Chapter Seven

Chey was so mad at the world that she didn’t dare go home. One look at her sofa where she and Storm had made love, and she’d crumble. His scent, though faint, would still be lingering in her house, on her sheets, in her mind. Damn Chuck Lord.

She pressed hard on the accelerator, tears blurring her vision. She had to make Storm understand what he meant to her. A horn blared and her heart nearly jumped out of her chest, causing her to slam on her brakes and pull over to the side. Holy shit. She’d just crossed an intersection without stopping. She had to calm down.

Nabbing a tissue from her purse, she dabbed her eyes and blew her nose. When her pulse slowed, she looked behind her before getting back on the road.

Whether it was planned or not, she ended up going toward Autumn Avenue where Tasha lived. Her friend worked Saturday until noon and would hopefully be home by now. When Chey spotted Tasha’s car in the drive, a bit of the tension in her shoulders eased. Chey probably should drive to the mountains and go for a run, but talking it out with clear-thinking Tasha would help her get through this fucking mess a lot better.

She didn’t even have to knock, because Tasha threw open the front door. “Come in. I’m sorry.”

She stepped in. “You heard?” Only minutes had passed.

“Yeah. You know the shifter grapevine. Chuck bragged about it on Facebook.”

A hot knife pierced her heart, and it was an imaginary Chuck who was grinning down at her, twisting the handle. “That fucker.”

“Sit down, and I’ll get us some wine.”

“I’d rather have coffee.”

Tasha’s brows rose. “I’ll put on a pot.”

Chey wasn’t sure how she’d ever be able to show her face in town again. Everyone would think she was either a slut or a cheat. Christ, this was bad. She checked her phone expecting a text from Dad, but so far he hadn’t contacted her. She was sure he’d ask for a full apology in front of the whole Clan, but if she did that, some of the women might demand her isolation, or worse, take a swipe at her. Chey shivered.

“Here ya go, sweetie. This will warm you up.”

“Thanks.” Chey grabbed the cup but it was still steaming hot—just like her.

Tasha sat across from her. “Tell me what happened.”

Chey detailed the horse ride, the picnic, and the hot sex.

“Sounds like Storm is amazing.”

She sighed. “Yes, he is. The problem is that I’m falling in love with him.”

Her friend stilled. “Oh, Chey, that wasn’t part of the plan.”

She leaned back. “I know. After what Chuck did, I doubly know nothing can come of it. It’s not like I’m officially engaged since Dad gave me till August to find someone, but Chuck’s pronouncement will kill any chance of me finding someone else.” Her chin wobbled.

Tasha set down her cup, came over to her, and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “You need to talk with him.”

“Storm or Chuck?”

“Storm, of course, but give him a few hours to stew.
