CHAPTER FOURTEEN

BRODY PACED FROM his kitchen to the living room, while keeping an eye on Cat. With her announcement, she’d lost the color in her face, and it had yet to come back. Additionally, there were now cars lining the street out front. Someone had revealed where she was living.

Of course, the reporters were watching her rental, not his house. And his blinds were now closed. They didn’t know to point their cameras thirty feet to the left.

After Cat had finished talking with her brother, her phone had immediately chimed again. She was perched stoically on the couch now, talking in monotones to her mother. Brody listened in, feeling like a spy. Cat didn’t know his connection to Thomas. If she did, she would not be so open in her conversations in front of him.

He currently had a front-row view to the plans being laid out on the Davenport side of this race, and if he were the wrong kind of person, he could use that to his brother’s benefit.

He knew Thomas would be keeping a close watch on every last move right now. And he knew Thomas would be calling again. In fact, he already had. Brody hadn’t answered.

Thomas was calling only for information, and Brody had no information to share.

“Of course they did this,” Cat said into the phone. “We already covered that.” She rose and moved to the front door, where she carefully peeked out the side window, and Brody couldn’t help but take in her trim legs coming out from under his Stonehenge Rocks T-shirt. He liked her being comfortable enough to wear his clothes.

“I had nothing to do with it.” Her voice rose, one hand flitting in the air as she paced back and forth in his foyer. “Who would I tell? Why would I tell anyone?”

She listened, and Brody wondered if her mother was explaining to her at that very moment exactly who he was. Because in Emma Davenport’s eyes, he was the enemy. Especially with this kind of news. There was an illegitimate Davenport son. That was explosive.

He really should tell Cat who he was.

He’d actually considered it for one brief moment outside. If she’d said yes to going out in public with him, he’d sworn to himself that he would tell her. They couldn’t be more than they were if she didn’t know his background. And he wanted to be more than they were. No matter that she had thrown their just-sex rule in his face. The way he saw it, that had been her way of fighting her own feelings.

So he’d fought back by pushing forward. He wanted to know all about her. He wanted her to know about him.

He wanted to see if they could go somewhere other than to bed.

But there remained the issue of her family standing between them. The importance of the Davenport name was a viable living entity in Cat’s world, and it probably always would be.

Which would never allow them to coexist.

Brody would have to be first in a woman’s life or he wouldn’t be in it at all.
