CHAPTER 16

Layne pushed off the couch, making his way toward the den on the opposite side of the house. He needed a drink. Needed something to stop the wicked throb in his head. Setting his phone on a nearby shelf, he glanced at the screen one more time. Just incase he’d zoned out and missed Faith’s text.

No message populated his screen. But a picture of him and Faith did. One they’d taken the weekend at Jerry’s, when they’d spent the day at the beach. Before he realized that their relationship would always be about one thing. Sex.

He hadn’t minded at the time. Not until he noticed the closeness forming between Dylan and Heaven. To see two people look at each other the way they did. He never imagined something like that could happen. Except in the movies.

The memory of that night continued to play in his mind. How he and Faith had slipped away to find a secret spot. The rush of doing it out in public, taking a chance on getting caught, he loved that about her, at first.

When they’d walked up on Heaven and Dylan on the deck, something in him snapped. Seeing her lips pressed to his, the way he held her body against his body, like neither had a beginning or end. It was too much.

Granted, he just wanted to protect Dylan in the beginning. God knows his best friend was the romantic of the two. And while he razzed him for being such a sap, it pissed him off when he’d see a woman trying to screw him over.

He didn’t know Heaven at the time. Hadn’t taken the chance to get to know her. For more reasons than he wanted to admit. And it proved to be a mistake. Instead of taking the time, his focus shifted to Faith, and the many sex-filled minutes they spent together.

Forcing the thoughts from his head, he cursed himself for allowing them to enter his mind. This was the reason he’d left Dylan’s and returned home. It sure as hell wasn’t to see Faith. He could have sent anyone over here to keep an eye on his things while she removed hers. He’d come here to escape Heaven.

A lot of good that did. She hadn’t left his mind in the last week. What made him think it would happen now? Maybe because he thought Faith would be here to distract him.

Pouring himself a shot of whiskey, he replaced the amber filled bottle on the shelf before tipping back the glass. He held his breath as the liquid burned his throat. A few more of these and he could forget about all his problems.

His eye found the clock on the wall. Just past eleven. Guess Faith decided to stand him up. Again. Damn her. He hated her for screwing with him. They’d put each other through enough misery in the last few weeks. It needed to stop.

Screw it! He’d go back to Dylan’s. Maybe sit outside the house and monitor the grounds.
