few missed messages?”
“Three is a few, Drew. I believe there were more than three.” Cyn turned her heated stare to Staci who had the grace to look ashamed. “Isn’t that right, Staci?”
“Maybe one or two more.”
“Right.” She didn’t buy that for a second. “After everything I’ve done for you, my father has done for you, you’ll still act like a bunch of—”
Drew rolled her eyes as if she was bored. “Get over yourself, Cyn. The world doesn’t revolve around you.”

“My world does and from now on, you’re not welcome in it.” She’d tried. Lord knows she had, but she wasn’t a saint nor was she a doormat. “The two of you have a month to find another place to live.” Cyn wanted to say a week, but she knew if she did they would be on her father’s doorstep by sundown.
Her words apparently caught their attention. “What?”
“You…you can’t do that,” Staci whined, rising to her feet. “Where will we go?”
“Not my problem.” And man did it feel good to say those words. Satisfied for the first time in a long time, Cyn moved from in front of the television and headed back to the kitchen.
She was headed off in her path though by Drew, who was no longer looking so pleased. “This isn’t over. Not by a long shot.”
“Oh, but it is.” Cyn brushed past the angry woman. She would no longer let her family obligations deprive her of those things she wanted in life. And Parker was number one on her priority list. Her father was just going to have to understand. As for Drew, Staci and their mother, she didn’t really care if they understood or not. It was her time now.
No matter how many times Parker saw Cyn, it was always as if he was looking at her for the first time. Standing outside The Glass Slipper, he peered through the window and watched her work. Not that she was working. With the exception of Cyn and an older African American man, the shop was empty. Not that it seemed to bother Cyn. She was sitting on top of the counter as she talked to the gentlemen, smiling and laughing with him as if he was an old friend.
Just watching her smile brought a smile to his lips. She looked as lovely as he remembered. She was dressed in a mauve, short sleeve shirt and a matching floral skirt that showcased her sexy legs in the hottest of ways. It seemed as if it had been years since he’d last seen her, not merely a couple of weeks. With his work schedule and hers, they www.samhainpublishing.com 81

hadn’t been able to get together. They talked every day, several times a day on the phone, but it wasn’t the same.
Despite being horny as hell, he’d purposely made sure all of their phone calls were as non-erotic as possible. That was until last night. Thanks to a little breathless moan on her part and a willing cock on his, their goodnight call turned into a good night phone call.
Dirty words merged into heady moans, which were soon over taken by guttural groans as they came together. Although the orgasm was much needed and long overdue, it paled in comparison to the real deal. Parker didn’t want his hand. He wanted Cyn. So much so he blew off his meetings today to come see her.
And it was well worth the headache he’d have when he flew home tomorrow afternoon. She didn’t know he was there, in fact she didn’t even know he was coming to town, which allowed him to view her in an entirely different way, unguarded. Parker sometimes felt she erected a wall around herself to keep him at a distance. It wasn’t going to work though. He was too stubborn and falling too deeply in love with her to allow that to happen.
Unable to wait a moment longer to have her in his arms, Parker opened the door and walked into the shop. When the bell above dinged, two sets of similar eyes turned in his direction, but he was only interested in one.
A soft gasp escaped Cyn before she jumped off the counter and ran full force into his
