Chapter Fifteen

Fiona

I finished work late on Tuesday, well after the sun had set. I hopped into my car to make the short drive home. Although the thought of going back to my empty house sent a pulse of sadness through me. Another two days had passed since I’d last seen or heard from Shane. At this point, I was sure I’d run him off for good.

I knew that Drew was right, and I shouldn’t get hung up on him. He had lied to me, and then had the gall to throw his privileged life in my face. But I couldn’t help wondering what could have been.

I snorted. Nothing. That’s what. His life was in Houston. Mystic and me? We were simply a holiday destination.

When I got home after work, I saw a familiar head of chestnut hair stuck out from above my porch railing, and my heart lurched of its own accord. I ordered it to stop.

Shane rose when he heard me walking up the stone pathway to my house, a massive bouquet of flowers in his muscular arms and a small smile on his lips.

Apparently, he’d been waiting for me, although I had no idea for how long. It was a surprise but I wasn’t sure how I felt about seeing him.

“Fiona! Hi.” His deep voice still had the power to do things to me, but I refused to let it. “Look, about the other morning… I can explain.”

“Sure you can,” I muttered under my breath.

With more lies. I pushed past him.

“Please, just give me five minutes. I don’t know what exactly happened, but I’m flying back to Houston in the morning, and I need to make things right with you before I go.” He moved toward me, his gaze as intense as ever.

I turned my back on him, my hand shaking as I tried to get my damn key into the lock. I felt, rather than heard, his approach. He came up right behind me, exactly as he had the other night. The night when it had led to spectacular, mind-blowing sex.

No! He’s a liar. Don’t go there.

My body wouldn’t listen to my brain. The memories of what he could do to it were too fresh to ignore. Chills ran up and down my spine and settled between my legs.

As if Zeus himself had willed it to be so, the air between Shane and I crackled and thickened with tension, as if there was a lightning bolt connecting his chest to my back.

“Come on, Fiona. Please. Just look at me. You don’t have to say a single word. Just let me explain.” He was on the verge of pleading, although I was sure he would never admit it.

I spun on my heel, fuming. “Fine. You want me to look at you? Here. I’m looking at you. Now go get on that plane to Houston, and never, ever come back.”

With that, I threw open my door, stepped inside, and locked the door behind me with a definitive click. I was breathing heavily, and I sank to my haunches against the door.
