CHAPTER 9

Harlee

“But you are still in love with me, Harlee Bennet.”

The words that were supposed to sound like a joke echoed in my head and wouldn’t let me go.

I had been watching Cole the entire night. Everyone wanted to be closer to him, to talk to him, to touch him occasionally – especially women. But none of them saw what I could see in him. A man whose heart was still bleeding for the woman who dared to betray his pure love for her. I knew he still had feelings for Carol. Nothing about him would give it away, but I knew what to look for. As well as I didn’t like the way he was watching her – as if he still wanted to be with her, as if she still meant so much to him, he couldn’t breathe freely without her.

I didn’t like it at all. Why? I had no idea…

This night was all about revenge. I knew it even before Cole showed up, dressed up like the man of my best fantasies and saying things that would make any woman lose the remnants of her rational thinking.

This night was a stab in the back. And Cole was the one who threw the knife and let it fly across the room where his ex-wife was lost in the embrace of her fiancé.

This night was a revelation of so many things… The things that I never knew I was capable of feeling.

I felt completely naked under the look of the eyes that I missed so much. After three weeks of dirty messages and occasional calls, I was lost. Lost to everything and everyone, but this very man whose presence made my heart pound faster in my chest. I would never say it out loud, but the fact remained – every fiber of me longed for Cole and for him only. It scared me.

The dress had nothing to do with how I felt in his presence. There was something else, something so much more than my desire to cover my more than provoking outfit with a coat; something so much larger than what other men had ever made me feel.

A part of me was freaking out to admit it when the other part – the one that didn’t give a shit about tomorrow – wanted nothing less than a full surrender.

Which would mean listening to the promises Cole once said I would love hearing from him. And maybe, just maybe, I would say yes to whatever would follow all of the above.

“Is everything all right?” I didn’t hear Cole come closer to me, so when he touched my lower back, I almost jumped out of my shoes.

“Yes. Why?” I didn’t like the burning feeling where his hand was touching my bare skin. Or maybe I liked it too much to play it cool.

“You look sad. I hope it’s not because I did something wrong?”

I forced a smile. “Surprisingly, no.”

His eyes searched mine. “Then what is it? And just don’t tell me it’s nothing because I know something’s bothering you.
