Chapter Seventeen

In the two weeks of Grayson’s absence, he’d somehow become even sexier. His hair lay mussed, falling down on his forehead. The lines on his forehead were more prominent, and to make it worse, he stood in front of her with his hands deep in the front pockets of his jeans, unthreatening and approachable.

“I need to get back. The movie has probably started.” She tugged on Blue’s leash, but Grayson leaned down and swept up the pooch.

“You’ve seen the movie before.” He stroked the dog’s back, while seeming to gauge her reaction.

“That’s not the point. I came with John.” She pursed her lips.

She couldn’t yank the dog out of his arms. She wasn’t heartless. Not stomping away had everything to do with Blue’s position, not because Grayson had sought her out.

“I went on vacation.” Grayson stepped closer.

Shauna moved backward, bumped into the statue, and groaned. Rubbing the back of her head, she glared when Grayson chuckled.

“Are you sinking to a new low? You not only want to hurt my feelings, but like a little physical pain on me too?”

He shook his head before motioning with his chin for her to look up. She leaned back and tilted her head, and instant recognition came with the dawning realization there was no running away from Grayson Schyler. But it didn’t take a ten-foot gold statue of him to knock sense into her brain.

“You’re such an ass.” She crossed her arms.

“Yeah.” He lifted his shoulder and grinned. “Let’s go back to my place.”

She couldn’t keep going on this way, hot one minute, cold the next, and yet Grayson dangled her out of reach while plucking her heartstrings when the mood hit him. She’d had enough. Not willing to let him have control over her, she gently scooped Blue out of his arms and faced Grayson head on.

“I know this is hard to believe, but I’ve changed. I’m not hanging around Cottage Grove hoping for a little attention. I’m not naïve enough to believe for one minute you feel anything for me, except pity.” Her laugh came out harsh and pained even to her own ears. “I’m not a form of entertainment for you when you become bored with your private horde of women. So, if you’ll excuse me, I have a man waiting for his dog and his girlfriend and for my answer on whether I’m ready to take our relationship further.”

She took two steps, turned back around, and pointed to the doggy bag station behind him. “Oh, by the way, I think Blue left you a gift at the base of your golden statue. You might want to pick that up.”

She whirled around. Each step away from Grayson gave her more confidence. She held her head high and marched straight back toward the others, not stopping until she’d reached John. He scrambled to his feet and clutched her arms.

“What happened? Are you okay?”

She smiled. “I’m perfect. Let’s go home.”

It only took two seconds for him to read the need in her eyes, and he wrapped his arm around her waist and started walking.
