Chapter 9

Normally Julian loved the mornings with Charlotte. Even when she had to leave early for work, he loved waking up with her and having lazy conversations in bed before she had to get up and start her day.

Today? Not so much.

Last night had been a complete shit-show, and while he had done everything in his power to push all thoughts of it aside, he couldn’t. And now he couldn’t wait for Charlotte to leave for work so he could just be alone and…think.

So yeah, seeing Dena last night had freaked him out more than he’d thought it would. Why the hell was she in town and how had she found him? They were eating in a place Julian had never frequented, so…how? Why?

It would have been easy to call Mick and see if he had any information, but he was tired of having someone else handle his problems. While he wasn’t ready to pick up the phone and call Dena himself right now, the bigger problem was figuring out why he was still reacting so strongly.

He was happy with Charlotte. Hell, he was in love with Charlotte. So why had it taken three minutes in Dena’s presence for him to feel such blinding rage that he should have been over by now?

“Okay, I’m heading out!” Charlotte said cheerily as she walked into the kitchen to refill her travel coffee mug.

Julian walked over and kissed her until they were both breathless and then smiled down at her. “Have a good day, beautiful.”

Her smile warmed as she leaned into him. “You’re a dangerous man, Julian Grayson.”

He arched a brow at her as he laughed softly. “Me? How come?”

“I normally love my job and I always look forward to the new workday. But when you kiss me like that, all I can think of is playing hooky, or better yet quitting so I can stay here all day like this with you.”

The reality was she could. He knew that. Just like he knew he’d take care of her and her bills and whatever else she needed, because he would love to have her here with him all day, too. But he also knew her too well. She’d go crazy without something to do. Which she immediately confirmed before he could comment on it.

“But there are people who need help finding jobs and I’m just the girl to help them do it.”

Hugging her close, he kissed her again. “Then you better fix your red cape and go help the masses.”

They laughed and he walked her out to the car—which he knew she hadn’t switched over to her name yet, but he wasn’t going to harp on it—and they made plans to see each other after work. Waiting until the car was out of sight, Julian went back into the house and started on some of the things he wanted to do to make up for last night.

First was the florist.

He made arrangements to have a bouquet of wildflowers sent to Charlotte’s office at lunchtime.
