“Are you threatening to destroy my relationship with Larissa?”

“No, I won’t have to. I think you’re going to sink your own battleship.”

Kendra walked to the kitchen, where she washed the wine glass then placed it to the side.

“Kendra …” Moon rose to his feet when he saw Kendra start around the counter, about to leave. “I know how to protect my young, too. You would be wise not to underestimate me.” Moon saluted her with the beer bottle then lifted it to his lips.

Kendra halted in place, giving him a small nod. “Don’t worry; I won’t.”

CHAPTER SIXTY-TWO

Unable to take watching another episode of Love on the Rocks, Larissa turned the television off. As she stared around the clean living room she had dusted and mopped that morning, she was at a loss as to what to do next. After going on a cleaning spurt for the last couple of days, there was nothing left to do.

Drumming her fingers on the arm of the couch, she debated working on the mound of paperwork on the table. Nah … she preferred to work on that in the early evenings.

She got up and wandered through the house, trying to find something to do. You could have gone to lunch and movie with Mom, Lana, and Priss, she reminded herself. But she’d turned down the invitation, because she had looked forward to some me time. Moon would be at work during the day, and her mother would be out of the house, giving her free reign to do whatever she wanted to do.

When she found herself back in the living room without anything to do, she went into the garage. Disappointed, she was about to give up when her eyes settled on the car. Both Moon’s car and hers could use a washing.

Happy, she gathered everything she would need then opened the garage door, Backed both cars out, then got busy.

After cleaning the inside of Moon’s car first, she switched to hers. Of the two, hers needed cleaning the most. She didn’t know why he owned a car, anyway. Unless they went somewhere to together, his main mode of transportation was his motorcycle.

A couple of times, she had asked if they could take his motorcycle when they went out, to which he had used the excuse of her being pregnant but promised to take her for a ride once the baby was born. It was one of the things she was looking forward to the most, ranking higher than the baby no longer being wrapped around her bladder.

Humming, she crawled out of the back seat of her car. She brushed her sweat-dampened bangs away from her eyes and pressed a hand to the middle of her back. Thank goodness she was wearing a pair of blue jean shorts and a tank top which Killyama had given her that read “Mama Knows Best.”

She went to the spigot at the side of the garage to turned on the water hose. After wetting each car, she turned the water off, dipped her mitt into the soapy water she had prepared, and then started scrubbing Moon’s car.

As she sang along with the music coming from the radio in the garage, it didn’t take long before she moved on to her car. With her back to the road, she heard a motorcycle coming down the street. She must have been outside longer than she supposed for Moon to be coming home.

She leaned over the trunk to reach a couple of twigs that must have blown down, then turned to greet Moon when his bike pulled up next to the car.

As he turned his motorcycle off, she said, “Hi, I didn’t realize it was getting so late—”

“What in the fuck do you think you’re doing?” He didn’t let her finish her sentence.

Larissa frowned at him. “I’m washing the cars.”

“Your mother and sisters have been calling you. I called. Why didn’t you answer the fucking phone?”

“I must have left my cell phone inside.”

Moon was too angry to care about her excuse. “They’re worried sick.”

Larissa straightened off the car as Moon took out his cell phone.

“She’s fine. She was outside. There’s no need for you to come. I’m here. I took off the rest of the day.”

Feeling bad that Moon had left early. she started to apologize when he ended the call. “I’m sor—”

“If you wanted your car washed so damn badly, why didn’t you just ask me? Or did you just need an excuse to show your ass to everyone in the neighborhood?”

Disconcerted, it took a couple of minutes for her to gather her scattered wits.

Jutting her chin angrily, she raised herself to her full height. “Don’t you ever dare to speak to me in that tone again.” She was unaware that her plain features had taken on a rosy glow, turning her eyes into a magnificent shade of golden brown that gave her a beauty normally not witnessed by others around her. “I didn’t ask you to wash them because you work constantly, and I didn’t want you to have to spend your only day off washing the cars.”
