“You promise?”
“Have I ever lied to you?” His question seems to have a double meaning, as if I’ve somehow lied to him when I haven’t. And he needs to know and believe I never would.
“No. You haven’t.” At least I hope he hasn’t. Even with the issue of Alexis hanging over my heart, we still have to deal with what happened between Johan and me. That’s a priority, but I can’t help the gnawing fear clawing at my insides.
He tilts his head. “And I’m not going to start now.”
“Did you sleep with Alexis?” I ask, not capable of waiting until we’re done eating to ask.
He sighs and presses his thumb and forefinger into his temples. “I thought we were going to wait until after we ate and were in bed to talk.”
My throat goes dry, but I scratch out the single plea. “I have to know.”
He shakes his head. “No, I didn’t sleep with her. Now eat your burger. I fear it’s going to be a long night.”
“As long as I know at the end of this we’re still together. Can you promise that?” A tear slips down my cheek, and my heart pounds. Goose bumps rise on my flesh, and I wish we were already in bed, that his arms were cradling me in the safety of his embrace. “Parker . . .” The word comes out as a choked cry.
He lifts his face, and his baby-blue gaze locks onto mine. “I don’t know what the future holds, Sky, but I know I want you in mine.”
The end . . . for now.
