Chapter Nine

Drake

“Jesus, Tristan, well done. I didn’t know you were married.”

He laughed. I’d never seen him not trying to take control of a conversation before. “Not married,” he said. “We just met.”

I knew he wasn’t married to the girl, but that was the only way I knew to get him to divulge exactly what his relationship with her was about. Hell, I felt like I’d just been hit by Johnson again and was still recovering. I wasn’t even sure I was talking out loud. “She’s amazing. Have you ever met anyone that smoking hot before?”

“Nope.”

“She actually knows how to have a conversation, too. Doesn’t make a guy do all the fucking work.”

“You’ve got her pegged, Drake.”

That got my attention back to the here and now. I wanted to get pissed again. Everything had gone the way I intended. But now here I was, obviously hitting on someone who he might have had his eye on right after threatening to take my business to his biggest competitor, and I just couldn’t work up the steam. He was talking, but I wasn’t listening. Something about him working on a relationship with her and that she knew sports so well because she’d grown up with three brothers and her dad. I wasn’t sure, but he might have even come right out and said, “She’s off the table.”

I decided to change the subject and get right back to business. “Look, I’m meeting who I’m meeting, and I am leaving all options open. Everything is up for discussion.”

I meant to put the fear of God into him, but something about what I said actually seemed to make him perk up. I wasn’t thinking clearly. After that night with Jennifer, I had been down. It’s not that I thought there was going to be anything real with her, but I realized something real was, for the first time, what I really wanted. When Peyton Worth was standing in that outer office, it was a new experience for me. It was like the light in the rest of the room dimmed compared to her. She was standing there, and I sucked in my breath and swore I was seeing a human being shine. She was that gorgeous and there was just something about her.

I had never been the kind of guy to move in on another man’s woman. But she wasn’t acting taken. And the first thing he said was they weren’t married, and they had just met. After that, anything he’d tried to add was too late in my book. So I told him every damn thing was on the table, and I guess what he heard was I might be taking a shot at Peyton, but I definitely hadn’t made up my mind to leave him yet. That was true, too. I didn’t mean to let him off the hook, but he knew he still had a shot to keep me around. I thought, What the hell? My poor negotiating technique aside, it was only fair.
