Khalida rolls her eyes. “Because you broke the promise. Don’t break this one and you’ll be home free.” She sighs. “Although Shay might have overreacted a little. I tried to get him to stop... stubborn men.”
The color on Layla’s face ebbs a little and she sighs softly in relief when he doesn’t ask to see the tattoo and she tilts her head. “I suppose so.”
Khalida blushes faintly and frowns. “Your not going to let this go are you? Fine. I.. I was going to say that I’m in love with you. In fact I’ve fallen for you so much it scares me. Happy?”
Layla blushes and sighs. “I think I might have an idea of what it means. I just.. don’t want to jump to conclusions.” She clears her throat and continues to massage his leg. She bites the inside of her cheek when her hand is on his thigh right under his hip.
