Chapter Eighteen

Ashton felt like a complete ass. He was a complete ass, actually. He was in a lousy mood, and Savvy was a large part of the reason for that, but she didn’t deserve the way he’d taken out his wrath on her. Seeing her with another man had set him off and he’d been a complete monster since Saturday night. Her continual rejection of him wasn’t helping either.

Then he’d been so irate over that kiss, he’d told himself to leave, only to turn around and make sure she was thinking of no other man than him. But dammit, if he was an ass to her, then it didn’t matter how much she desired him, she’d want nothing to do with him. He was spinning in circles, and it was time to stop that.

She wasn’t going to speak to him again, let alone spend any amount of time with him. Not that he wanted to spend time with anyone of the female persuasion. Not after what he’d gone through a couple of days ago.

He’d ended it with Kalli, and that hadn’t gone as expected. She’d screamed at him for three hours straight. It was enough to make him become a monk. Damn, women could be pissy when they considered themselves scorned. Hell, pissy was a freaking understatement. Hell was an understatement.

He decided that some nice grunt work would be the best thing he could do, so for the next few hours he did all those tasks he’d been accused — during his more entitled days — of being unwilling or unable to do anymore. And by his own father, who naturally knew best. Damn, he needed to stop with the snide comments, even if they were only in his head.

As the sun rose higher in the sky and the temperature reached the mid-eighties, Ashton felt good. Sweat dripped off him as he pushed himself harder and harder.

After a little while longer, he stripped down to his shorts and dove into the water, instantly cooling his anger down. Okay, the work was helping too. He wasn’t nearly as ticked off as he’d been when he’d started busting his ass today.

But just as he was climbing out of the water, he heard a screech, and then a groan from his foreman. Dammit! He knew he’d forgotten something. He hadn’t changed the security code for the docks yet, and his former fiancée was moving rapidly toward him.

His men were going to get off on this big-time blowout. And to Ashton’s complete joy, he looked over and found Savvy speaking with a couple of the guys and in easy hearing range. Okay, he wasn’t quite finished with his sarcastic internal monologue.

“Did you honestly think you could break up with me just like that, sneak out of the hotel when I was in the other room, and believe that would be the end of it?” Kalli yelled, making sure the entire island could hear the depth and the breadth of her outrage.

“I didn’t sneak out, Kalli,” Ashton told her.
