Chapter 107

“If they’d hoped at one time that you and Kendra might get together—”

He snorted. “That was never going to happen.”

“But you knew her.”

“I did.”

Tessa tried not to be hurt that he wasn’t forthcoming. After all, they weren’t a couple; his past was none of her business. But she didn’t like him being tight-lipped. Was he ashamed of something? Or did he not trust her? “Look, it’s none of my business, but—”

“My father was fucking Kendra, okay? The summer after I turned sixteen, I caught them together. In bed.”

“Oh, my god.” She gaped. “But Kendra is your age…”

“A year younger, actually.”

His father had been having sex with his friend’s fifteen-year-old daughter? “What did you do?”

“If you’re asking me whether I told anyone, I didn’t. No one would have believed me. When I asked Kendra what the hell was going on, she told me she’d wanted better sex than her bumbling boyfriend could give her and that my dad was very accommodating.”
