Primal Instinct

by Tara Wyatt

  Especially the blame he deserved. After all, it was his fucking fault his mother wasn’t around anymore.

  Phone jammed between his ear and his shoulder, he pressed the ignition button and tugged his seat belt on.

  “You check on De Luca?”

  Sean grimaced. “Didn’t get the chance. Something else came up, but I’ll check in with him by phone. I’m sure he would’ve made contact if there were any issues. I’m on my way back to the office now. Did you get the proposal I sent about the revised marketing plan?”

  His dad sighed heavily. “It’s a waste of fucking time. Not to mention money.”

  Sean leaned his head back against the seat, his jaw clenched tight. Nothing was ever good enough. “Let’s talk about it back at the office.”

  “Fine. But it’ll take a lot to convince me you can pull it off.”

  Sean almost snorted. Story of his fucking life, right there.
