He was being used. Kyle was well aware of that. Jennifer was avoiding her son.
Mostly because of her guilt. She was blaming herself for what had happened with Reggie’s idiot father and that fiancée who’d left Reggie. He understood that.
Jennifer was pathetic over her son. Always trying to coddle him in a way Kyle himself had never experienced. Reggie had been chafing under his mother’s pampering since they’d met in high school.
It had been one of the things that had first attracted Kyle to her eleven years ago when he had first met her and her husband.
Reggie was very lucky to have a mother that gave a damn about him.
Kyle’s mother had been killed when he had been four. His father had made her out to be a whore. That had never been in doubt in Kyle’s mind. She’d died in her lover’s arms during a house fire, while he’d been with his father.
His father had never remarried. Victor Scott wasn’t exactly a trusting man. He had plenty of female companionship, but no woman would ever get into his father’s coffers again.
Even with a prenuptial.
Still, his father liked woman almost as much as Kyle did. Young, gorgeous women with bodies that were utter perfection.
Reggie had never been like that. He liked women—Kyle had caught him in bed with a woman a few years back, so he was pretty certain he did—but Reggie was the quiet relationship kind.
Jennifer’s influence. She’d made it very clear to Kyle that she wouldn’t tolerate him or Reggie acting like dogs where women were concerned.
Right before she’d dragged Kyle off to her bed to initiate him in the ways of a mature woman.
Damn, he had always enjoyed fucking Reggie’s mother.
Wallace Henedy was a damned fool for going elsewhere. Jennifer had years of experience now.
He was a block away from Reggie’s when he saw the sirens. The ambulance.
Kyle wanted to get this finished, and deal with the three hundred eighty seven other things he had going on tonight.
Momentary irritation had him cursing.
Until he realized they were parked in Reggie’s driveway.
What in three fucks had happened now?
