Chapter Thirteen
The following morning, Caleb woke up ornery. He hadnât slept well the night before. It was the first time he and Addison had gone straight to bed without making love. Since theyâd reconnected in Texas, every time they were together, theyâd spent the night and much of the following morning being intimate, but last night heâd gone to bed horny, all because heâd opened his big mouth.
He knew why Addison was upset. It was because of what heâd said when heâd slid the garter up her thigh. Heâd told her that it meant nothing, that if she had any ideas that the symbol might mean marriage, she was wrong. Dead wrong. And now he had the blue balls to prove it. Damn! Why had he been so harsh?
When he opened his eyes this morning, heâd found the bed and his room empty. No Addison. He showered and eventually went downstairs to find she was having breakfast in the morning room with his parents and the rest of the Harts.
âGood morning.â He inclined his head to his father and kissed his motherâs cheek before joining Addison, who was sitting next to his mother.
âGood morning,â everyone echoed at the table.
Caleb kissed Addisonâs head as he sat beside her. âHow are you?â he whispered so that only she could hear.
âIâm fine.â
Fine? That didnât bode well for him. It meant he was definitely in the doghouse. He glanced up and saw Noah shaking his head. Caleb rolled his eyes. He knew he was in the wrong. Although heâd been honest with Addison from the start, he didnât have to be so crass and throw it in her face at such a sensitive moment. Heâd regretted it as soon as he said it, but it had been too late. The hurt look on her face before sheâd run away had spoken volumes.
It was no surprise that sheâd steered clear of him for the remainder of the evening. When sheâd returned to the ballroom, she hadnât spoken a word to him nor in in the limo ride with Noah and Chynna. As soon as theyâd made it back to the ranch, Addison had gone upstairs with barely a whisper of goodnight.
Noah had felt the chill and asked Caleb about it, but Caleb had shrugged him off.
âCan we talk?â Caleb asked in a low tone.
Addison didnât even look up. She merely answered, âIâm having breakfast.â
Caleb took that as his cue that she wasnât interested in talking about it now or at least not with an audience, so he leaned over to Bree at his side. âCan you pass the bacon?â
The rest of the breakfast was a typical Hart affair, with lots of laughing and talking. As expected, they rehashed parts of the wedding and reception.
âI canât believe you caught the bouquet, Bree,â Jada teased. âOf all of us,â she said, glancing around the table at the other single women, âyouâre the least likely to want to get married, considering youâre tied to your Crackberry, I mean BlackBerry.
