Chapter 3

On Friday afternoon Jennica flipped the door sign to Closed. The week had been one of the slowest she’d had since opening the business. She thought about paying someone to man the shop on Saturday while she was out of town, but didn’t count on the citizens of Pineville being desperate for flowers. Not enough to justify hiring someone anyway. Besides, for the first time in months, she was headed home to Hays for the weekend and didn’t want to worry about an inexperienced person running her store.

Jingling a set of keys, she went over a mental checklist. Her packed bag was in the car. The lights at home were all off and the doors locked, she’d made sure before she left this morning. Her cell was in her pocket, and she would click the deadbolt to the shop on her way out. She was good to go.

Passing the Pineville Come Back Soon sign, she sighed. The two hour drive would be a long one. Maybe if she were in a good mood the trip wouldn’t be so bad, but her nerves had been off all week. On top of sales being near nonexistent, she’d tossed aside the idea of bondage bouquets, packing all the toys and restraints away the minute she walked back in her shop after leaving Scott at the diner. She hated that he’d seen what she’d created. How much more obvious could it be? Of course he wanted to help set up the website. Sex. Bondage. Whips. He probably thought it the best way to experiment, do a little research. Or maybe he thought of her as a one-night-stand type of person. Well, she wasn’t. Never had been, and never would be.

God, her mom… Virginia Moss and her hopes of Jennica finding someone stable in the new town. She’d never come right out and said it per se but every time they spoke on the phone, Virginia hinted at the possibility. And all thanks to Troy Reins.

The lying bastard.

Virginia had never showed much interest in her daughter’s love life. Not until Jennica met Troy. Hell, her mother had fallen for him harder than she had. She always said “Troy this” and “Troy that” and the cringe worthy “You two will make beautiful babies.” Jennica gagged a little at Virginia’s favorite saying.

She didn’t blame her mom for being enamored with the man, he was charming as hell. One of those men who had the gift of mesmerizing any woman by the sound of his voice—low and melodic, his words poured over his lips like warmed caramel. Not to mention his looks. At the time, he’d been the most gorgeous man Jennica had ever seen—deep set, striking blue eyes, sandy blond hair, tall, broad shoulders—he’d looked like he’d stepped right out of an underwear advertisement. Now though, the picture of him Jennica had in her thoughts made her nauseous.

The first few months they were together, she never quite understood why someone like him would be with someone like her.
