“I didn’t take you up there for that,” he says, eyeing me through his lashes. Is he too afraid to be vulnerable in front of me and say what he means? An uncertain smile edges onto his face. It’s so uncommon with Marek, I almost think I’m seeing things.
“It’s my fault. No matter how angry I am with you, it’s like I’m incapable of holding you accountable for the things you do.”
“Acknowledging you have a problem is half the battle,” he says, leaning over me to flip the lock to open. “You’re free to do whatever you want, Palmer.”
“That’s the problem, though, isn’t it? You’ve created this world where my freedom doesn’t belong to me, and now, it’s like my choices aren’t my own anymore.”
“I didn’t mean to.”
“But you did anyway.” I tug on the handle and open the door.
“So, what was that just now?” He glances over his shoulder. “You laying yourself out for me as a test or something?”
“That was me taking back a little bit of my control. I get to decide when and where. You look at me like I’m something to possess, but that needs to stop now.” I grab my bag off the seat and shut the door.
Marek rolls down the window. “Whether you believe it or not, I don’t want to possess you.”
“I’ll ask you again, what do you want to do with me, then?”
“Worship you.” The window rolls up, ending this conversation, and he drives away.
I’m left alone in the parking lot, wondering how he always manages to have the last delicious, mind-altering word.
