I opened my eyes and lifted my head.
I was going to use it.
“For Lee, it was Indy.”
He did a slow blink before he asked, “Baby… what?”
“For Lee, it was Indy. Only Indy. It had always been Indy.”
Understanding moved through his features and he made to come at me but I lifted my hand to him and he stopped.
I dropped my hand. “Eddie screwed everything that moved, but I swear, the minute he got a load of Jet, he was gone.”
“Ally, let me—”
I cut him off. “I think you know I could go on.”
“I know,” he said quietly.
“I want that for me,” I shared.
“Honey,” he started carefully, “you weren’t my first.”
“I wasn’t your first several things,” I replied.
“I wasn’t in love with her, Ally. Baby, I hadn’t even kissed her,” he told me.
“Yeah, Ren. But that doesn’t mean anything. I know because I fell for you before you kissed me. It was just that I knew I’d done it the morning after.”
His head jerked, his brows shot up, but his eyes stayed locked on me.
Then something moved over his face I didn’t quite get, but it was more than a little alarming, and he growled, “Come here.”
I had to get this done and get the hell out of there, so I shook my head. “No, I—”
“Ally. Get. Your ass. Over here,” he ground out and I blinked.
Then my spine straightened again.
“Zano, don’t you—”
“Fuck it,” he bit off then he was on me and half a second later he was on me as in, I was on my back in the bed and his body was covering mine.
Macho Alpha Maneuver!
How had I not seen it coming?
“Zano!” I shouted, shoving at his shoulders
The shoving at the shoulders and shouting gig didn’t work in the slightest (then again, it never did).
But this time, it was because Ren was focused.
Like, really focused.
“You’re in love with me?” he asked.
“Well, I was,” I snapped.
