Raine lied. What was one more lie in a million? But now she’d added Chase to the list of people she lied to, and she liked him. Technically, she and Matt were married. She had never officially filed for divorce, and she wasn’t exactly lying in a morgue. But they hadn’t had sex in three years. Once she found out he was cheating on her, she refused to go to bed with him. He hadn’t cared, was relieved in fact. He’d demanded that they stay married, and act like the perfect couple. When she tried to leave he bashed her head into the wall and promised Landon would grow up without a mother. That was the moment she formed her plan to leave him.

What had she been thinking kissing Chase like that last night? She couldn’t seem to stop herself. He tasted minty, and a little like beer. His hands were strong, and that little tug in her hair. It wasn’t the same as the way Matt handled her, rough and mean and ugly as if she was his property and not his wife.

Her insides had lit up like fireworks from Chase’s touch. He had been intense like his stare, and sure of himself which only heated her core more. She wanted all of him, but he had been right. The front porch wasn’t the place.

“Landon, you’re going to be late for school.” She needed to get her thoughts on a less erotic subject.

The man at the school had her worried. When she dropped Landon off, she’d go inside and tell the principal. She should think about getting Landon a disposable phone just in case the worst thing occurred. Her stomach clenched at the thought of anything happening to him. Chase had promised to show her how to use a gun. That would be a help. But how would she buy a gun? Could he get her one? How much was she willing to ask of this man? Would she really put him at risk?

They piled into the car and she headed down the drive sneaking a peek at Chase’s place. His truck was gone. Probably at work. She’d see him in an hour and wiggled a little in her seat. She’d have to find an excuse to get him into the walk-in for a quick kiss.

“Mom, when are we seeing Chase again?” Landon broke through her steamy thoughts.

She placed a cold hand against her heated cheek. “I don’t know, bud. I’m sure we’ll see him around.”

“I hope he comes to dinner again.”

“Me too.”

A snow storm threatened. The weather reports talked about it. They were probably wrong. At least Chase hoped they were. The storm was more than a week out. He’d offer Raine and Landon his place to stay during it. He had a generator.

The lunch shift was over, and the General sparkled like a new toy. Jim locked the front door. “Why don’t you kids get on out of here?”

Mandy counted out the tips and handed the whole wad of cash to Raine.
