Chapter Fourteen
Rhee blamed the alcohol on her stupid decision to find a quiet place to talk. A casual walk on the beach had seemed so innocuous when Dax suggested it. Not! I am such a fucking idiot. Initially, Rhee had convinced herself that explaining things to Dax would go smoothly as long as they stayed in a public place—that way, neither of them could get too riled up. But, it was stuffy in the little eatery and as the evening wore on, it became crowded and loud.
She was conscious of the light brush of Dax’s hand on the small of her back as they exited the restaurant, feeling a flutter in her belly as his long fingers hesitated there just long enough to make her wonder if perhaps, just perhaps, he was still attracted to her. They rode in silence for several minutes until Dax got a text on his phone and swore, turning the car abruptly around.
“Um-where are we going?”
“I know a place.” He looked annoyed, his mouth set in that hard line she was all too familiar with.
“I just hope it’s not too far. I can’t be out too late.” Her voice wobbled for a second but she corrected it as soon as she was conscious of the tremor.
Rhee wanted out of this interaction, and fast. She knew Dax would never hurt her the way Darren had, but she still had that fight or flight feeling that crept up and made her want to flee. It would be fruitless, though. Even in her slightly inebriated state, Rhee knew that running would solve nothing. Before the night was over, she and Dax would talk like respectable adults. They would come clean about their feelings, and her life would go back to the way it was before. Right?
“I’ll have you back in plenty of time, stowaway. I know you need your rest.”
He glanced sidelong at her and Rhee was dismayed to see a brief look of anger on his face. Now he was mad again? God, being with this man was going to drive her crazy! Dax spent most of dinner shooting her hot, hungry looks that had made it impossible for her to eat. He threw in a few innuendos that made her blush but then seemed to back off and concentrate more on his food than on her. In short, his mood swings and inconsistent behavior were driving her nuts. Rhee still wasn’t sure if the man was still attracted to her, or if she was just seeing what she wanted to see. She sucked down two mai tais in an effort to quell her desire but that had backfired big time. Now she had wet panties and a head full of angst to deal with.
He doesn’t want me. Does he?! I can’t be with him anyway. Arrgh!
To top it all off, Dax hadn’t mentioned Sirena at all. His daughter-the whole reason they were enduring this awkward game. If it weren’t for Sirena, she was sure that Dax wouldn’t have given her a second glance.
