Chapter Fourteen

Sam

As I lay tossing in my bed. I couldn’t get the taste of Talia’s mouth or the feel of her body against mine out of my head. I couldn’t stop thinking about her sexy scent, or the seductive voice that sings like music in my ears. Oh, I’ve had my interests and my crushes, but this all consuming interest in a woman is not me. It takes all my willpower not to go to Talia’s room and throw myself and my heart upon her mercy. I have it bad for Talia Winton, and it is glorious and terrifying at the same time.

I heard Lucius enter the suite. It had to be him because my father was in his room drinking my bourbon and no one else had a key to the suite. The loud clink of his keys and plop of his wallet on the tablet by the door made me suspect that he wanted me to know he’d arrived. But my brother was the last person I wanted to speak to.

I hadn’t expected Lucius tonight, and I was not ready to face him. That he’d arrived early shouldn’t have surprised me, because he’d spent three days away from Talia and I didn’t know how he could stand it. If Talia were mine, I wouldn’t stay away from her for a single day. And this thought alone is enough drive me over the deep end. I’ve lusted for women before, but this is beyond an over-the-top, take-no-prisoners passion that consumes me.

When Talia had stood close to me in this suite, I’d lost it. If she hadn’t had enough sense for the both of us I would have taken her into my bedroom regardless of the circumstances. In the haze my ache for Talia, I hadn’t cared a damn bit about my brother, my position in the company, or how I would soon blow apart the reputation I’d worked so very hard to build.

I’m a smart man, but all these things churning in my gut are beyond parsing. It’s not easy to grow up in the shadow of an irresponsible scoundrel like my brother. He was such an obvious disappointment to my father that I never dared do a single to mirror Lucius’s behavior. Plus, the family watched me like a hawk to make sure I didn’t take after him. If I strayed a single millimeter from the straight and narrow, I would catch the brunt of unfavorable opinions.

Because Lucius did not care what other people thought, no one bothered to tell him where he went wrong. They did, however, give me stern lectures if I so much as mislaid my homework. These people were mostly my ever-loving aunts, who’d felt duty bound to help raise me since my mother’s death. They considered Lucius spoiled since his mother had never been able to say “no” to him, making him a lost cause. And though I reaped the benefits of the favored son status, which was entirely unfair to Lucius, I didn’t get the benefit of committing my own sins.
