Chapter Seven

“You fool!”

Morgan closed his eyes, knowing this damned headache was never going to leave him. And by headache he meant his mother¸ not just the pounding in his temples. No amount of aspirin would shut the woman up. If he hung up, his assistant would be made to suffer. Worse, his mother would probably show up at his office once she got tired of being ignored over the phone. There were only a few things worse than a dressing down from a sixty-year-old woman in his place of business.

“What can I do for you, mother?”

“You know what you can do; you can go apologize to Heather right this very minute.”

“And why would I do that?” He set his phone on his shoulder and got back to work on the documents in front of him. Just because his mother thought it was time to yell at him and call him a poor excuse for a son, didn’t mean he could drop everything in order to make it happen.

Letting her yell over the phone while he barely listened seemed like the better idea. She used to drop by almost daily until he’d gotten firm with her. That had been a decade ago and, at least according to his associates, she’d only become scarier.

“Like I said, you’re a fool. You’re letting a perfectly good woman slip through your fingers because you can’t keep your wick out of the wax.”

He blinked. Huh, he wasn’t sure he’d ever heard that one before. “I’m not dating Heather. The three of us knew that when I agreed to take her to the gala. In fact, I technically didn’t take her. You did. I merely showed up to let her prance around me for a few hours.” He winced. Now he was sounding like a cruel bastard. As much as he might not like Heather and her friends, being petty wasn’t something he liked to do.

“She is the one you need to marry. I need heirs.”

His mother would have been a perfect society mother in regency England. However, this was not that time and he was tired of her games.

“You have heirs. Lots of them. Or did you forget your daughters’ children.”

She huffed. “Spoiled little brats. That’s what they are.”

Well, he couldn’t argue with her there. “I’m not marrying or having children with a woman you provide me. You haven’t found a way to make me do it yet and you won’t any time soon.” Saying yes to Heather had been an idiotic move, but he wouldn’t let it stop him from his goal.

Callie.

He could still scent her on him even though he’d showered twice since the night prior. They’d merely kissed and yet he couldn’t get her out of his mind. Damn he couldn’t wait to see her again.

“She is too young for you, Morgan,” his mother said calmly. That didn’t bode well. Whenever she was calm, that meant she was planning something that was sure to bite him in the ass later.

“She is not of your concern.
