CHAPTER 7

Victoria’s heart was in her throat as she watched him walk toward the door. “Brad?” Her voice cracked.

He stopped and turned back to her. “Yeah?”

Her heart raced and her stomach knotted into a bundle of nerves. She was about to ask one of those questions she probably didn’t want to know the answer to, but she had to ask anyway. “Did you mean it?”

He lifted an eyebrow.

“What you said about me staying?”

She watched him hesitate for a moment and she knew then he didn’t. His words were just noise. The look he gave, the moment of hesitation, she could only assume he really didn’t want her to stay, at least not for the right reasons. He wanted her to stay so he could remain one step ahead, have a firm grasp on the situation and keep her in control of when and how she conducted her daily schedule. She should’ve known better than to think Brad could be so forgiving when it had been so hard for him to give his trust in the first place.

“Oh, baby.” Walking up to her, he placed his hands on either side of her neck and rested his forehead to hers. “Right now it seems like everything is going to shit, and I have some serious damage control to do before Peyton catches wind of any of this.” He pressed his lips to hers and her eyes fluttered closed, praying she was wrong about him. “If you leave here, leave me, then what the hell am I fighting so hard for?” He caressed her cheeks and smiled. “I’m strong, Victoria, but I know I’m not strong enough to survive you walking out on me.”

Her breath caught as she stared into his eyes. There was so much truth and sincerity and vulnerability there. As she looked into those deep and dark sexy eyes, she wanted to believe him. She really did. She put her arms around his neck and hugged him, sighing contentedly when he wrapped his arms around her back and pulled her tight. “I’m sorry.”

“I know.” He slid his hands down her back and grabbed her ass, yanking her against his pelvis. “Don’t worry. You can make it up to me later.”

His tone was suggestive and held a world of promise. There was no mistaking what he meant, and that settled her worries. She felt foolish for not having the confidence to believe she was worthy of his love, but her past experiences didn’t allow her to have the courage she knew she needed right now.

“Now,” he released her and took her hand, lacing their fingers, “let’s go talk to Philip and figure out what the hell is going on.”

Victoria gave his hand a squeeze and smiled. “It’s you and me against her.”

He laughed. “It’s you and me. You got that right. But let me fight her.” He winked and led her downstairs to where Philip and the rest of the team had converged.

Before they entered Brad’s home office, he stopped and pulled Victoria into his arms, pressing his lips to hers.
