Give and Receive - Bundle (Books 1-2): New Adult Romance by Alisa Anderson

her I was with someone else. She didn’t take it too well, I guess.”
    “Jesus, Ty. Can’t you keep your dick in your pants for five minutes? Who was it this time? It had to be super bad for Sara to actually stay gone. That bitch stuck to you like Velcro.”
    “Wait…You’re not… jealous , are you?”
    “Um. Ok...no. I was concerned for her mental stability. Too much of you is never good for anyone.”
    Lena frowned as a piece of popcorn got stuck in her tooth. She worked it out with her finger, balancing the phone.
    “There’s no such thing as too much Ty.”
    “There is such a thing as too much Ty talking in the third person. Can he stop?”
    “Only if you tell him you love him.”
    “Isn’t that a given? You still live and walk amongst us. That’s a miracle in and of itself, Ty. Trust me. It is. And again, why did she dump your ass…again? Emphasis on the again part.”
    “First of all, she didn’t dump me. I stopped seeing her.”
    Ty sounded irritable.
    “Second, as I recall, we were talking about you and me.”
    “As I recall, there  is  no you and me. And for the record, we never had sex.  And , as I recall, I basically said the shit wasn’t gonna happen.”
    “Who exactly do you think I told her I was with?”
    “I’m sure I have no idea. Perhaps the bleach blonde salute to silicone, humping your leg at your last show. The one they had to pry off of you with a meat hook?”
    “You cared?”
    “I  noticed .”
    “Is there a difference?” Ty chuckled again.
    “Well...yes. I didn’t say I cared. I said I noticed. As in to perceive, or observe. Anyone within a five mile radius would notice. It was difficult not to, honey. Her pussy was on display for the entire world to see.”
    “Kind of like yours when I went down on you three months ago?”
    Lena choked on her popcorn, coughing violently.
    “Are you ok, love? Sounds like you got something caught in your throat there, missy. You know, you should be more careful about what you put in your mouth.”
    She would never be able to eat and drink properly around this man. It was damn near impossible. Dammit.
    Damn him to hell.
    Damn, damn,  damn .
    She grabbed her bottle of water on the nearby end table, taking a long drink. Letting the room temperature water soothe her irritated throat.
    “I abhor you, Ty. With the rage and fury of a thousand Hebrew slaves. I truly loathe you. And I wish you would go away.”
    “Uh huh. I love you too. And what good use of vocab. Now, are you done?”
    “No. But if I hang up on you, I could be.”
    “By the way, I haven’t been with anyone else.” Ty paused. “In case you’re wondering.”
    “Thanks for that. I’m good, though.”
    He laughed again. She wished he would stop and told him so. She put another handful of popcorn in her mouth, crunching loudly.
    “Do you have to sound like a barnyard animal, chewing hay?”
    “I think you have the wrong girl, my kind sir. That’s Lizzy’s department, isn’t it? Her and the rest of her cloven-hoofed, four-legged friends enjoy the delights of that tasty treat, don’t they?” Lena snorted.
    “Maybe it’s cud. What exactly do goats eat? I’ll have to check my  Farmer Iggy’s Animal Almanac . Doesn’t it say something like, sow in summer, seed in fall, feed your cow when the wheat gets tall? Never can be too sure.”
    “Why, Lena Roman.  Shame  on you. Talking about another woman that way. One would think you didn’t care for her.”
    “Who, me? The hell, you say, my good man. Bite your tongue. That she continues to draws breath is testament of my never-ending devotion to her.”
    “Don’t you mean your never-ending devotion to not going to prison? The place where girls like you become wives to women named Diesel, or Spike?”
    “Go to hell Tyler. That is a total fallacy.”
    “Is that so? Sure you wanna go that denial route, yet again? This is me you’re talking to. I’m the one you tried to bribe into emptying her gas tank and
