His Porsche and James’s Jaguar were back at the leasing company, and they were reduced to their Shamrock Construction work truck and the beat-up pick-up they’d shared in high school. Degrees in business, architecture, and award-winning house designs had done zip to insulate them from a sagging economy.Besides the money issue, James was still on edge about his “premonition” of Jesse and Jackson. He’d spoken to both brothers this morning...at six AM. Jared was pretty sure James hadn’t slept all night and wasn’t taking Jared’s news well.“I can’t believe you. Our asses are on the line and you have the perfect opportunity to find out what underhanded crap is going on with McKenna Construction that’s putting us out of business. But instead of checking things out, you’re going to go apologize for kissing her?”“Yeah, I am. I shouldn’t have coerced her into it.”James pressed his palms to his temples. “A Weldon kiss gave that girl the best five seconds of her life and you’re going to apologize and walk away? Either her ex knocked a screw loose in your brain or she castrated you. If McKenna Construction was being run by a man you’d have no qualms about checking things out.”Jared frowned. Considering Rocky’s response to his kiss, he couldn’t argue about it being a damn good five seconds. Hell, it might even be the best five seconds of his life as well. He didn’t want to “walk away”
