Chapter Twelve

Jared

His penthouse felt empty. He felt empty because he didn’t have Evie’s company. He should have invited her to his place for a few more rounds of sex. He’d almost issued the invitation, but he refrained. The second they’d finished, she started freaking out. He’d felt it before she even said a word. He’d nearly gone into a panic, too. After getting into her panties again, craving her, he still wasn’t over her. One more time wasn’t enough. The realization that he would want more of Evie had hit him before he buried himself into her warmth.

The panic had started right when he’d stood between her thighs with her perched on his desk. He’d looked down at her and had been hit with an emotion that was too dangerous for his psyche to handle. Gazing at her, he’d felt like a jerk for rushing things, for taking her in his office. She should have been wined and dined first, then taken to his place to be made sweet slow, love to where every inch of her body would be touched and savored, where he’d take his time to ensure her pleasure. Have her screaming and moaning and drunk with pleasure. He wanted more than one more hook up. Evie was nowhere near out of his system, and that was terrifying.

There was no way he could have verbalized that to her. She would have likely run from his office at breakneck speed. The woman was determined to keep him at arm's length. For the first time in his life, that bothered him. For the first time in his life, his feelings had been hurt after what was supposedly just sex. The words she’d thrown at him had cut deeper than he cared to admit. The way she’d instantly withdrawn emotionally had cut even deeper. But she had been in defense mode. He knew that mode well, which was why he couldn’t be mad at her. How many times had he treated women the way Evie had treated him? So, he’d pulled up his big boy pants, shoved aside his hurt, and gave her the impression that all was well.

“Karma really is a bitch,” he huffed, throwing back the bourbon he’d been nursing. Evie had managed to do to him, what he suspected he did to countless women because he was afraid to get too close. But, he still liked her a lot, and he would make it his mission to get her into his bed. Surely, they could fool around a bit more until either he or she had enough, without complicating their work relationship too much. After all, he was Jared Hawthorne, the king of compartmentalizing.

Making his way to his huge bed that also felt as empty as his apartment even with him sprawled in it, he stared at the ceiling for god knew how long. Not once did his mind shift from thoughts of Evie. When Evie prancing around in his mind became too much, he let out an aggravated growl and picked up his phone from the nightstand.
