with a sneer on her face. “Don’t hold your breath.”
All she could hear as she walked away was his laugh thundering across the wind. Bastard knew how much she desired him. It was almost futile to resist him. She was determined to hold off as long as possible, though. Ginnifer had a lot on her plate. The first thing was a nap and then an article to write before dinner. Dallas Novak would have to wait until she wanted him so much she couldn’t resist him any longer. What he didn’t know was that Ginnifer didn’t really believe in denying herself once she made up her mind about something. She had already decided she was going to give Dallas Novak the ride of his life. But she would choose the time and place and wouldn’t be goaded into doing something until she was good and ready.
Chapter Ten
Ginnifer stormed into the cabin and slammed the door shut. Pissed wasn’t quite the word to describe the level of anger flowing over every inch of her body as she made her way across the room. In all her life she had never been as furious as she was in that moment. When she told Dallas she had to deal with Tori, she had meant it. There was about to be a reckoning, and she wouldn’t be held responsible for the damage inflicted. Tori was lounging on her bed browsing through a fashion magazine and chewing on her bottom lip. Her legs were crossed at the ankles, and she was leaning against the headboard as she flipped the pages. She didn’t even bother to look up when Ginnifer stalked toward her with a purposeful stride. As she neared the bed, Ginnifer noticed the wires of headphones peeking out from behind Tori’s long caramel hair and her phone sitting next to her on the bed. Music blaring through the headphones completely blocked out all the noise of her surroundings. Tori must seriously need some de-stressing if she was listening to music. It was her way of drowning out the world around her and recalibrating her senses. Well, too damn bad. They had some things to discuss, and Ginnifer didn’t give a rat’s ass if Tori needed to relax. Stomping the remaining distance to the bed, Ginnifer yanked the headphones out of Tori’s ears and angrily said, “You created a mess, damn it, and now it’s time to help fix it. Get off your ass and help me figure this shit out.”
Tori looked stunned at Ginnifer’s angry gesture. It didn’t take her long to gain her composure. She raised one eyebrow, looked up at her, and said, “What the hell crawled up your ass and died? Since when are you the psycho bitch in this relationship? Who the hell are you and what did you do with my best friend?”
Ginnifer started pacing back and forth across the cabin with her arms flying up and down. Each motion jerked out as her anger heightened. Her face was flushed red, and her breaths came out in heavy pants. She began to talk nonstop with each step of her foot across the wooden floor. “I’ve had the worst twenty-four hours of my life. First, I had jet lag from hell. I get here to be damn near groped by this hot cowboy who turns out to be Emma’s older brother, Dallas. The things that man has said to me—I, wow, there are no words to explain it all. He is so sexy and he always leaves me feeling flustered. Never in my life has a man made me feel so twisted up inside. And damn it, you—you, it’s your fault I haven’t had any coffee today. If you hadn’t woke me up this morning, I wouldn’t be the raving bitch I am right now. Why the fuck didn’t you answer your phone when I called back?” Ginnifer had stopped ranting to look at Tori with daggers shooting from her eyes and her lips pursed up in displeasure. Her hands rested on her hips, and she started to tap her foot, waiting for a response from Tori.
Tori’s lips curled up into a half smirk as she watched her best friend rant and rave about the hell the past day had been for her. She looked her over, amusement glowing through her periwinkle-blue eyes. “Well, aren’t you
