Chapter 8

“Babe?” Bailey looked at her with one eyebrow cocked high, appearing more than a little jealous.

“My ex-husband who never could remember my name,” Eden explained before moving toward the front of her shop. There was no way Wade was getting farther into the store than he already stood. She would die or go to jail first.

She stopped several feet away from him but positioned so that he would have a hard time getting past her. “What do you want, Wade?”

Instead of answering, Wade closed the distance between them and pulled her against his chest for a hug. The scent of alcohol and cigarettes surrounded her, making her gag. He had been drinking again. She would have thought two DUIs would have taught him that he and alcohol should not share the same space at the same time.

She heard a low rumbling growl behind her, and her insides warmed knowing that for once she was not facing her ex-husband alone.

Maybe now she could make Wade understand what she had told him time and again since she had moved out. She wanted nothing to do with him and did not owe him anything, now or at any time in the future. All at once, the anger toward him that she usually kept tightly caged broke free. She could do whatever it took to get Wade out of her life once and for all.

When he tilted his hips forward, pressing his erect cock against her, she shifted her weight to her left leg. As usual, Wade wrongly interpreted her actions, misreading defensive preparation as interest. When he slid his hands down her back to cover her ass, she slammed her right leg up between his, catching him full force in the groin.

As she lowered her leg, she took a step back and easily broke away. As she continued to retreat, he made a strangled sound and collapsed, curling into a fetal position on the floor, gasping for air. She hoped he did not throw up or piss himself as she did not want to have to clean up the mess. This was her fight, and she would come out the victor.

“What the fuck?” he asked nearly three minutes later as he slowly climbed to his feet. “Why the hell did you do that?”

Her anger still racing through her bloodstream, Eden growled then took a deep breath to calm herself. Otherwise she might have kicked him again.

“I don’t like to be touched by drunks who don’t listen. Now what the fuck do you want, Wade?” she asked through teeth clenched tight together.

Wade ignored her insult. “What am I supposed to do when you won’t answer your phone or respond to text messages or e-mails? Why are you ignoring me? I thought we were friends.”

Eden had to take two more steps back to keep from jumping on him and beating him to death. Turning away, she tried to figure out how he made it sound like he was the injured party here.

Bailey shifted and drew her attention.
