Chapter 13

‡

Cal was sweating with anger by the time he got into the truck. Eating his feelings cost him more in the long run than finding some release for it. His counselor had encouraged him not to hold so much back, but he be damned if he’d blow up in front of Kathleen and destroy the tentative relationship they were stumbling toward.

That moment in the elevator had been perfect. Until that fucker Warren bulldozed up and ruined it.

The idea of Kathleen putting him in the position of hiding behind a woman’s skirts still stung. He didn’t need to be protected from shit. He’d by God faced down Taliban fuckers. He’d faced death and survived.

She’d kept him from punching that asshole, which was probably a good thing. He’d have wiped the floor with his pansy ass.

And if he’d gone to jail for it, it would have been worth it.

And what the fuck was Warren doing harassing Kathleen? That was some creepy shit. She needed to file a complaint with the company and nip that shit in the bud.

Jesus, he needed to calm down and throw off this anger. He didn’t need to be in a room with Kathleen when he was worked up like this. He’d end up saying something that would ruin everything between them.

While he drove, he practiced some of his breathing techniques to get his heart rate down and leach away his anger.

By the time they turned onto his street, he was calmed down and his thoughts had turned to Kathleen. He’d called her on the promise remark. He’d follow through if she wanted him. He certainly wanted her. Jesus, not just wanted.

He was feeling more in control when he pulled into the parking lot next to his apartment. He slid out of his truck and sauntered up to meet Kathleen as she got out of her car. He smiled when he saw soft color tinting her cheeks.

He watched the rounded curve of her ass as she climbed the stairs, and whipped out his door key before he reached the landing.

“Would you like something to drink?” he asked as he closed the door behind them.

“A bottle of water if you have it.”

“Cold?” he asked as she followed him into the kitchen. When she nodded, he pulled a bottle from the refrigerator. He leaned back against the counter and offered it to her. “Why didn’t you tell me Warren was harassing you?”

“Because it’s easy to misinterpret a word or a gesture, and I want to be sure I’ve got him pegged right before I do that. He made himself scarce this week until this blowup today, so I was hoping I’d misread him.”

He rubbed a hand over his face. The fact she had to deal with Warren at all made his anger simmer again.

“You don’t need to deal with him. You need to file a grievance against him tomorrow.”

She propped her hand on her hip, the gesture full of attitude. “He’s been riding you longer than he has me. Are you going to file your grievance?”

Her choice of words brought a flush to his cheeks.
