Chapter 13

The storm had long since passed when they headed back to Alex’s father’s house. They drove with the sound of a radio station playing country music quietly in the background. Jamie dozed in the passenger seat, pleasantly exhausted and spent.

When Alex stopped the car Jamie realized they were back at the house. She sat up and blinked as she looked around.

“Jamie…” Alex stared straight ahead, his hands playing with the keys. He’d opened the garage door, but hadn’t driven the truck inside. “I want to apologize for what happened.”

“You don’t have to apologize.” Jamie reached out to touch his hand. “I was clearly a willing participant.” She grinned happily. “Both times.”

He moved his hands to the steering wheel, avoiding hers. “It can’t happen again.” Alex shook his head. “It didn’t mean anything. With everything going on, I needed a distraction. That’s all it was. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done it in the first place.” He refused to look her in the eye.

His confession hit like a punch in the gut. She swore under her breath. She should have known! All she would ever be for him was a good time on the side, a nice distraction from work. He wasn’t capable of caring for someone beyond that. He had probably opened up to her more than anyone else, so she should feel a sense of accomplishment in getting that from him. She had thought there had been more to it than sex when he had taken her under the bridge. It’s just wishful thinking. Stupid thinking. “Of course.” She swallowed. “I-I’m glad you told me. I’m not looking for anything. It won’t happen again.” And she’d freakin’ told him about her dream! She wanted to die of embarrassment.

He looked at her with what she could only see as pity. “Jamie—”

“Don’t. It’s fine.” She opened the truck door. “The neighbors are going to start wondering why we’re just sitting in the driveway.” She forced a half smile before getting out, leaving Alex sitting in the cab, staring at her with longing and regret.

The look on his face hurt her more than his words. She knew he’d never be interested in her. She was just a distraction. No one else was available and she was more than a willing participant. She had acted like a freakin’ dog in heat. And then asked for more!

What the hell was she thinking?

How in the world was she going to get through the next few days?

Jamie hurried into the house, thankful the door was unlocked. She raced up the stairs and to the bathroom. When she came out, she could hear Alex moving about in the kitchen and the clink of a glass on the counter. She lingered in the hallway, not eager to head back down to try and make small talk with Alex. She noticed only one of the doors on the landing was fully closed.

Curious, she moved to it and tried the door. It wasn’t locked so she opened it and looked inside.
