Behr Brothers のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

The situation shouldn't still bother her. She had bigger problems and a bigger agenda. She was going to be the best electrician in this town. She was going to beat Wyatt at a competition and he was going to… Well, she didn't know that. She just knew that she was going to build a successful business and show him."No hard feelings, I just couldn't wait," Mr. Burns said.The fix hadn't been hard. She'd barely broken a sweat, but it was hers. With her business just opening, she had room in her schedule. Of course she jumped at the chance. Mr. Burns had been ready to call an electrician in the next town over, but Fiona had convinced him she could do that job.The rewiring had been easy, just feed the wires to where he wanted the switch. That was really all it took. Now the switch was almost back together and she was more than a few dollars richer. Or at least a few dollars closer to paying off the loan.The one she'd had to take out to help her family to make sure that her sister could sta

"Of course. It's a great opportunity," Wyatt said."Yes, it is." Fiona glanced behind her. He hadn't moved any closer to her, keeping a respectful distance. He didn't have any need for her to feel threatened. He might want to make her squirm, but not because she felt he'd attack her. She should remember that he wouldn't lay a hand on her. Against his better judgement, he said, "How are you doing, Fiona?"She finally looked him straight in the eye. As if she needed him to believe whatever she was saying, her gaze zeroed in on him. "I'm fine."He didn't believe her and part of him felt bad for her. Then again, she'd brought this on herself. If she'd stayed, they could have worked things out. Just because she was his mate didn't make things go smoothly, but it made him want to fight harder for her. He would've if she'd given any indication that she felt the same way.Instead, she'd left him a note, not even giving him a chance to help her with whatever her problems were. He would be bit

Bold? Not that Wuatt would turn down a woman for being bold, but this wasn't the woman he wanted to bring home with him. "I don't think so."Wyatt stood as Brenda pouted. "Is there something wrong with me?"You aren't Fiona. "No, there's something wrong with me."He left Brenda at the bar, sure she was shooting daggers at his back. He didn't care. She wouldn't exorcise Fiona from his system. Nothing would, except being with Fiona. How sad he was.In his truck, he dialed Sebastian's number. "Hey, bro," Sebastian said. "You get your proposal in?""I did.""You saw Fiona?""Yes.""How was that?" Sebastian said."She looked great.""Now she's back in your head. Damn, bro," Sebastian said. "She never left it. Now she's just not so easily ignored. She's my mate. What the Hell am I supposed to do? She clearly didn't want to talk to me.""There must be someone in the den you can talk to. Someone must remember a time when a mate rejected a bear," Sebastian said."Yeah. Like I want to share th

Fiona knew she had to swallow her pride and convince Wyatt that they should work together on this project. They only had two days to sort out their issues and get in a new bid. If she didn't get this job, she might not be able to pay for next semester's tuition for her sister. She certainly wouldn't be able to pay back the loan shark. This project would make her career. She didn't know how much of this to tell Wyatt. Would he be happy to see her fail? He might considering how she'd left. Then again, he hadn't seemed too bothered by her leaving since he hadn't followed her. Water under the bridge, she thought as she drove to The Three Behrs' Construction office. She was betting that he would be there, but she could just as easily run into Caleb or Sebastian. They could throw her out and then where would she be? She had no idea what kind of reception she'd get from them.When she pulled her truck next to the trailer of their latest job, she blew out a breath. Only Wyatt's truck was her

Wyatt looked at his beer then back at Fiona. "You pick the spot, but I want to finish my beer first."She noticed that he didn't offer her one. Nor had the bartender been down to take her order. She didn't want anything, but the service here could've been better. "Fine. Finish your beer. Then let's meet at your office."Maybe if she gave him the home field advantage he wouldn't notice that she was lying. She left him in the bar, then drove to his office. It was dark, but a light on the outside of the building lit the parking lot. Sebastian and Caleb were nowhere to be found, much to her relief. She didn't want an audience for this. She sat in her truck, tapping the steering wheel to the beat of the tune on the radio. Wyatt would probably make her wait. He was stubborn that way. Whatever. They'd get past this and start to work on the project. The sooner they finished it, the sooner she could put him behind her. The sooner she could pay off the loan shark. Not able to sit still, she c
