I was mad as hell. Actually, that’s probably an understatement. I was livid, and I couldn’t even properly vent my frustration, because I was in the car with Preston. He wouldn’t understand why I was so pissed. Hell, he would probably find a reason to be mad that I was a mad. I suspected that he already was, from the silent treatment he had been giving me ever since we left the P&G offices. But I didn’t care about that. At the moment, all I cared about was the fact that Sabrina’s ass had gone rogue.

That was the only way to explain it, really. What the hell had I ever done to her? She was the ‘home wrecker’, not me! And the bitch had the nerve to say that Terrence had implied that I was stupid. And fat. And couldn’t cut it as a lawyer. Oh, what I wouldn’t give for a quiet moment alone in a camera-less, windowless room with her and a baseball bat. How dare she? What the hell was her problem? Inquiring minds— mine— wanted to know.

“So do you want to talk about what happened in there?”

Do I look like I do, Preston?

“Not really, but you brought it up, so obviously you want to.”

“I’d just like to know what in the world is going on. Do you have some kind of history with Sabrina Wilson too?”

“She dated Terrence after me.”

“That’s all?”

“Yes.”

“It didn’t sound like that was all.”

I scowled at Preston from the passenger seat. “We were going through a rough patch, he started talking to Sabrina, we broke up, they started dating. Is that sufficient information for you?”

“So he cheated on you? Damn, baby. I’m sorry.” He placed his hand on my knee in what I assumed was supposed to be a soothing gesture, but it only annoyed me. He was so obviously trying to use this as a way to get closer.

“Thanks, but it was four years ago. We’re past it now.”

I ignored the constant buzzing of my phone as we pulled up to the hotel. I knew it was Terrence, since he’d been blowing me up since we left the office, probably trying to apologize for Sabrina. I couldn’t believe I’d let him bring Joci around her! With that thought, I was mad all over again, slamming my door as I exited the car. Preston walked me to my room, where he expressed, again, how confused he was about why I needed my own, instead of sharing with him.

“You know, I could come in… help you relax,” he said, pressing me into the wall beside my door, and using a finger to tilt up my chin. Despite my annoyance, my nipples peaked into hard pebbles against the inside of my bra as he kissed me, long and deep.

“Mmm, as tempting as that sounds, I’m really not in the mood, Preston. Besides… three more weeks, remember? I wouldn’t want to get you all hot and bothered, especially when I’m going to be heading out in just a few hours.
