Love Renewed (Entwined Hearts #3) Read Online Free Page B

God’s sake Dane, I’m not chasing your family around. I couldn’t go to my gym for a few weeks as they were renovating. I didn’t want to go to a female filled bitchy gym, so I opted for Murphy’s.” She shrugs her shoulders. “Figured there would be fewer women, so less drama. What I didn’t expect was to see you there, working out with a guy who I’d chatted to a week or so before. Anyway, I overheard you all talking and pieced it together. Also, there have been whispers back at work, between the models. Whispers that you and Soph had…well, you know. Apparently, Soph and Carlie got into it and some things came out. Still, I now know that Soph is with your brother. I briefly considered him…before realising he has a girlfriend.” She winks at me and I’m not sure whether it’s just her usual brand of cocky, or if she’s expecting a response. I don’t give her one. Instead choosing to just stand there with my arms crossed and considering whether it’s time to end this ‘thing’ with Cass.
    She grunts and shakes her head, bringing her hands up into fists and shaking them in the air. “You drive me crazy Dane! I can see what you’re thinking. I’ve known you and been fucking you for eight years! Gah! You’ll be the death of me!” Shaking her head and mumbling to herself, she looks back at me. “Listen, I still don’t want anything more than fucking from you. I have no intention of interacting with your family. It was an accident, but taking into account the situation we have going on, I figured it would be best to be honest with you. I thought I owed you that much. Shit, now I wish I hadn’t have bothered!” She’s pissed and waving her arms all over the place to get her point across. I can’t help what happens next. I erupt with laughter, which makes her scowl.
    Propping herself against the headboard of the bed, Cass watches me with a small smile. When I stop laughing she whispers, “In eight years, I’ve never seen you laugh, not at work, not when I’ve spotted you out, and not with me. I like what your new family have done to you Dane. They’ve given you purpose and they’ve given you love.”
    My smile disappears, instead I’m now gritting my teeth and I have to physically reign myself in. She’s right. I’ve never been like this before. I’ve never let my control slip. It’s happening more often lately. I’m changing…and I’m not sure I like it.
    I take a breath and sit on the edge of the bed, my shoulders dropping. “I saw Nova,” I tell Cass and she springs back into a sitting position.
    “You did? The Nova?” she asks, her eyes wide. I just nod at her.
    “Wow, what happened?”
    “She doesn’t remember me.”
    “Bullshit!” she shouts jumping out of bed and pacing. “There’s no way that when someone meets you they would forget. Honestly, I’ve been trying to forget you for years!” She stops pacing and looks over at me with a wink and continues, “Trust me, I wish my body didn’t remember yours weeks after you’ve fucked it good and proper. Nobody fucks like you. And if I were the type of woman that wanted long term, I have no doubt that my mind would find it hard to forget you too. I can’t believe that—”
    I cut her off. “She had an accident, lost her memory. Now she doesn’t know me.”
    “Fuck,” she says sitting back down on the bed. “What are you gonna do?”
    Looking down at my bare feet and rubbing the back of my neck, I answer, “Honestly, I don’t know. My family want me to go and see her when I’m in Las Vegas next week. You’re the only other person I’ve ever told about her. What do you think?” I hate being vulnerable. I hate asking people’s advice. I rarely need help with decisions, that this makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. But feeling like some fresh advice may help me set my course, I wait for her answer.
    Cass stares at me for a moment. “You still love her?”
    “Yes.”
    “Then you have to try, right? What have
