Forbidden Harmony (Harmony Falls #3) - Elizabeth Kelly Page 0,139
He was still banging her. But not just her. He’s been having sex with some other woman from Willington and Crystal found out he was cheating on her too because…” she paused for dramatic effect, wiggling her eyebrows at Preacher.
He squeezed her ass. “Don’t leave me twisting in the wind here.”
“Harrison gave her herpes. He caught it from this other woman apparently and gave it to Crystal. Crystal told everyone. His entire firm knows, and I guess the partners had a long talk with Harrison about proper behaviour with his legal assistants and they pushed his promotion to partner to the back burner.”
Preacher laughed. “Couldn’t have happened to a nicer fucking guy.”
“He definitely deserves to have herpes and have his career screwed over,” Addison said. “But don’t tell anyone I said that because I have my sweet reputation to protect.”
“Your secret is safe with me, Sunshine. Now,” he reached over and shut the burner off, “what do you say we let this sauce sit for a bit and I’ll take you to the bedroom and eat your sweet pussy for you.”
“Why, Mr. Preacher,” she said, “what kind of girl do you think I am?”
“I know exactly what kind of girl you are, Miss Moore, and I love every sweet, dirty part of you.”
She giggled and put her arms around him when he picked her up. “I love you too, Simon.”
Harper cursed and wiped the condensation off the windshield. The weather was getting worse, with the rain bouncing off the windshield until even with the wipers on full blast she could barely see more than a few feet in front of her. She slowed down to a crawl and squinted through the glass, her hands clenched around the steering wheel and the beginnings of a tension headache lurking behind her forehead.
Sheets of water poured from the angry, dark sky. It was almost eleven and Harper cursed again, wishing that she had stopped at the motel a few hours back. Anxious to see her dad and just wanting to be home, she’d decided to push forward… a decision she was regretting.
She was barely doing twenty miles an hour and she considered pulling over and waiting for the rain to abate a bit when bright headlights shone behind her. The driver honked two long loud blasts, but Harper ignored him until with a screech of tires and the gunning of his engine, the car pulled around and flew past her. She caught a quick glimpse of his angry, red face before he sped past and dipped back into her lane, narrowly missing her front bumper.
“You smelly taint crotch hound!” Harper shouted as his taillights disappeared into the stormy darkness. A few minutes later, she breathed a sigh of relief. The rain was letting up a little and she could actually see the dark winding road in front of her. Another twenty minutes or so and she would be at her dad’s place. Hell, she could almost taste the strong, dark coffee he made.
She breasted a small hill and slammed on the brakes. The brakes, way past their prime, squealed in protest but did their job. She stopped inches from the back bumper of the dark car that had sped around her earlier. It was stopped in the middle of the road, its engine idling roughly.
“What the hell?” She threw the car into park, and picked up her phone, ready to dial 9-1-1 if the asshole even took one step out of his car. With a squeal of tires and a belch of dirty smoke from the tailpipe, the car took off down the road. Harper shook her head and shifted back into drive. She had just stepped on the gas when her headlights caught the reflection of eyes in the ditch beside the road.
“Shit.”
She parked her car well onto the side of the road before grabbing the silk scarf she’d been wearing earlier off the passenger seat. She stepped out into the pouring rain, not bothering to grab her jacket from the back seat. She was soaked to the skin instantly by the pelting rain. Goose bumps screamed to life all over her body and her blonde hair was plastered to her skull within seconds. She slipped and slid her way into the ditch, wincing as the ankle-deep water soaked her tennis shoes.
The dog lying in the ditch whimpered pitifully as she approached it.
