Chapter 13

Ashley stood and turned in the other direction. “I’ll be in the lady’s room.”

In horror, Chase watched as Reid passed their table and trailed after Ashley. Chase stood and followed, a pit forming in his stomach. Clearly, Ashley was in no state of mind to deal with the guy alone, and he wouldn’t let her. And yet, Chase couldn’t help feeling a twinge of disappointment at Ashley’s reaction. How was she still this affected by Reid? It had been a year and a half.

A waitress stopped right in front of him to set down several heavy platters for a table, and Chase was forced to take another path. When he found the restrooms, Ashley and Reid weren’t there. He checked the bar and then walked outside.

Ashley threw her arms around Chase. “There you are.”

She immediately pressed her lips to his and stayed there until he responded, his lips turning from frozen shock to willing participant. It was sweet torture. He could feel the panic and stress emanating from her, a trembling in her fingertips winding through his hair. He knew it was all an act, and yet he continued to kiss her, every press of his lips a message that she was desired, that she could count on him. When she pulled away, he took a deep breath and looked into her eyes, already seeing the apology written there.

She turned back to her ex. “Reid, this is my boyfriend, Chase.”

Reid was staring at them with a bored poker face, though Chase could see the irritation and anger he was hiding. “Hi, I’m Reid.” He held out a hand.

“I know who you are.” Chase didn’t shake his hand. “I think you missed the lady’s room, Ash. It’s just inside and to the right.”

Thankfully, she took the hint and headed inside.

Reid moved to follow, and Chase blocked him. “I don’t think so.”

“I’m headed back to my date.” Reid looked him up and down. “Ashley and I were just catching up. Calm down, man.”

Chase let him by, the adrenaline from his anger and that amazing yet defeating kiss coursing through his body. He took a couple deep breaths of the warm night air and went inside to hear Ashley’s explanation. He wasn’t looking forward to it.
