âOkay . . .â I say slowly, not trusting where heâs going with this.
His lips press into a hard line like heâs debating whether he should ask his question. âOkay.â He moves to lie on his side so weâre facing each other, then props himself up on his elbow. âI know we joke, but do me a favor and donât bullshit me, Red.â
âDonât worry,â I say sweetly. âIâm not afraid to hurt your feelings.â
âYeah.â He lets out a breath of laughter. âNot exactly where Iâm going with this, but good to know.â
I frown, not understanding.
Jackson takes in a breath before speaking slowly. âIf you could be here with Emmet, or stay with me, who would you choose?â
I start to laugh but stop when I register how heâs looking at me. His eyes are darker, more focused than usual. âYouâre serious?â
He nods.
My heart rate picks up and my body warms the longer he looks at me. âWhy does it matter?â
âAnswer the question.â
My instinct is to deflect the question in some other way, but he doesnât look like heâll let this go. He wants the truth, and the truth is that I would gladly be here with him over Emmet. The truth is that, after the initial shock, I think a small part of me has been looking forward to spending the night with him. Jackson infuriates me, but Iâm comfortable around him. Thereâs something about being in his presence that feels like letting your hair down after a long day.
But thereâs also excitement.
Like the unknown of what heâll do or say thrills me. Will he make my blood boil, or will he make me laugh? Will he roll his eyes and dismiss something Iâve said, or will he stare at me with an intensity that feels like heâs trying to understand every part of me?
Keeping my voice low, I say, âProbably you.â
He raises his eyebrows, surprise etched in his features. âProbably?â
Too afraid to speak, I nod.
I brace myself for some type of ridicule, but he just holds my gaze, studying me. Thereâs no arrogant smirk pulling at his lips. No cocky lift of a brow. Thereâs nothing. Heâs just watching me with a crease between his brow, deep in thought.
âAnd Keith?â he asks, his voice low.
Part of me wants to lie. I donât trust what he might do with this information. He knows Iâm not interested in Keithâthat much heâs made perfectly clear, but heâs not asking that. Heâs asking if Iâd rather be here with Keith, right now, and the truth is I wouldnât. When the word âYouâ leaves my lips, all the air in the room goes with it. My breath hitches in my throat as I wait for his reaction, but his furrowed brow just deepens.
His gaze dips to my mouth, lingering a beat longer than it should, and all the heat in my body rises to the surface. I canât deny Iâm attracted to himâespecially when heâs not being an ass.
Especially when heâs looking at me like he wants to understand everything about me.
