FOURTEEN

Luc sat at the bar in the Capone room with Rourke and his wife Jennifer, but he wasn’t drinking. His head was fucked up enough. Alcohol would only make the situation worse. For once in his life, Luc needed to talk to a friend. He didn’t know what to do with these annoying emotions Everly evoked. Guilt wasn’t something he often experienced, and he was drowning in it at the moment.

He had called Rourke and asked him to meet him at the bar, but Rourke hadn’t come alone. It was Rourke’s day off, so he couldn’t blame the man for bringing Jennifer along. Christ. Luc was such a fucking jerk. He hadn’t even thought about what plans he might have been interrupting between the couple. They were dressed for a night out, not a night with the fucking boss.

He watched Rourke nuzzle his wife’s neck in a rare, unguarded moment in public. Rourke wasn’t a man prone to public shows of affection, but his wife, understanding her husband as she did, didn’t seem to mind. Rourke was a hard man until it came to Jennifer. You could almost see the flinty steel in the man’s eyes melt at the mention of the beautiful blonde’s name.

A strange sensation washed over Luc. He didn’t like it, at all. It kind of burned, and it made him angry. It was envy. What the fuck did he have to be envious of? Why would the idea of having a woman look at him with complete trust and adoration –as if he’d hung the fucking moon just for her or some bullshit– make him long for someone to look at him that way? The vision of a curvy redheaded Fury filled his mind when he imagined himself in Rourke’s position. The idea tantalized him when it shouldn’t.

Luc believed some time away from Everly would clear his mind. He didn’t like his staff gossiping about him. He didn’t want to hear about how wonderful Everly was when he knew she’d be returning to her life in Colorado and his life would go on as it had for years.

He didn’t want to think of her in the long-term, because there was no long-term for them. She was a sweet bombshell born to a ranching family in the Midwest. He was the ruthless, high-stakes businessman from Nevada who’d taken advantage of her weak-minded father and nearly destroyed their family legacy.

She was the kind of woman who dropped out of college to raise her little sister and help keep the family business afloat. He was the kind of man who stepped on the necks of men stupid enough to risk it all by signing on the dotted line. They were completely incompatible. She was the marrying kind, and he would never want more than sex from any woman. Or so he’d thought at the time when he stalked out of her suite and headed straight for the airport a few days ago when Isa had stunned him with talk of the rumors running around his casino.
