Chapter Seven

No Place to Hide

He knocked twice before I heard the sound, the second knock louder than the first. Patrick stunned me just by being there. I’d only left him an hour before, after a long and very stressful day going over two problematic chapters in his book. I had thought when I walked out, with his grumbling complaints still ringing in my ears, that we needed a break. For three days we’d been battling back and forth about the direction of the novel. Not that I actually had any say. But I did have strong opinions. If I tried to hold them back, he sensed I was editing my comments and he forced me to speak the truth—which he really didn’t want to hear. No wonder he couldn’t keep assistants long. His editing process was grueling, and if I could get him to change a single word, I’d accomplished quite a feat. Most of the time, he left me to do my job, which I could handle with little problem, but on other occasions he was a nightmare to work with.

Thank God I loved him. I wouldn’t have survived any longer than his last five publicist/editors.

“This is a surprise!” I exclaimed, as he crossed the threshold of my doorway without saying a word.

I followed him into the living room, which he was inspecting in a rather odd way. He fiddled with a lamp, tested the strength of the chandelier hanging over my dining room table, then took a turn in the bedroom, going through another mysterious appraisal of my living space.

“What are you doing?” Still not a word. “Why are you here? I thought you’d had enough of me.”

He finally turned around.

“I had. But that was then, and this is now. Besides, the fact that I can’t get enough of you, and we haven’t done anything nasty in nearly a week, I figure we need to get whatever it is that’s rankling you out of your system.”

“Me rankled?” I was incensed. “What about you?”

“You think today was my problem?”

“It certainly wasn’t mine.”

“Oh?” He looked at me skeptically.

“You are a boorish prick,” I blurted out the first thing that popped into my head. Right…open mouth, insert foot. I’d been trying to avoid saying the wrong thing all day long, but by then, I didn’t have the patience to try. If he was going to punish me, he’d have every reason he needed because I wasn’t about to be friendly and compliant. He’d have to make me submit—not that the idea wasn’t appealing. Hard sex was about the only thing that could set things straight. It wouldn’t be pretty and it wouldn’t be nice. But that was exactly where we were headed.

He didn’t reply right away; there wasn’t even a trace of a response on his pretty face. He went back to roaming the room, which I took as a deliberate ploy to unnerve me. I followed him into the bedroom where he continued with the mysterious inspection. I stared at him waiting, then finally he whipped around and leveled me with his single-eyed stare.
