Chapter Three

Watching Candace’s shapely body as she stalked toward the same chair, Reece decided it was time. Time to cut to the chase and put all of his cards on the table. What was the worst thing that could happen? He’d spent time getting settled into the job, establishing himself and finding out everything about Candace that he could after she’d put him in his place that day in her shop. Watched her continue to make a place for herself in Barrister while remaining aloof and separate, most likely still as alone as ever, and lonely. She’d only ever had Sinclair Renton to call friend, and Sinclair had been away at school for years. Despite how she pretended he no longer existed, Reece hurt for Candace. She’d changed, but some things remained the same.

Buying a little more time, he went into the kitchen and picked out another beer for himself and a Cherry Coke for her. The surprise on her face was quickly wiped away, as he set it down with a smile. He’d forgotten nothing about her.

Taking his own seat, he took a swig and put the bottle down. When she finally met his gaze, he spoke. “I came back to Barrister for you.”

Blue eyes suddenly appearing too big for her face, Candace paled and flinched back. A tiny shake of her head appeared to be her only response.

“Put my time in, came home. It was never my career choice, but served me well, got me this job. But I was coming anyhow, if just to find out why you reacted the way you did. Knew you never married, weren’t serious about anyone people could tell, so I figured—”

Her thin response was like a slice of pain, and he wasn’t sure who it cut deeper. “You arrogant prick.”

She jumped to her feet, and all of that cool, aloof demeanor fell away. Fists clenching, she spoke further through gritted teeth. “You kept tabs on me? Thought I was so hard up you’d waltz back in and pick up where you left off? You get updates about this…” Gesturing at her body, she tossed her head, and her hair mussed further. His body responded to her obvious fury, a major turn-on.

Visibly swallowing, she then took a breath, so deep her breasts heaved. Despite the less revealing shirt she now wore, Reece couldn’t help but admire their roundness and obvious heft as they moved freely beneath the material. But he was quickly distracted by her continuing tirade. Her words packed a solid punch to his gut. The pain and anger unleashed then flayed him.

“And if I’d let myself go? Eaten myself into oblivion? Wasn’t the same naïve girl you fucked and so kindly relieved of her virginity? What then? Or would my daddy’s money make up for it?” Her full lips were set in a sneer, the ugly move belied by a faint tremble.

“Fuck me, Candace! I loved you. I told you why I had to go. Your daddy’s money has nothing to do with anything.
