Chapter Sixteen

TELL me you brought beer.” Liam reached for the cooler Sean carried, praying his hand didn’t shake.

What the hell had come over him? Cassidy had made a couple of innocuous comments and he’d immediately gone off on her, defending his business as if she were an authority he had to answer to.

“Yeah, it’s five o’clock somewhere.” Sean flicked the lid open when Liam set it on the sawhorse table he’d set up in the middle of what would be the entrance foyer of someone’s new office. Without a hutch or a sofa or anything. “Domestic or imported?”

Liam grabbed the first bottle he found. “Doesn’t matter. I just need something to quench my thirst.” And calm his spinning mind. He couldn’t decide if it was anger at Cassidy for insinuating he didn’t know his business, or the fact that she’d looked so damn appealing and he didn’t want her to look appealing. Whatever it was, the last thing he needed was for Sean to find out. Thank God she’d left fifteen minutes before his brother had shown up unannounced and unexpected. If Liam had known he was coming while Cassidy had been here . . . He didn’t want to think about it.

“So how’s working for Cassidy Davenport?”

So much for that.

Liam twisted off the top without answering. Not sure how to answer it.

“What?” Sean tilted his beer away from his mouth. “Is it some big secret?”

“Me working at her condo? No.” Liam took a tentative swallow, still waiting for Sean to warn him off getting involved with another high-priced user.

“Well at least we don’t have to worry about you with her.”

Liam choked on the swallow. “Me with her?”

“Yeah, you know. Having a thing for her. I mean, you have to admit, the woman is hot.”

Liam started to get hot. Sean shouldn’t be noticing how hot Cassidy was—

Oh. Damn. Not cool. Not cool at all. Bros before hos. And she wasn’t even his ho—

Liam shut down that train of thought because that’s exactly what he’d thought of Rachel when he’d found out she wanted to live off the fruits of his—or any guy’s apparently—labor, simply by putting out to reap all the benefits. Classic definition.

But the same didn’t apply to Cassidy. Why that was worried the crap out of him. He had to keep some perspective here.

“Yo, Lee?” Sean waved a beer in his face. “You in there? Or did I just wake you up to the fact that your client is one hot babe?”

“Could you stop saying that, please? You don’t know her or you wouldn’t say that shit.”

“Shit? Are you blind? Or, wait. Did she turn out to have a soul after all? One that hasn’t been sucked dry by her father’s millions?”

“Drop it, Sean. I’m not in the mood.”

“Protesting too much perhaps?” Sean couldn’t keep the shit-eating grin off his face.

Liam wasn’t finding it funny at all. “I’m not protesting anything. You’re a moron if you think I’d go down that road again. End of story. I just want to get this place in shape to put it up for sale.
