CHAPTER ELEVEN

“You’re doing what?” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. “What about your conference? Aren’t you going to get in trouble if you miss it?”

“I don’t care. I’ve already spent three days in workshops about every kind of sexual dysfunction and fetish known to man. I can learn more from porn than listening to the instructors.”

“You guys talk about fetishes?” I couldn’t imagine him sitting around a table and talking about how patients got off by looking at women’s feet.

“It’s pretty common you know.” He gave me a nod and proceeded to pack. “Oh, look on the dresser.”

I walked over and picked up the folded material sitting on top. I held it up. “It’s my shirt. How’d you get my shirt so clean?” I held it up at and examined it front and back. It was so white it almost gleamed.

“I got the housekeeper to wash it this morning. Gave her an extra fifty bucks not to mention the blood.”

“That was a lot of blood on that shirt.” I cut my eyes at him.

“I know. But she didn’t seem upset. Just washed and dried it and I picked it up when I went to the office.

“Thank you.” I shrugged away the little twist in my heart at his kindness. Getting emotional was a good way to get distracted. It was just a shirt after all. Not a freaking diamond ring and a commitment.

I shrugged off his button up shirt and let it fall to the floor. As I tugged my T-shirt over my head I heard Roger groan in frustration. I smiled on the inside and slowly slide the shirt down my chest, just to torture him a little longer.

Upper hand. I always needed the upper hand. I protected my heart with a wall so thick it was impenetrable. It was how I had survived without losing my mind all these years.

I reached for my jeans and cut my eyes at Roger. He wiggled his nose and then scrubbed his hand across his face.

“I’ve got to go pay the bill for the room. I’ll be back.” He averted his eyes from me and hurried out the door.

I grinned to the empty room and propped my hands on my hips in satisfaction. “Upper hand.”

“So how far are we?” I took a sip of my hot tea and examined his car. It was an obvious rental with a faint whiff of stale cigarettes and coffee. The two things I detested most in life.

Well, besides betrayal.

“Ella, we just left.” He chuckled and shoved his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. It was a habit that I found oddly attractive.

“Did you pick out this car? Or did they have it waiting for you at the car rental?” I kept my hands wrapped around the cup so I wouldn’t be tempted to touch the stained seat. It was clean but had a lot of wear and tear.

“How’d you know it was a rental? Did you read my mind again?” He narrowed his eyes.
