Chapter 66
I was drumming impatiently on the steering wheel, trying to suppress my anger. Beatrice noticed me. She keeps on glancing in my direction. The taut lines on my face are a clear sign that I wasn’t happy. The tension was waving at Beatrice, feeling it.
“I hate driving in heavy traffic, too. You can’t wonder that road rage happens.”
Her soft, contralto voice dragged me free of my dark reflections. I turned my head and felt something squeeze tight in my chest as I read the sympathy on her face and all my submerged protective instincts rose to the surface.
“I do not feel rage towards the road.” Just every person who has ever hurt you. “But you still carry on work

I lagged a little behind as I follow Preston into the building. We had crossed the foyer and entered an elevator before my preoccupied brain made a fairly obvious leap. “This is not a restaurant.” I blurted out. As I speak the glass door closed with a silent swish and the elevator rose silently. I am not fond of heights, so I didn’t take the opportunity to look down into the greenly filled atrium down below. “Smart and beautiful.” He murmured. I just rolled my eyeballs. I need to look away from him and stare at my reflection in the mirror. Am I really beautiful? I had a classic English-rose beauty

I am not interested in him! My mind says, but my friend says differently. Jonathan arched a brow. “You have an interest in this guy, and you became judgmental, which isn’t like you.” “I’m not—” innately honest. I could not complete the sentence. “Well, Preston can be pretty judgmental himself.” And with an awful lot less cause! I recalled his lecture on the last occasion we had met, despite the fact that I had been the victim of an unwanted pass and he had treated me like some sort of tart. “Really? That sounds interesting.” “well, it wasn’t,”

Preston’s I looked at her mouth and felt the desire in my veins burn hotter as I thought to myself that today would not be soon enough for me. I had always prided myself on my ability to keep my libido on a leash. There had only ever been one woman who had breached my defenses, and she was standing here now, standing here wanting me as much as I did to her, so I was damned if I was going to deprive myself of the unspoken invitation that glowed in her incredible amber eyes when she looked at me. A nerve clenched in my cheek as a mask of composure threatened to slip. The scorching sexual tension between us was stronger than anything I had ever experienced in my life—and she had to be feeli

I was still hesitant to move and follow him, unable to shake the irrational conviction that by stepping over the threshold, I do believe that I’ll be committed to more than breakfast, which I wasn’t, but what if he thought…? What if he had more planned than breakfast? I had no doubt that he took sex as casually as he kissed. How was he to know I didn’t? All I knew was that I was here for breakfast, but who was to say he did? He might assume that I knew breakfast was some sort of code of sex. “We could do the restaurant option if you prefer. You did say you looked too much of a mess to be seen any

Beatrice jumped, startled by the loud clatter that came from the kitchen area. Came from me. “Sorry I dropped it,” I said, putting the stainless implement I had just picked up off the floor into the dishwasher. A hard light of steely determination shone in my eyes as I began to whip the egg whites. It was my intention to drop the bowl so that Beatrice would stop smiling dreamily when she thought about her ex, that she even forgets that I even existed! “It’s okay, sorry. It seems I drifted off.” She said. Yeah, feel sorry that you forgot about me. What’s special about that man? He is just a m

“I really wouldn’t know. I don’t…” “What? You never let that lovely hair down and throw caution to the wind? Some men could view a statement like that as a challenge.” “Certainly, I let my hair down, but only with people I trust.” “You think I would take advantage?” I sighed inwardly. She was right. “I’m not really interested in finding out.” She said. Her declaration of indifference drew a low chuckle from me. When she hears the sound of my laughter, she looked away and

“Did you really want to save?” I was dumbfounded at his question. The scorn and aristocratic disdain etched on his patrician features made me cringe. I felt crushed by his scorn. It was bad enough that the man I had right now, is the only man that I had a crush on since I was a kid and he had witnessed the grubby sordid scene, but that he could think I had wanted… If I could have crawled out of my skin at that moment or allowed the earth to swallow me whole I would have. I stuttered in my eagerness to correct him. “No… no, that is, yes, you can’t think that I wanted… Of course, I—” “You were a fool.”

He dragged a hand down in his jaw and expelled an irritated-sounding sigh. “I was angry that night.” He had been angry that entire weekend, from the moment I had walked into the room the previous evening smelling like summer looking like warm, inviting sin, looking as if I were made for him. The forced admission made me laugh. “I’d never have guessed.” Even now, the memory of his loss of control shook the hell out of me. “The situation was…” I angled an interrogative brow as his voice trailed away to a growl. “I did not handle the situation well.” He admitted.
