Chapter Fourteen

Kathryn

She was going to see a boy.

Perhaps that sounded a little eleventh grade of her, but when the situation was boiled down to the basics, that’s what it was. Callan had called, asked her to come over, and she’d said yes. Why she’d agreed still wasn’t entirely clear, besides a desire to see him, and the fact that he’d sounded rough. In pain, really, as if he’d been hurt.

He’d also said he’d needed her.

From her perspective, it was a remarkable turnaround, from first trying to ensure he never came around again, to then having him fix a thousand little things wrong with her house, followed up by kissing him. Now she was going to see him. At his house. In the evening. Kathryn wasn’t naïve; she knew what that might result in, though that was a whole new set of issues she had yet to deal with. Her scars were…extensive, and not the sort of thing she really felt sexy about. It was unlikely to happen anyway, she told herself. Callan had so far comported himself like a gentleman, and if she didn’t make it obvious, then it wasn’t likely to happen.

Probably.

The luxury SUV turned off the road and headed down a ramp to underground parking. She looked up, but hadn’t been paying attention to her surroundings and wasn’t sure which building they were at. Sinking back into the plush leather, she reminded herself that this was another example of why she was no longer in the eleventh grade.

The boy back then hadn’t sent a luxury vehicle to pick her up. It had been his mom’s beat-down minivan. With his mom driving.

Yeah, this was a little different. She giggled to herself at the idea of Callan sending his mom to get her. The driver glanced in the rearview, but she just waved him off, the imagery of that making her smile. It just went to show that no matter how old someone got, the prospect of attraction and flirtation, romance, desire, whatever you chose to name it, could still affect someone to their core.

The vehicle came to a halt before her thoughts could go any deeper, darker, or more lustful. After some help from the driver she got settled in her chair—that in itself killing any arousal she might have been feeling—and headed toward the elevator Callan had told her to take. She got in, punched in the code he’d provided, and then jumped slightly in surprise as the elevator doors closed swiftly and whisked her upward. This was no slow-moving cage, it moved, her stomach dropping slightly from the sudden g-forces.

A moment later it stopped, her stomach rebounding like elastic as the doors slid open in near-silence. Kathryn wheeled out of the tube, eyes wide as she took in everything. It wasn’t until a moment later that she realized the elevator opened into his apartment.

A private elevator? She was stunned. The white marble tones accentuated with silver and gold were everywhere, with various pieces of colored art and rugs breaking up the scheme just enough to make it feel homey instead of showroom.
