*Josh*

Leaving the hardware store after picking up some supplies for the job site, I freeze when someone calls my name.

“Josh, is that you?”

I would know that voice anywhere, and dread floods my veins. I roll my eyes and puff out a breath, knowing I can’t be rude and walk away as if I didn’t hear her. Spinning around, I paste a fake smile on my lips.

“Hey, Cassidy. What’s up?”

I scan her body and ask myself for the millionth time why I ever got involved with this girl. Everything about her screams fake, from the bottle-blond hair to the size-D tits her daddy paid for as a birthday present. They’re barely concealed in a sweater stretched so tight that it’s see-through.

“Gosh, it’s been forever. How are you?”

Not nearly long enough, if you ask me. This girl is crazy with a capital C, and she’s looking for a man to spoil her and hand her everything on a silver platter, like her daddy’s done her whole life. The girl’s twenty-four and never worked a day in her life, unless you call lifting and carrying shopping bags work.

She filled some lonely nights for me, but she wasn’t even good at that. I should feel bad about the way I used her, but a girl can only offer herself so long before a man gives in and uses her for a warm body.

“I’m good, just picking up some supplies for the job.” I hold up my bags.

“Do you have time to grab dinner to catch up? I’ve missed you.” She runs her finger up my arm, and I flinch.

“Nah, I’ve gotta run and drop these at the job site for the boys in the morning.” That’s a lie. I don’t have to have them there until in the morning when I go in. I start to back away. “It was good seeing you.” Not. “Take care.”

“Wait.” She walks after me.

Shit. I don’t want to talk to her any more than I already have, but I stop because I don’t want her following me to my truck.

“Why don’t you give me a call when you get some free time? You know, for old times’ sake.” She licks her lips and then pulls her finger into her mouth and bites down.

Not a chance in hell.

“That’s not going to work.” Shit. Think of something. “I’m seeing someone. Officially off the market, but thanks for the offer.” It’s not entirely a lie. She may not know it, and she hasn’t accepted it yet, but it’s going to happen sooner or later.

Cassidy pouts. “She doesn’t have to know. It can be our little secret.” She giggles, and the sound is like nails on a chalkboard down my spine.

“I’m not that type of man, Cassidy.” Even if it wasn’t for Tiffany, I wouldn’t go there again. I slept with her twice—wham, bam, thank ya, ma’am—pushing her out of my house the next morning. She got clingy fast, showing up every time I went out, hanging all over me like we were together.
