CHAPTER 14
David hummed to himself as he sat at his desk reviewing sales numbers. The numbers were good, as usual, but his cheerful mood had nothing to do with the business. In the three weeks since Sandra had agreed to give him another chance things had gone perfectly. Nice dates, telephone calls, and a few hot kisses that had him eagerly anticipating the day when things would progress to the bedroom, a place where the two of them always made sparks.
It was hard to walk away from herâliterally and figurativelyâafter their dates. Not only was he hard as granite after kissing her goodbye, but he missed her company almost immediately. When he would think back on his relationship with Sandra, he often missed the sex, her smile, the softness of her skin. Now he realized how much heâd also missed herâher personality, the way she listened to him, challenged him. She was always smart, but now those smarts were channeled in a career-focused woman. Seeing her after work in her suits or skirts aroused him and brought up a sense of admiration. Sheâd already made strides in rebuilding trust in Business Connections. Sheâd impressed the president of the technical college, had brought on new partners, and hired new staff to help realize her vision.
All of that so she could move across country. He tried not to think about it. He wouldnât let his old insecurities ruin things now. If she got the job offer, theyâd find a way to make something work. He had her back; he wasnât losing her again.
She wasnât making it easy for him. Her emotions were always hidden. Though he knew the desire for him was there, he couldnât tell if her heart was getting involved, a scary prospect when he wasnât doing much to protect his.
His desk phone rang. A glance at the caller ID showed it was a colleague of his who worked for a local business brokerage firm. David normally invested in and purchased small businesses that were on sale as a way to grow his own personal wealth. He hadnât bought anything recently, but that didnât mean Jeff wouldnât call with a prospect.
David hit the speakerphone button on his phone. âJeff McNesby, whatâs going on?â
âI was hoping youâd tell me,â Jeff said. Bewilderment and a hint of disappointment came through in his voice.
David sat forward in his chair. âWhat are you talking about?â
âOne of my co-workers just popped into my office and mentioned a potential client heâd spoken with. Apparently Henderson Automotive is for sale and heâs excited about the commission he could possibly make. Of course I said he was full of shit because thereâs no way my good friend David would consider selling his business and using someone else to handle the sale.â
David crumpled the sales report in his hand and flung it across the room. He snatched up the cordless phone and stomped around his desk to slam his door. The walls of his office seemed to close in around him.
