Chapter Fourteen

Elle hopped on one foot as she yanked her shorts back on and ran for the kitchen, leaving Gabe on the couch. She took a deep breath as she picked up the phone and tried to sound like she hadn’t just been on the verge of orgasming. “Hello?”

“Ellie, what in God’s name took you so long? You can’t possibly still be sleeping. It’s nine o’clock in the morning. ”

She cast a guilty look toward the living room door and moved farther into the kitchen. “Hey, Mom. I was just cleaning.”

“Are you okay? You sound odd.”

Odd didn’t begin to cover it. Elle’s entire body was strung so tightly she wanted to scream. And not in a good way. Thankfully, there was nothing quite like the fear of God to douse any remaining desire she had. “Yes, I’m fine.”

“I see.” She didn’t sound convinced, but apparently it was a good enough answer because she started rambling about her and Dad’s upcoming trip to Maryland. Elle listened with half an ear, murmuring yes and no when needed, but the rest of her attention was trying to pinpoint what Gabe was doing.

Was he mad? She hoped not. Maybe it would have been better to let the phone go to voice mail again, but she’d never been able to do that, especially with her mother—especially since the woman refused to leave a message. Instead, she preferred to keep calling until Elle picked up. Footsteps thudded above her head and the shower turned on. Elle exhaled, relief and disappointment warring inside her.

“Ellie, are you listening to me?”

“What? Of course I am.”

Her mom sighed. “No, you’re not. I take the time out of my morning to try and talk to you, and you’re completely distracted. What’s going on?”

For one panicked moment, she was sure her mom knew everything. Elle bit her lip, pushing down the insane urge to confess. “Nothing, Mom. I’m just cleaning. The house is a sty.”

“You know we’ve talked about this—you need to put more effort keeping up your home. Good God, what if a man comes over and sees how disgusting it is?”

Considering there was a man here right now, she didn’t think her “disgusting” house would be a deal-breaker. Gabe wasn’t the type to care if things were immaculate. And, seriously, did she want to end up with a man who obsessed about things like that? Elle took a deep breath. “That’s why I’m cleaning.”

Her mom huffed. “At least you’re being proactive. I’ve set up a welcome home dinner for Ian when your father and I get back from Maryland, and I’d like you to come.”

That invitation should have gone without saying. Her mother was up to something. “What aren’t you telling me?”

“You’re being unforgivably rude right now, young lady.”

And she was avoiding the question. “Mom.”

“Oh, fine, if you insist. I’ve invited Sammy as well.”

She so couldn’t deal with talking about another man when her legs were still shaking from the almost-orgasm. “I have to go. We’re talking about this later.”

“I don’t know what’s gotten into you, Ellie, but I am not impressed.
