Chapter Thirteen

Jenna focused on Josh’s gentle fingers as he worked the shampoo into her head and massaged her scalp. His voice took on a hard edge as he mentioned his father. “What’s there to tell?”

“He’ll try to get one over on you. He’ll try to dominate you. I know how you hate that, so I just wanted to let you know that it’s no skin off my back if you push back. He can be…difficult.”

“Don’t sweat it. One day you’ll meet my father and you’ll understand my lack of fear in the parental department.”

“Will I?”

Jenna hesitated. She hadn’t realized what she’d said, nor had she meant it to have any real weight, but his response was confident and light, as if she was giving him an admission he was already aware of.

She didn’t have time to retort, because he finished rinsing himself off and got out of the shower.

“I’ll meet you downstairs, beautiful,” he said as he closed the shower door.

“You have no reason to gloat right now,” she stated to the empty space. “I am the one gloating. See? Hear my voice? There is gloating in it…”

“Hurry up,” was his smug reply.

Since Josh had already washed her hair, she soaped herself up thoroughly and rinsed off. He was gone when she reached the bedroom, so she took her time looking through the spoils Erika had bought. Most things looked like they would fit—Erika had been smart enough to pick mostly dresses and flowing pants that didn’t require an exact size. She did see some lingerie that was exciting. She would have to make use of that tonight, now that Josh could be coaxed. Although she had the feeling his guard would be back up. She would have to work extra hard to get around it.

She chose a casual but striking dress. She wanted to make an impression on Josh’s father. She didn’t know what kind of a man he was, but if Josh was as stoic and hardheaded as he was, and he didn’t get along with this guy, his dad was probably a real doozy.

She put on her flip-flops, happy that the dress nearly reached the floor. Her feet didn’t look all that glamorous, as Erika had said, and she didn’t want to talk about them. She didn’t want the memories that would come with the absence of her boots. She hoped they were being buried with the other evidence.

That was another reason she would have to seduce Josh good and proper. She needed to be so tired she couldn’t stay awake if she tried, and preferably couldn’t dream.

As she walked into the large dining room, she saw a man sitting at the head of a long oak table, facing the open-plan kitchen, with his hands folded and his back ramrod straight. He was grilling Josh about something, but fell silent as she entered the room.

His eyes swung to her quickly, and she immediately understood why Josh was nervous for her. This man was clearly not one to be trifled with.
