Chapter Six
Am I hearing this right? Marriage? To a man I’ve not seen in years for no other reason than he fucked me in the laundry room?
Mrs. Meyers’ blue gaze homed in on her like an eagle on a mouse. Sissy gulped and tried not to show the incredible panic that coursed through her. Heart thundering in her chest, she swore if God could have her waking to find this nothing but a dream—or nightmare—she’d be forever grateful.
Of course, my luck doesn’t work that way.
Mrs. Meyers ran her gaze over them both, from the way Joe clasped her hand to the way Sissy stood tense and embarrassed.
“Compromised?”
Oh, what sweet hell this is. Do I truly have to go through this?
“Yes,” Joe replied right away. “Plus, I’ve been to her place a time or two. I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors around town. I don’t want to ruin her or Taylor’s good name.”
It is official, I’m going to kill him.
“This isn’t necessary,” she began trying again to free her hand from his grip. Again unsuccessful.
“Mom!” Taylor called from upstairs.
What is he even doing up there? He knows he’s not supposed to go up there. Not to mention he is supposed to be out with Mary. What kind of mother doesn’t know her son returned? Oh, right, the kind fucking the boss’ son in the laundry room. Me.
Could her mortification get any worse? Her son knew better than this. Truly, he did.
“Taylor,” she snapped, feeling her world crumble around her.
“Mr. Meyers would like some water.”
All three of them paused then headed up the stairs, hurrying to get to his side. She held Taylor to her and watched Mrs. Meyers and Joe surround the bed and begin talking in low tones to the man lying there.
While she was thrilled he had spoken, this wasn’t time for her to be there. She edged to the doorway, keeping Taylor moving with her step for step. Determined right now to get as far away as she could.
Thankfully her son didn’t argue and walked with her. As her feet hit the polished wood of the first floor, she gazed about for her jacket, then decided to hell with it. Get away was the mantra running through her head.
She led Taylor to her older model Civic and waited for her son to buckle himself into the seat. Her own belt fastened, she started the engine and drove them away.
“Did I do something wrong, Mom? I know I wasn’t supposed to be up there but I heard him and no one else was around because Ms. Mary was out at her truck putting something away.”
She reached over the gearshift and patted his leg. “I’m sorry. It was my fault for not being within hearing distance.” I was too busy fucking his son to hear Mr. Meyers call for help.
Okay, so she may not have been able to hear him back in the laundry room. However, had the door been open there was a much greater chance she would have had the opportunity to do so.
