“Well, it did.”

“I got that from the conversation you had with Dad.”

We are both silent for a minute.

“Why didn’t you tell me about first?” Shane asks, leaning against the stairwell.

“You wouldn’t have wanted to know.”

“True, but now that I do know, I would have rather heard it from you directly. Like come on, you told Dad you had sex with TJ, and not me?”

I start to giggle and Shane laughs.

I really did tell my dad I had sex with his son’s friend.

It is a weird thought.

“I guess you always were Daddy’s little girl. That always annoyed me. Watching you run to Dad any time I teased you when we were kids.”

“What else was I supposed to do? Just take it?”

“I mean, that’s what you did with TJ. I don’t remember you ever tattling on him, but now I see that’s because you liked him, too. Oh, goodness, if you two end up together, I am going to vomit.”

This time, I do shove Shane.

A loving shove, though.

“We are so not ending up together. After I win in court next week, he’s going to hate me almost as much as I hate him.”

With that, I walk past Shane and go to my room.

I had two good encounters with my family today, and I reflect on that as I get ready for bed. It beats reflecting on my night with TJ.

My father and I are closer than ever, and Shane doesn’t hate me for having sex with TJ, even if I hate myself a little for that.

Here I go, thinking about that night again.

Will it ever stop? I ask myself as I stare up at the ceiling.

I gave in to my hormones, and now have to live with that. I regret that night, I really do, but part of me also cherishes it. I am thankful that my first time itself was pleasurable, even if the aftermath is a mess.

In three days I will be face to face with TJ again as I sue him and the rest of Druk Technologies.

I’ve been preparing ever since our scandalous night together, and even though just earlier today I was determined, there is something in me that is filled with fear and regret for how the case will turn out.

TJ will surely hate me, and I’m not sure if I can live with that for the rest of my life.

Chapter 12 - TJ

I show up to work the most disheveled I have been since we opened Druk Technologies.

Sleep has been escaping me, and I have hardly eaten. Not seeing Taylor isn’t just messing with me, but my dragon. He has been moaning and crying since we woke up and she was gone. It is becoming clearer and clearer that Taylor is more than just a girl to me, but something much more important.

“What is up with you?” Liam asks as he looks into my office.

Glancing up, I see him pushing up his glasses.

“Nothing.”
