Chapter Six

Sophie

The conversation was surprisingly easy and the food tasty, but as she swallowed down the third bite of her turkey sandwich, all Sophie could think about was the look in Jared’s eyes.

She knew that look. She’d seen it before, and she knew what it meant.

He was enjoying himself, steering her and paying lip service to the things she had asked, and still, she could feel the tables turning. She sensed him taking back control, and the worst of it was, she didn’t even think she cared. It should be fundamentally disconcerting to cede power to a man who had previously ruled with coercion and manipulation. So, why wasn’t Sophie running from the café?

Why had she come at all?

“So,” he paused, the deep timbre of his voice breaking her train of thought. “Have you thought about me since we met last week?”

Sophie reached for her teacup, wrapping her hand around the warm ceramic.

“Of course, I have.”

Bloody hell, aside from the kids, she’d barely thought of anything else.

“That’s why I’m here, Jared.” Daddy.

She inhaled, aware of how close she had been to adding that final word.

“I thought about you, too.” Jared put his chicken wrap down on his plate. “I think about you all the time, Sophie.”

Those devastating blue eyes seared into her, burning through her camisole top and branding her flesh. At least that’s how it felt as she flicked her hair over her shoulder.

“Your hair has grown.” He smiled at the observation. “I like it.”

Sophie ran her fingers through her tresses. “Yeah, I’ve meant to get it cut, but I never got around to it.”

“Don’t.” His tone was soft as he leaned closer across the small table, but it was a command, no doubt about it.

“I mean, it suits you, that’s all.” He chuckled at his own conciliatory tone, and for a brief moment, he almost looked embarrassed.

Her lips curled. He was doing it again—resuming influence over her—and she should absolutely resent it, yet as Jared fumbled to find the equilibrium between them, she was conscious of how her body responded to his authority. Squirming in her seat, she knew there was arousal pooling at her sex.

She liked it.

Sophie liked it a lot.

And that was the reason she was here.

It was also the reason she’d dreamed about Jared for months and why no amount of counseling was ever going to resolve things in her head.

She needed this in her life.

She wasn’t sure why, but she did.

Someone to take control of certain aspects. Someone to be in charge. It was just, in the tsunami of Jared, Sophie had been swept away entirely, and for a while, she almost lost herself.

She couldn’t let that happen again.

“Thank you.” She ran her finger over the remainder of her sandwich. “I can leave it long… if you prefer?”

Jared grinned, his natural ease recovering in a matter of seconds.

“I prefer, but… it’s not my place to tell you how to wear your hair.”

“I remember when you did.” She lowered her gaze, hardly believing what she’d just said until the words registered in her brain.
