Chapter 32

Lucas

It was not good to live in denial. That was not the way I was wired.

Although I had tried to tell myself that I was going to New York for business, it was a lie. It was time to face the truth.

I had feelings for Drew Ellington and until I dealt with them, I would continue to go over it in my head without reaching a resolution. I hated loose ends and there was only one way to solve this. If I wanted her, I would tell her and, depending on her response, I would take it from there. I wasn’t one of those guys who would sleep around in an effort to get her out of my system. No.

The only person that could help me get it out of my system was her. No one else. Other women held little appeal to me and I hoped the same applied with her. I had kept Aaron busy and came close to committing murder when her told me they had been intimate. He said it only happened once but the consuming rage and jealousy I felt was unlike anything I’d ever experienced.
