Chapter Eight

Mason didn’t like the horrified expression on her face. What she thought about him or his plans shouldn’t matter to him, and he didn’t like that it did. That he was unable to define why what she thought mattered troubled him even more.

“But…there are people who work at the facility. Are they still the same ones who worked there when you were there? And even if I do agree to give you the land, getting it doesn’t guarantee you the building.”

“Some of the same guards are still there. The lease is up on the building. Once I own the land, it will not be renewed. The building will become worthless.”

The expression on her face changed to one of astonishment. “I know that you have a need to see justice for what happened to you at the facility. But what about the people who work there who didn’t have anything to do with what happened? Some of them have families to take care of.”

“I’m sure they do.” He didn’t bother to tell her he’d already set plans in motion to provide for the families of the workers who hadn’t been involved. She thought of him as a heartless bastard. Let her continue to think the worst of him.

The timer for the microwave went off and she didn’t turn. She moved into the room with him and clutched the front of his shirt. “I have friends who work there. Jobs aren’t exactly plentiful here. They’ll lose everything if you destroy the building.”

“Then they’ll know exactly how I felt.”

“Mason…I don’t want to see you do this.”

“Then you might not want to watch.”

“I refuse to believe that you’re so bent on revenge that nothing else matters.”

“Stick around and I’ll make a believer out of you.”

The fullness of her lips tightened at his statement. Mason fought the urge to lean down and capture those lips under his, to explore her body with his hands. He wanted her with a desire that haunted him. The need to lose himself from the memories was stronger tonight than it had been in a while.

“You know I can’t let you do this,” she said with a tilt of her chin.

His eyes traveled the length of her curvy body and came back up to meet the determination in her eyes. “You think you can stop me?”

“I do.” She considered it for a moment. “It makes me more determined than ever that I won’t sell you the land.”

“I’ve faced off against tougher opponents,” he said.

“I’m sure you have, but none of them were me.”

He laughed at the confidence in her tone. “If you feel froggy, sweetheart, go ahead and jump.”

She arched her eyebrows. “Is that an invitation to do my best?”

“Open-ended, too.”

The microwave sent out a reminder beep and Olivia disappeared into the kitchen.

Mason followed her and watched as she dumped the bag of popcorn into a bowl. Then she poured herself a cup of coffee.

“Want one? It’s decaf,” she offered.

Though she wasn’t pushing the issue, he knew he hadn’t heard the last of her thoughts on what he intended to do.
