CHAPTER 16

Theresa

Dinner was nothing like I expected. I thought Miller would spend the whole night trying to sleep with me again. Surprisingly, he was much more forthcoming about his life than I’d expected him to be. I won’t lie and say the wine didn’t help me relax, but this time I made sure to drink each glass slower, savoring the taste and keeping myself from getting drunk.

"You promised to tell me what Ashton said to make you change your mind.”

He smiled. When we got back to his house, he’d changed into jeans and a simple blue T-shirt. In a tailored suit the man was sexy; in a pair of jeans he was an orgasmic feast. One look and you knew the man would help you experience things you never had before. Once again my body was on high alert, but that didn’t stop me from trying to get to know more about him.

“I did. He called me a ‘fucking idiot’ and told me to get my shit together. Said that you weren’t the type to only want sex. He also made me realize that wasn’t all I wanted from you, either.”

And there was the golden question. What did Miller want? Was this some sort of experiment? I saw the way my stepfather treated my mom. That wasn’t what I wanted for my life. He never physically abused her, but that didn’t mean he treated her well.

“And what is it that you want from me? To be honest, I don’t want to be some experiment for the guy who’s never been in a relationship before.”

“Is that what you think?” His tone was harsh and caught me off-guard.

“I’m not sure what to think. I want to believe that you want me . . .” I paused and my voice was low as I admitted, “I guess I’m afraid you’ll get bored of being in a relationship.”

His jaw clenched and unclenched. “It pisses me off that you think that, but I guess I deserve it. I’m not sure this will make you feel any better, but it’s all I have.” He reached over and refilled the almost empty glass in my hand. Warning bells went off in my head that I really wasn’t going to like what he had to say. I took a sip of the drink and braced. “The blonde that came into the bar a few weeks ago was part of my attempt to fuck you out of my system.”

I flinched, the thought that he would attempt something like that filled me with dread. I didn’t know the rest, but better to hear it now than later when more than intrigue and desire were involved.

“I couldn’t get you out of my head. For that first week, I dreamt about you—the feel of your lips, the way your body held me tight inside you. With my dad handing over the business to me, time wasn’t on my side. I worked my ass off to take over and I wasn’t about to let a woman stand in the way of that.
