Chapter Eleven

Summer

We have an emergency. Please keep Ryan a little longer this afternoon. I will call you when we are ready for him to come up.

I usher Lucan into the penthouse elevator quickly and away from prying eyes. I grip his hand, taking comfort in him squeezing my fingers in return. As soon as we get to the suite, I turn him toward his room.

“Let me call room service and then tend to you.”

I place a quick order for sandwiches and juice before going to the room to find him standing by the window.

“Sit.”

I place him on the edge of the bed and remove his jacket. I then loosen his tie and undo the first few buttons of his shirt.

“Let me know if anything hurts.”

I skim over his torso, pressing into his ribs lightly. I move my hands upward, pressing as I go. When I get to his shoulder, he winces. Gently, I pull the shirt off his shoulder and find a slightly swollen area. I touch it again and he reacts. I remove his shirt completely.

I leave him just long enough to run to my room and rummage through my luggage for my first aid kit to find the tube of cream I’m looking for.

“This is not going to hurt. It will help to numb the area and reduce the swelling.”

“Okay.”

I avoid his eyes as I apply the ointment. “Do you want to talk about it?”

He remains silent.

“Lucan, you’re obviously still very hurt about whatever happened. Maybe getting it out of your system will do you some good. Did you love her that much?”

He turns to look away. “It’s not so much about love. It’s the principle of the thing. She didn’t have to cheat. I would have let her go.”

“Is everything that that man said true?”

He shrugs. “Pretty much. I don’t think I was ready for a serious relationship. I was more focused on getting the club started. I had just worked with Roger to open Deep South and it was a lot of hard work. If the truth is to be told, I had been eyeing California for a while and Friction was in the making. So, I was still living here and traveling frequently. The intention was to have Tommy go to California and manage operations there and I would stay here and be the brain behind the operation. But being the hands on person that I am, I wanted to do things myself.”

I nod in agreement. “That’s understandable. It was the first club. This is going to sting a little.” I dab an alcohol soaked pad on his eyebrow. He winces and I lean in to blow on it slightly the way I would with any of my students. He smiles, and from this closeness, I notice the flecks of gray hidden in the blue of his eyes.

“You need to add nurse to your resumé.”

I laugh and lean back. “Where would that fit in your organization?”

“Doing exactly what you’re doing now.”

“Are you anticipating getting into
