Brian had expected life without her to get easier over time. Wishful thinking. Jared had invited him to Miami to stay for a while, throwing a new slave out as bait. Tempting as it was, his heart just wasn’t in it. He didn’t want a slave. He wanted her. Unfortunately he’d driven her away. She wouldn’t even speak to him now, not that he could blame her. He’d been a complete asshole. It surprised him that she’d chosen to continue working for him. After that dreaded night two months ago he’d been sure she would quit. She hadn’t. Part of him wished she had. It would have been better for both of them. Even though she’d changed her schedule, avoiding him as best she could, it was still difficult for him to be at Donovan’s. He saw her around every corner, bent over his desk, breaking bottles of expensive whiskey. There was no getting around it. He missed her. Deciding to open another pub had proven to be exactly the distraction he needed. He’d been going over the costs and scouting locations in Tampa for weeks.
