TWELVE

Val woke and stretched. Only as she rolled in the unfamiliar bed did she remember where she was—and with who.

Asher.

A man who fired every single one of her senses. No wonder when she got drunk she practically begged him to screw her. But did he take advantage? No! He chose to be a perfect fucking gentleman and walk away.

He probably thinks I’m a slut.

She revised that thought because a woman enjoying sex didn’t make her anything but healthy and normal. However, twice now he’d rejected her. She really needed to stop fantasizing about him because he’d obviously lost interest.

Asher lay sprawled in the bed across from her, blankets kicked off, wearing only a pair of shorts. Nothing else.

Damn that was a lot of nice flesh to ogle. Muscled. Tanned working-man style, the delineation showing around his upper arms and neck.

Just her luck, he caught her staring and offered a lazy smile. “Morning, princess.”

“Hey, Wookie.”

He groaned. “Can’t you think of something better?”

“You’ve hated every suggestion thus far.”

“I’m good with babe. Even honey.”

“Boring. What about snookums?”

“No one will ever believe you’re the type to use that.”

“Good point.”

“Stud, though…”

She snorted. “That remains to be seen.”

“Is that a complaint?”

“Yes. Why must you always be a gentleman?” With that rebuke she stomped to the bathroom. When she reemerged, he remained undressed, chest bared and showing a bit of hair arrowing down into a vee at his waist, hands laced behind his head, watching the weather network of all things.

“Supposed to rain hard the next few days,” he observed.

She frowned. “I told Meadow to be here tomorrow with the girls for the bachelorette. Will it be safe to drive? How will they even get here? The truck is broken.”

“Gary keeps an old Buick sedan in the garage. Thing is in mint condition and built like a tank. It can handle it.”

“Says you.”

“Rok won’t let anything happen to her.”

“Hmph.” It stung a bit that someone else would be the person Meadow relied on. While busier these days with her job, Val liked being the one Meadow turned to.

“Don’t be such a fussy pants. She will be fine. And so will you, my control freak of a princess.”

“Says the man not planning the most epic party.”

“Says who? You’re not the only one planning a sendoff.”

“Let me guess, strippers and beers.”

His wide grin held not a hint of repentance as he drawled, “You forgot shenanigans. Or have you not watched The Hangover?”

“I saw the first one. It was enough.”

“Would you feel better if I said I never drink?”

“Why not?” she asked. It hadn’t occurred to her he’d eschewed the wine the night before. As a matter of fact, she’d yet to see him imbibe. At the same time, they’d met only days ago, hardly enough time to know all his bad habits.

“I swore off hooch and dope after it got me into trouble when I was younger. The shit made me stupid. I vowed to never touch it again.”

“Do you miss it?”

“Nah. Turns out I don’t need booze to have a good time.
