Fuck.She pounded the steering wheel and growled through clenched teeth.
She didn’t know what had gotten into her to make her tell that kid her business like that. He’d just made hersoangry, and she had no patience for entitled kids who got by without having any real struggles.
“So your Daddy worked a lot. Big fuckin’ deal, kid. Sounds like a good problem to have.”
She got her phone attached to the car’s speaker system and had it dial Carine.
“Yes, darling?” she answered.
“I’m on my way to Shora. Is Theodore there? He sometimes shows up early so he can snoop when the project manager isn’t around.”
“Nope, not here yet. I talked to his secretary about half an hour ago about some other stuff, though, and she happened to tell me he wasbarelyon his way. He’d just left. You’ve got some time. Where’d you go?”
“I had to drop something off at Tim’s house. I’ll be back in Shora in thirty minutes or so.”
“You went all the way to Tim’s when he wasn’t there? Sounds like a waste.”
“Tim would probably think so.” Especially since Valerie hadn’t left him the gift of a particular aroma on his pillow.
“Uh-oh. What happened this weekend?”
“Nothing. And why should I tell you anything when no one will tell me what happened with Leah.”
“Maybe you should askher,” Carine retorted.
“Maybe I will.”
“That doesn’t mean you can’t tell me what happened with Tim.”
“Nothing happened. We went out on his boat and headed back when we found out Leah had gone home.”
“Really? So, you just sat on the deck and stared at each other for two days?”
“I don’t remember there being much staring happening.”
“Why, because you were fucking? That would make staring hard unless there’s a mirror in play. Oh, God. Was there a mirror?”
“Carine!” Valerie gaped. The woman had even less of a filter than Valerie had thought, and her estimation of it had already been pretty low.
“I told you I’m living vicariously through some of you. Throw me a bone here.”
“Can you really not find a nice guy to slap your ass and pull your hair? Is that what this is about?”
“I’m certain I could. Hell, if push came to shove, I could probably let Frank or Hal do the honors.”
Valerie very nearly steered her car off the road in thinking about those two boorish contractors trying to get bossy in the bedroom. “So, what’s the problem? I think you were going to tell me the night your mother was watchingTop Gun.”
“Well, it’s simple, I guess. I don’t want to separate the kinky stuff from the relationship stuff, and the kinky stuff I like isn’t exactly easy to come by.”
“What kind of kinky stuff?”
“Oh, you know. The usual kind.”
“Uh, no. The usual kind is easy enough to come by. They grow on trees around here I had a boat-building country boy dom fall right onto my lap.”
“Then obviously you haven’t spent enough time with him if you think Tim’s theusualkind. He must be holding back. Hmm. Anyway…”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
