Page 83 of Reaper's Rival

“What?” I took the piece of paper off her that she had just slapped me with. “Why would we be spending the day together?”

“Because you’re my sister.”

“Last time I checked, we weren’t talking.” I frowned at her. What was with her sudden change of attitude? ‘

“Yeah, I’m fixing that starting today.” Kim looked over my shoulder. “Morning, Reaper.”

I opened the door fully, seeing as she had already seen him. “Fine, what time do we leave?”

“In an hour. So get dressed. Maybe in something that Reaper hasn’t worn.” Kim gave me a wink. “By the way, I prefer him over Daniels. And I’m going to be telling you all about that at the spa.”

I rolled my eyes. “Yes, Kim.”

“I’ll see you downstairs in an hour.” Kim smiled. “Now hurry your ass up and get dressed.”

I closed the door. I guess a day at a spa wouldn’t kill me. But I really didn’t feel like going. Kim was going to question me. And now she had seen Reaper in my bed, she would think I’m finished with Daniels. I guess I would be this time next weekend.

“You alright?”

I looked up from the floor, seeing Reaper pull himself up in bed.

“Yeah, I’m fine.”

“You got a headache?”

“Um yeah, but I guess I deserve that.” I walked toward him, stopping at his side of the bed. “Sorry about last night.” I didn’t think there were words for how sorry I was. “I kind of broke down.” I was so embarrassed of how I reacted last night, and it was showing on my face right now. “You should have left me.” I remember clearly asking him to leave. But when he hadn’t, I had never been more relieved. I was a wreck last night and still didn’t feel like I had recovered.

Reaper threw the blankets back, getting up and standing in front of me. I stared down at his feet.

“Abby, we need to talk.”

“Trust me, I have nothing you want to hear.”

His hands cupped my face and lifted my head up. “After last night, you have to tell me what’s going on. And you are ending it with Daniels. I’m spending the rest of my life with you, and I’m bringing this baby up with you. You hear me, Abby? You and Daniels are over. If you don’t end it. I’ll end him.”

“I don’t need you killing him.”

“But I will. If you don’t end it.” Reaper’s voice didn’t even shake as he said it. Like taking Daniels’ life is exactly what he wanted to do. “So you going to end it? Before or after you tell me what it is you’ve been doing.”

“I can’t tell you.” I looked into his deep dark eyes. God, they were soul-sucking. Pulling me in. “You won’t believe me anyway.”

“Try me.”

Could I be honest with him? I opened my mouth. Where would I even begin? I needed Daniels for another week. I had to be with him for one more week. I was so close to this being over with.

“Give me a week,” I stuttered out. “Then I’ll tell you everything.”

“No. Not happening. You are telling me now.” Reaper wasn’t letting me budge. “You’re going to tell me why you were soaked with blood last night, and I swear if you tell me that Daniels forced you to do something, then he’s dead.”

“Reaper.” I pushed out of his grip. This was exactly what I didn’t want. Maybe I could never tell him the truth. “I need to get dressed.”

“Nah, don’t even think you are getting away from me that easy.”

Reaper followed me into the wardrobe. I ripped his shirt off and threw it at him. I was getting my jeans off the hanger when his hands wrapped around my stomach and he pulled me to his chest.

“You going to tell me now or later?” His hands cradled my stomach and he kissed my shoulder. “Come Abby, I told you there is nothing you can say that will scare me away.”

“Once I tell you, you won’t want me to be the mother of your child and this,” I turned in his arms, his hands going to my lower back, “will end.” I had already come to terms with it. Reaper and I weren’t going to be together. Hell, no one would want to be with me once they knew the truth. I was a killer, plain and simple.
