Excerpt:
Ethan grit his teeth as Lia launched
into her third story about how great Chris was. And yes, Chris was
smart and funny and obviously kicking ass at the internship with a
state senator. But did she have to sound so breathless when she
talked about him?
He’d brought this on himself.
Yes, of course he’d go with her,
anywhere, anytime, like he was some kind of stand-in boyfriend. Just
walk and talk and laugh with her, but don’t go home with her. No,
she was going home to Chris.
Chris, who had emailed him after the
phone call. Thx for covering.
As if they were still back in
Afghanistan, covering each other’s asses. But Lia wasn’t a shift
they could trade or a ration he could lend. She wasn’t a barrage of
gunfire he could deflect. She was Chris’s girlfriend, and Ethan
needed to fucking remember that.
No matter how hot she looked with a
handful of kettle corn.
“God,” she moaned. “This is so
freaking good. Why did you never tell me this was so freaking good?”
Maybe because you’re making sex
noises, and if you keep that up, my dick’s going to be hard. He
wasn’t sure which bothered him more, stories about Chris’s
general awesomeness or Lia’s kettle corn orgasms every time she
took a bite.
Her lips would be sticky by now, coated
in caramelized sugar and salt. He’d give anything just for one
lick, but she wasn’t his to taste. She wasn’t his at all. The
only thing he could do was grip the steering wheel and glare at the
dark Austin roads as he drove.
Wind whipped inside the truck cab,
coming in through the tilted rear windows where Oreo had his nose
pressed to the night air, ears flopping wildly.
“Chris thinks the senator’s going
to run,” Lia said.
Chris worked for a state senator who
was considering a run for the House of Representatives. Ethan knew he
had big plans for his representative’s career—and his own career,
eventually. There would be travel, and eventually, an apartment in
DC. Lia would be gone, and Ethan would have no reason to hang around
anymore.
No reason to stay and nowhere else to
go.
“Maybe you can look for a teaching
position in Washington,” he managed to say in a normal voice.
She gave him a strange look. So maybe
not that normal. “I’m going to stay in Austin,” she said, but
he didn’t believe her. Couldn’t believe her. Chris would end up
spending more time in DC, especially once he made the inroads he
wanted to. Especially when he ran for office. And Lia would be there
to support him, because that was the kind of wife she would be.
He was suddenly grateful he hadn’t
eaten any kettle corn. He might have chucked it back up.
“Well,” he forced out. “Maybe you
should keep your options open. You can take the full time job as an
aide as a temporary thing until you and Chris figure out where you’re
going to live.”
She looked annoyed now. “I already
know where I’m going to live. The same place I’m living now.”
Why the hell couldn’t he leave this
alone? But he couldn’t. It bothered him that she was acting like
things would stay the same. “You’re going to be graduating in a
few weeks, Lia.”
“Thanks for the newsflash, Ethan.”
“That means I can’t meet you and
Chris on campus for lunch between classes.”
“So we’ll see each other after
work,” she said. Stubbornly.
He closed his eyes briefly before
focusing on the road again. Nothing but darkness, the trees a shadow
wall pointing toward home. Lia’s home with Chris, the place Ethan
didn’t belong. All three of them were friends, but things had
already begun to change when Chris had graduated this past spring and
gone to work for the representative full time.
“Everything will be different,” he
said, unable to say more. Unable to say, You can’t be alone with
me anymore.
Even tonight had been a mistake.
