Chapter Nine

Taylor

While being chauffeured home on a private jet should’ve been an experience of a lifetime, especially considering I was in the company of some wonderful friends and my extremely sexy lover, the oppressive weight of the disaster that awaited us in San Diego hung over my head like a guillotine. I considered taking advantage of the drinks repeatedly offered to me by the jet’s overattentive staff, but Mac put a stop to that plan before it gained wings.

“I don’t think you’re going to want to be nursing a hangover on top of everything else when we get home,” he said stoically, taking the third drink from my hand.

“Oh, don’t be a party pooper.” I tried to reach around his large torso to grab the drink off the small table where he had just placed it. He took my hand and held it in his, kissing my knuckles with his typical breath-stealing adoration.

“Just think about it,” he softly exhorted. The past week in nirvana had turned my taciturn boss man into a loving hunk. In my mind, I replayed everything he’d done to me on the sheets, the beach, the balcony, even under the waterfall during our hiking trip.

His quiet voice shook me from my musings, though, dumping me right back into the mess we were dealing with. “We really have no idea what’s in store for us when we get home.”

“What’s all this we? That jackass didn’t break into your place, just mine,” I cracked.

“Hold up.” His auburn brows crunched over the newly sharpened shards of his green eyes. “Do you really think I’d let you deal with this alone?” Gone was the quiet, calm, serene version of the man, and as he spat his response, Colin Montgomery conveniently feigned interest in the same clouds we’d been cruising over for an hour. “When is it going to sink into that head of yours, Taylor? I love you, goddamnit. Part of loving someone is helping them through crappy situations like this. It’s not just the good stuff. It’s the bad stuff too.”

Thank God for Margaux, who came out of the restroom at that exact moment, saving me from having to further the discussion about love and feelings.

She plopped down in the seat across from me. “So what happened between the day you called me from the side of the freeway and this guy spray painting love notes inside your apartment?” She opened the bottle of water waiting for her beside her seat and chugged back about half. “God, I get so dehydrated when I travel.” Setting the bottle down, she stared at me and waited for me to fill her in on the details about John.

“I don’t know.” I rubbed my temples. “He’s a nutcase. Mac had words with him at the hospital.”

“Words with him?” she interrupted. “Is that a euphemism for argued with him? Threatened him? What? I mean, you ended up having to take an unscheduled vacation.”

Mac laughed. “Nothing slips by you, does it?”

Margaux slid out a sly smile.
