Chapter 15

Shane found himself staring out of the window for what seemed like the millionth time that day. With a sigh, he pushed his papers aside and propped his face in his hands. It had been three days since Cait had turned her back on him at his farm. He felt like he'd been kicked in the gut and had barely been able to eat this week.

Like some lovesick puppy, he scoffed to himself.

He'd been forward with her, Shane thought. He'd done the things that a man was supposed to do when he wanted a real relationship with a woman. Shane had bought her flowers and deliberately didn't let things get out of hand at his stables. A small tug of lust hit him as he thought about Cait's trim body under his hands. Jesus, she was a firecracker, Shane thought.

Shane rose and went to stand at the window of his office. The water was a dazzling azure today and he longed to be out with the fishermen, away from the headaches of his work. Shane sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

What was with this week? It was like everything was falling down around him. He’d had Cait very literally in the palm of his hand and seconds later she was gone. And, now, his real-estate properties in Galway were mysteriously operating at a loss. He'd gone over the figures until his eyes blurred. Yet he'd been unable to find any discrepancy in the numbers.

Staring at the water, Shane imagined taking Cait out in the boat he planned to buy. He could all but see her at the helm, wind tousling her curls, urging him to go faster. He'd never met a woman like her before, all moods, laughter, and heart. Life before Cait seemed to dull in comparison. Shane sighed and shrugged his shoulders. This wouldn't be his first setback with Cait. Maybe he just needed to push harder.

Checking his watch, he realized that he was going to be late for the meeting with his manager to discuss the real-estate properties in Galway. Shane chuckled softly. If Cait had only given him the chance to explain about the blonde he could have told her that she was his employee, not his date. Though, Shane had kind of enjoyed her reaction.

The laugh died on Shane's lips. Though he enjoyed knowing that Cait was jealous, he also hated knowing that she was hurting. He'd tossed and turned almost the entire night after she had left. His body burned for her. His pride was another matter. Just how many times would he let Cait push him away before he gave up, Shane wondered.

Shoving the papers from his desk into a folder, Shane hit the lights and went to meet Ellen, his manager, for dinner.
