Chapter Eleven

Dillon touched Mary’s cheek, making her jump. “I didn’t mean to startle you. It’s just that you seemed a million miles away.”

Actually only five miles away, on the ranch where Chase was working.

She couldn’t quit thinking about him, which is why she hadn’t wanted to go out with Dillon tonight, especially after she’d told him that she needed more time.

“I guess you forgot,” he’d said. “The tickets to the concert I bought after the last time we went out? You said you loved that band, and I said I should try to get us some tickets. Well I did. For tonight.”

She’d recalled the conversation. It hadn’t been definite, but she hadn’t been up to arguing about it. Anyway, she knew that if she stayed home, all she’d do was mope around and worry about Chase.

“You’ve been distracted this whole night.”

“Sorry,” she said. “But you’re right. I have a lot on my mind. Which is why I need to call it a night.”

“Anything I can help you with?” he asked.

She shook her head.

“It wouldn’t be some blond cowboy named Chase Steele, would it?” There was an edge to his voice. She wasn’t in the mood for his jealousy.

“Chase is a friend of mine.”

“Is that all?”

She turned to look at him, not liking his tone. “I can go out with anyone I want to.”

“Oh, it’s like that, is it?”

She reached for her door handle, but he grabbed her arm before she could get out.

“Slow down,” he said. “I was just asking.” He quickly let go of her. “Like you said, you can date anyone you please. But then, so can I. What if I decided to ask out that barista friend of yours?”

“Lucy?” She was surprised he even knew about her.

“Yeah, Lucy.”

If he was trying to make her jealous, he was failing badly. “Be my guest,” she said, and opened her door and climbed out before he could stop her again.

She heard him get out the driver’s side and come after her. “Good night Dillon,” she said pointedly. But he didn’t take the hint.

As she pulled out her keys to open her office door, he grabbed her and shoved her back, caging her against the side of the building.

“I won’t put up with you giving me the runaround.”

“Let me go,” she said from between gritted teeth. Her voice sounded much stronger than she felt at that moment. Her heart was beating as if she’d just run a mile. Dillon was more than wild. She could see that he could be dangerous—more dangerous than she was interested in.
