CHAPTER

TWENTY-ONE

Samantha settled into the passenger seat of the car and waited for Quinn. She hadn’t lasted very long, had she? Only one day had passed since they’d made the pact about nothing physical. So far they’d shared a deliciously steamy kiss, along with a few quick ones. The heated look he’d just given her in the diner said he wanted a whole lot more. So did she.

Major issues remained. There were still things they didn’t know about each other. And their relationship—how would that work with her in Midnight and Quinn in Atlanta? But the issue that had torn them apart had been resolved. Now, more than anything, she wanted to rejoice in that with the man she loved.

Just as Quinn walked in front of the car, the door of the diner opened and Clark Dayton swaggered out. He said something to Quinn, and though she couldn’t hear his words, she knew they weren’t friendly. In an instant, Quinn had Clark pushed up against the diner’s window and was in his face.

Quinn Braddock was all about control. Having him lose his cool meant one thing: he was more than pissed—he was furious. Clark Dayton had finally shot off his mouth to the wrong person.

She’d put her hand on the car door handle to get out when Quinn swung his head around and gave her a hard, telling look. The message was clear. With a small nod, Samantha settled back into her seat and quite happily waited for Quinn to handle the imbecile. She trusted him to know what to do.

Apparently satisfied she wouldn’t interfere, Quinn turned around and devoted his full attention to the man plastered against the diner window. Whatever Quinn said made an impressive impact. Clark’s face was crimson red, his eyes so wide they were almost bugged. No doubt about it, Quinn was scaring the crap out of the jerk.

It was over in seconds. Quinn took one step back, nodded at the dozen or so people who were unashamedly gawking at the confrontation, and then headed to the car.

When he got inside and shut the door, she glanced over at him and asked mildly, “Feel better?”

The twitch at his mouth told her he was fighting a grin. “Much.”

“Good. Let’s go before he shows his stupidity again and one of us has to slug him.”

Starting the engine, he pulled out onto the road and then threw her a concerned look. “Did you want me to step in the first time? I got the impression you wanted to handle it on your own.”

“No, I appreciated your self-control. As much as I’d like to slap the smirk off his face, I refuse to lower myself to his level.”

“Sorry I don’t have the same restraint.”

She grinned. “Actually, I thought you showed incredible restraint. I expected blood. You want to tell me what he said?”

“No.”

She didn’t push it. Whatever it was, she knew it had been uncomplimentary and, from Quinn’s reaction, most likely about her. Clark Dayton’s opinion of her meant nothing.

They were at the Hartley place before she knew it.
