started talking to Forrester, she thought her nerves would have only gotten worse, especially because of the tone in which he was speaking to her. He was flirting with her. She was sure of it. But something about him put her at ease. She wanted to stay talking with him. She would have happily stayed there talking to him all night long, but it was at that moment that Kelly beckoned her back over.
Reluctantly, Elle acknowledged her.
“I think I’ve got to go back over to my friend,” Elle said.
The way Forrester looked back at her made her heart pound. He didn’t hold back a thing. He just looked straight at her, into her eyes, and even though she stared right back at him, he refused to look away. The moment lasted for seconds, but it felt like hours. Elle took a deep breath. She had no idea what she and Forrester might have communicated to each other in that moment.
Chapter 12
Forrester
F ORRESTER WATCHED ELLE WALK BACK around the bar to her friend. He still didn’t know her name but something about her told him that she was going to be an important part of his life, at least for the immediate future. He’d always had an intuition for such things, and the look in her eye, the intensity of the gaze they’d shared, it meant something.
He watched her perfectly formed ass sway back and forth as she left him, and when she took her seat next to her friend, he looked right at her, making zero effort to hide his interest.
She was going to be his. She had to be. He had no doubt.
In fact, maybe she was the reason he’d come back to this town at all. Only God knew. Before he’d left, Faith and Lacey had given him plenty of reasons not to ever come back. In fact, they’d practically forbid it. But he’d insisted. He’d felt there was a reason.
Was it this girl?
She sure wasn’t like anyone he’d ever seen before. There was a secret strength in her, a quiet confidence beneath the surface. On the surface she was sweet and beautiful and lovely, but he knew that inside her there was something bolder, something more ferocious, something he could love. Call it a hunch, but he knew that once she knew the truth about him, once she knew everything he’d been through, she’d be the girl who could love him too. The one who could truly love him. And if he found a girl to love him, who knew, maybe she’d even give him a child.
He looked across the bar at her and shook his head. He couldn’t believe it. Here, of all places, he’d found a girl with the fire in her gaze that he’d been searching for his whole life.
Forrester ordered another whiskey and sipped it while one of the idiots from the booth put a song on the jukebox. Forrester recognized it vaguely, some stupid pop song from a few years back.
The guy who’d put it on then walked over to the girls and addressed them by name.
“Kelly, Elle, what do you say we get this party started?”
Forrester watched as the girls rolled their eyes and gave each other a look of disdain. He knew that neither of them was interested in dancing with the boy. He’d also gathered that they were the sons of important local politicians, and that that was the reason the bartender couldn’t do anything about them.
He wasn’t sure why he hadn’t stepped in yet to get rid of the boys. He didn’t like seeing women being harassed. He wasn’t the least bit afraid of the boys’ fathers. There wasn’t a thing in the world people from a town like this could do to harm him. Together with Jackson, Grant and Grady, he knew that there was no amount of trouble in a place like this that he couldn’t handle.
But something kept him from acting. He realized that it was his own curiosity. He wanted to see what the girl, Elle, that was her name, he wanted to see what she would do? What kind of a person was she? Would she put up with them? Would she ignore them? Would she ask for help? Would she give them what they wanted? There were so many ways she could play it. Forrester doubted that she
