Chapter 22

Mia

Almost as soon as Braxton left for the Rebel Riders clubhouse on Thursday, I started digging through my bag for something to wear for dinner that night. I was kicking myself for not bringing something at least a little nicer. Not that I thought he was going to take me someplace fancy. This wasn’t a date or anything like that.

I made a face, thinking about what he had said earlier. About how he hadn’t told Landon about this thing between Braxton and me because of course, it wasn’t a thing. It wasn’t a relationship, so it wasn’t worthy of mention. And I knew it was true; I just hated the way that he had said it. I didn’t know why it had rubbed me the wrong way, but it definitely had.

But I wished I had at least a skirt or something that I could wear out. Instead, all I had were jeans and shorts. I hadn’t packed thinking that I was going to end up going somewhere with Braxton. I had just packed thinking I was going to end up living out of a suitcase for a week or two, as long as Ray thought that it wasn’t safe for me to be there in Las Cruces. And jeans and shorts didn’t wrinkle like dresses and skirts did, so that’s what I had.

Now, though. I wanted to make a good impression, even if this wasn’t a date. I had told Braxton that I was going to spend my day at the beach, but really, I needed to go shopping.

I didn’t go overboard, but I did find a nice flowy red-and-white striped dress that fit me well and hugged my curves. It would work with the black sandals that I had brought, and I could throw on my teal cardigan with it if the temperature dropped as the night wore on. Perfect, I thought.

I went to the beach for the rest of the afternoon; then I came back to the hotel for a shower. Afterward, I left my hair in flowing waves down my back, even though normally it drove me nuts to comb out the knots that inevitably formed when I didn’t pull my hair back.

It was worth it, too, to see Braxton’s eyes when he got back to the hotel and saw me in the bathroom putting on eyeliner. He groaned. “Jesus, do we actually have to go to dinner?” he asked.

I laughed. “You’re the one who made a point of saying that we wouldn’t do anything until we got back from dinner,” I reminded him.

“Well, I guess it’s a good thing that Landon isn’t normally very chatty,” he growled, grabbing me by the hips and pressing against me, brushing my hair to my side so that he could kiss my neck.

I turned in his grasp, giving him a quick kiss. But then, I pushed him away. “Go get dressed,” I said. “If I’m dressing up for tonight, you’ve got to match me.”

Braxton laughed. “Done,” he said, turning and immediately went to his bag to pull out a shirt and a pair of nice jeans.
