CHAPTER 10

“Please, tell me there’s some action on the horizon and I have to come in tonight.”

If Jon said there was nothing, Zane was willing to beg the command to call him back for something. Anything. He’d even volunteer to do paperwork at this point.

Jon laughed. “The parents driving you crazy?”

“Um, yup.” Zane wished it were just his father that was the problem.

Yes, he dreaded the inevitable conflict with his father as he drove at the actual speed limit—on purpose—just so he wouldn’t reach his parents’ house any sooner than he had to, but that wasn’t the reason he was ready to hightail it back to base. He still felt the real reason seared into his lips after that ill-advised good night kiss.

Thank goodness they were both expected back at their parents’ houses tonight. That had been the one thing to save him. The night might have ended differently if he’d been alone with Missy. If, God forbid, he’d had to walk her to the door of her own apartment where they would have been alone and unsupervised by the parental units, things could have gotten out of hand.

As it was he had to remind himself this was Missy. The girl who’d been like the annoying little sister he’d never had. The woman who his father was blackmailing him into dating—and into marrying, if Georgie had his way.

And dammit, Zane really did like her. If he’d stumbled across Missy at a party or in a bar, if she’d been a stranger he hadn’t watched grow up, he’d have been all over her. Literally.

“Well, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but it’s looking pretty quiet around here. Did you sign the contract yet?”

“No.” Zane sighed.

Jon’s question reminded him of the reason he needed to stick this out. One million reasons, to be exact. “I’m going to pin the old man down now and see if we can get that taken care of tomorrow.”

“That would be good. I’m afraid to let myself celebrate. Not until I see it in black and white.”

That was probably a smart thing, particularly in dealings with the infamous George Alexander. Zane didn’t trust him as far as he could throw him.

“All right. I’ll call you tomorrow. Bye.” He drew in a breath and disconnected.

Maybe he should have spent the night somewhere with Missy, to make Georgie extra happy. Then again, knowing how warped his father could be when it came to getting what he wanted, next the man would be suggesting Zane get Missy pregnant so she’d have to marry him. As fucked up as it sounded, Zane wouldn’t put it past his father to think that might be a good idea.

Shit. His father scared the hell out of him sometimes . . . and he was about to walk right into the snake’s den and willingly spend the night.

The house loomed before him. Zane stopped the car and stared at the silhouette against the night sky. The rooms were dark except for two, one at each end of the house.
