CHAPTER 13

It was Tuesday in Manhattan, and although it was the middle of the work week the streets were teeming with people. Rushing home, rushing to parties or running towards the park for a little exercise. Garret had always enjoyed the brisk pace that came with living in Manhattan, but ever since he returned on Sunday he looked at the city through Skye’s eyes and could understand why she left. For someone with anxiety, a taxi rushing by and a business man bumping you out of the way on the sidewalk would be much more disturbing than for someone who didn’t.

He had spent the most of yesterday working through the new contract he had landed with Headlinger and had to push thoughts of Skye away. This morning when he woke, she was the first thing he thought of and couldn’t push her from his mind since. He thought of the fragile look in her eyes when she had told him her biggest secret. That explained her running, the way she could run hot and cold and for some unknown reason Garret found himself even more attracted to her, even somewhat protective.

After Vanessa, he had never thought he would feel this way over a woman again, and yet he had a strong desire to make Skye his. To claim her for himself, the only problem was if something ever happened between them Garret wasn’t so sure he would be able to let her go as easily as he did Vanessa. Even though it had hurt like hell at the time, the sight of her revolted him after walking into that room. If it had been Skye, Garret wasn’t so sure he would’ve walked out. He would’ve probably killed the man with his bare hands.

The pull towards Skye confused him. Yes there was the basic attraction, the desire between two attractive people, but there was also more. There was something in the way she could be shy and innocent the one moment and the next be a teasing wildcat in the bedroom. Garret loved both parts of her. He stopped on the street, letting the people pass him as he realized what word he had just used. Loved? He couldn’t be in love with Skye. They barely knew each other.

Pushing the thought aside to pick apart later, he hailed a cab and gave them the name of the bar where he was meeting Cole.

“Roth! Thanks for meeting me.” Cole Matthewson stood and held out his hand.

Garret smiled at Cole’s formality. He was a few inches shorter than Garret but had broader shoulders and a smile that made the girls crazy. Just enough cute in his face to drive them crazy with his naughty smile. “Only a pleasure Mr. Matthewson.”

They shook hands briefly before Cole pulled Garret in for a hug and slapped his back. “It’s good to see you man.”

“Yeah you too. When did you get in?” They sat down at the bar, and Cole waved over the barman who already held two glasses of single malt scotch ready for them.
