“I’ll believe that when I see it. Oh, and Eli?”
“Yeah?”
“Next time you call me, you’d better have something to tell me other than you’re falling for your client.”

“—The plane will be ready later today, and I’ll get her on it and back to Florida.”
I jerked back from where I was hiding and ran over to the bed, grabbing my shoes. There was no fucking way I was sticking around to be put on a plane. I’d take a boat if I had to, but they weren’t putting me on a plane. I slipped into the bathroom and tried to concoct a plan to escape, but the guys were swarming all over the place. My best chance was getting to Kavanaugh. He was so easygoing. I could probably distract him long enough to get what I needed.
Taking a deep breath, I opened the door, thankful that Eli was still outside, and tiptoed through the room to the back door. Once I was outside, I could slip into my shoes and be on my way. There had to be someone around here that would help a woman like me find a ride.
As casually as I could, I walked out the back door and sat on the chair on the back porch. Kavanaugh saw me out of the corner of his eyes, but made no move to come over and chat. That was going to be a problem.
“Tell me, how is a guy like you still single?”
He was leaning against a tree and trying to ignore me, but I didn’t miss that sexy twitch of his lips.
“Is it because you’re too handsome?”
Still, he didn’t say anything.
“What’s your first name?”
He sighed heavily, his eyes trained on everything around him as he did his best to not hear me. I was guessing this had something to do with the fact that I was sleeping with Eli, and as much as Kavanaugh loved to tease him, he didn’t want to end up with a broken nose.
“So, your dad is a senator. What’s that like?”
That got his attention. He turned to me with murder in his eyes, then stalked over to me with all the rage of a bull that had a red flag waved at him.
“Don’t ever talk about him to me.”
My eyebrows shot up in surprise. He hadn’t looked at me like this the whole trip. “You ask me questions.”
“I said don’t talk about him,” he snapped.
“Whoa.” I know he told me not to mention him, but holy shit, that guy was always in the news. “So, you’re his son. What’s the big deal?”
He rolled his eyes, clearly pissed that I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
“I’m sorry, but it’s pretty impressive to have a senator for a father.”
“It’s nothing to me.”
“Except that he’s some big shot and—”
“He’s a jerk,” he snapped.
Man, Kavanaugh had some serious hatred for his father. It wasn’t that long ago that he was all over the news, but I couldn’t remember why. I remembered a picture of a guy showing up alongside the senator, but it definitely wasn’t Kavanaugh. This guy was about the same age, but had dark hair. Then I remembered why he was in the news.
“He was your brother, wasn’t he?”
Sympathy filled me as I watched Kavanaugh’s whole body tense. They were brothers. That had to be it.
“Two years older than me,” he grumbled.
