the bait. I don’t know what to do.” Silence invaded. I was shocked that Liv had no suggestions, considering she was a s brazen and as kinky as they came. “Liv, did I do anything to fuck up? Did I stray or something? Is that why he won’t…” I shrugged.
“Oh, chick, we both know that if you had, he wouldn’t be here.” Just as her lips were about to caress the brim of the glass, she muttered, “Ma ybe, you got to tap into Raven.”
How did I not think of that?
My face ached with how taut my muscles were as I beamed. “That’s why I fucking love you, Liv. You’re always full of ideas.”
“I’ll drink to that.” W e chimed our glasses and were about to set onto a lighter topic, when Liam burst through the front door like a bat out of Hell.
I felt the walls shake as he slammed it shut, yelling at anything that would listen to the abuse and profanities that fell from his mouth.
“That fucking asshole, I’ll make him fucking pay I tell you that, the piece of shit.”
Liv craned her head to the entranceway behind her as I set my wineglass on the exquisite white marble and gla ss coffee table in front of me. Dragging myself from the edge of the seat, I strolled passed the brunette, and into the hallway. “What happened, babe?” I questioned. I’d seen how short his fuse was becoming each day, but Liam exhibiting this degree of anger, I had not seen. He was shouting like a madman. I didn’t know how to deal with it, and a part of me felt intimidated, the same part of me that wanted to cower away.
“That fucker had better fucking watch his motherfucking back, that’s for damn sure.”
I stood in front of him. Lifting my arms slowly, I was about to set my hands on the side of his face, when Liv called my name. I turned to face her, my hands halted in mid-air. She shook her head and mouthed, “Don’t.”
He darted past me and into the living room.
“Who’s fucked you off this time?” she delved, lifting the glass to her lips.
Liam stood in front of the fireplace. He bent to retrieve my glass and bleed the contents within on simple gulp, “Don’t even fucking ask,” he hissed in contempt.
“Liam, can I do––”
“Do what, Kady? What is it you want to fucking do?” He flailed his arms in the air, making a point of displaying his wrath. “I’m sick and tired of this bullshit. Everything is going from bad to fucking worse.”
I shuddered and trembled as he began to prowl towards me with murder in his eyes. “Liam, I just want to help. ” I took a step back, overlooking my instincts which were screaming at me to remove myself from the situation. “Something serious has obviously happened, because I’ve never seen you this angry.”
“Angry? You think this is angry?” He slammed the glass down so hard on the table that the stem literally snapped in half. “Oh, baby , you haven’t seen fuck all yet,” he sneered.
Rearing up, my best friend parked her curvy body between us, halting his progression toward me. She squared her shoulders and held her head high. She pointed a long index finger. “Liam, you got to back the fuck down, do you understand me? If you don’t, I swear to God, I will put you on your fucking ass. Leave. Her. Alone.”
