Infatuation (Club Destiny #4) Page 82
Author: Nicole Edwards

It was then that he was grateful for his overabundance of patience because what he read infused him with a blinding rage so violent he damn near crushed his phone with his bare hands.

“Did you give this to the police?” he managed to ask, though he could feel the muscles in his neck straining as he fought the urge to lash out at someone for allowing this to happen to her.

McKenna shook her head. “How would that help? It would only bring light to this situation, and until Luke and Logan figure out what they want to do, I wasn’t about to be the one to raise any more interest.”

Tag didn’t like the answer. Not one fucking bit.

Based on the shit Crawford was spewing, McKenna very well could be in danger, and as much as he liked and respected Sam and Logan, Tag wasn’t capable of sitting back and allowing this to go further. If Crawford was the one who tore McKenna’s office apart the way she described, the man was on the edge. And, if they weren’t careful, he was about to go over.

“I want to drop the lawsuit against Susan.” Luke spoke for the first time since he walked into the room.

Tag jerked his head toward him. “What?”

“You heard me. I want to drop it. Sierra won hers, so there really isn’t any more we can do. As we all know, nothing is going to stop her from getting what she wants.”

“And what does she want?” McKenna asked.

“Fuck if I know,” Luke growled, his normal, disgruntled tone letting everyone in the room know what he thought of the situation.

“She feels as though she was jilted by Luke and Cole, right?” McKenna asked no one in particular. “And if I had to guess, no one has approached her civilly because of the way she’s acting out, am I right?”

Tag glanced back at Logan and Luke. McKenna had nailed it accurately because Luke and Cole both had tried to talk to Susan, but Tag knew without a doubt there wasn’t anything civil about the conversation.

Since the day Luke called him, advising him to file the lawsuit for breach of contract, he’d been irrational any time her name was mentioned. Even Logan had tried reasoning with Luke, but he failed just like the rest of them. So, Tag had done what he was hired to do.

And yes, Sierra had won the lawsuit Susan filed against her accusing her of misrepresentation, and Tag had sat back watching the entire thing play out. He hadn’t been Sierra’s legal counsel because he was a corporate attorney, but the man she had hired was one of the best Tag knew.

Granted, it didn’t hurt that Susan really was bat shit crazy. He was surprised the judge was able to keep a straight face anytime the woman showed up in court. He certainly hadn’t been able to.

“What are you suggesting?” It was Logan’s turn to ask.

“I don’t know.” McKenna dropped her head into her hands.

And there lie the problem. They continued to circle back to the same answer every time. No one knew what to do, how to handle it, or even what the next step might be.

It was beginning to piss Tag off because quite frankly, the group surrounding him were some of the smartest people he knew and not a single one of them, himself included, had made it this far in life by not solving problems. There was some way they could get out of this, maybe not entirely unscathed, but there had to be some way.

Tag was just worried that the McCoy brothers were going to take matters into their own hands after this. And there lie the other problem.

They were going to have to beat Tag to it.

Chapter Thirty Three

McKenna managed to get out of the XTX building without having to talk to Tag one on one. Unfortunately, she knew her good luck had run out the moment she pulled into her driveway. His car was parked on the street, and he was standing beside it. Not sitting in it, but standing beside it.

She was tempted to hit the button to close the automatic garage door once she pulled safely inside, but she knew that would be childish. Not that she really cared.

She didn’t.

She took her time gathering her things before slowly exiting the car. Taking her time didn’t help to strengthen her resolve any. Now she was standing just outside of her car, staring at the provocative man who still looked intensely sexy even with that grim look on his face. As she stood in front of him, McKenna realized her spacious two car garage had never felt smaller than it did right then.

Fine. If he wanted to talk, they could have it out right here because she was not letting him into her house. She watched as he turned his back on her and went to the entry door that led into the house.

Shit. She was letting him into her house.

McKenna had no choice except to follow because he was standing at the open door waiting for her. She refused to act like a petulant child, although she felt she was more than entitled.
