“No, sorry, I’m good. Are we still on for dinner tonight?”

She made a face and scrunched her nose. “I thought I told you I had to take this supplier out to dinner. He’s flown in from Dallas to meet with me. Their company doesn’t sell to very many boutiques so if I land this it would be amazing.”

“A guy, huh?”

Mallory walked over to me. Smiling, she reached up on her toes. “You have nothing to worry about. Now go take off that condom and toss it before you fill your office with the scent of sex.”

I laughed. “The scent of sex?”

“Yes!” she said, hitting me playfully on the chest. “I swear when we have sex in the stock room I can still smell our sex hours after you leave.”

Snarling, I added, “Hell, I hope Karen can’t smell our…sex.”

She chuckled again. “I’ve got to run. I’ll call you tonight once I get back home. Lucy is babysitting so I won’t be out too late.”

Spinning around, Mallory headed for my office door. “Talk to you later!”

“Yeah, I’ll see you later,” I called out as she walked through the door and shut it.

I made my way into the bathroom and discarded the condom as I began to clean myself off. Leaning my hands against the sink, I stared at my reflection and spoke to him like he was a long-lost friend.

“You’re an asshole. You just fucked your girlfriend to forget about your ex-girlfriend. How did that work out for you, dick?”

After splashing water onto my face, I made my way back into my office when something caught my eye. It was a single key on a little key ring. The moment I bent down and picked it up I knew whom it belonged to.

I thought for a few moments before making the decision to head over to the vet clinic. No sense in making Harley drive all the way back over here, plus I’d be able to find out what in the world she was talking about earlier.

Writing a note to let Karen know I would be gone the rest of the afternoon, I placed it on her desk and locked up the office. The entire time I drove to the vet clinic I kept trying to talk myself into turning around. All I really had to do was call her and tell her she dropped the key. Maybe I was tired of running from her. If she was going to be living in Oak Springs, we needed to make peace.

By the time I pulled up and parked behind Harley’s SUV, I had successfully talked myself into dropping the key off with the front desk and leaving. I wasn’t ready to face Harley after just having had sex with Mallory.

What a douche I am.

Unfortunately, there were no other cars around but Harley’s.

Shit.

I pushed the truck door open and slid out. Glancing around, I smiled at the small touches Harley had already made to Doc Harris’s place. I guess it was her place now.

My feet felt like lead as I made my way up the steps of the porch. I reached for the doorknob and turned. As I walked in, I could hear Harley talking to someone. Remembering where Doc’s office was, I headed that way.

“I know you told him to leave me alone, but he came by the clinic today. He said he was going to take it from me. I panicked and went and saw Tripp but he was…well, he was busy. I need to look into getting a lawyer. I don’t think he is going to walk away from this like you thought he would. Doc, we’re missing something if he is making this claim.”

Frowning, I stepped into her office. She was standing with her back to me, looking out the window. Doc Harris had opened his practice on a couple of acres right outside of town. It was perfect because it had room for larger animals, as well as small ones.

“I’ll go to San Antonio on Monday to try and find a lawyer. I know, Doc, I know it would be easier to have him help me, but that’s not going to work. I’ll go to San Antonio on Monday.”

My heart started beating faster. Harley was in trouble. And there was no way I was going to let her find another lawyer, no matter what this was about. Not when she came to me first.

Clenching my fists together tightly, I prepared to jump off the ledge, right into the fire.

Hell, I was fixin’ to jump into the abyss.

“No, you won’t. You already have a lawyer.”

Harley spun around and stared at me with a stunned expression. She tried to hide it, but I saw the corners of her mouth lift before she looked away from me.

“Doc, let me call you right back.”
