CHAPTER 5
DRAKE
As much as I know I should, I canât refuse the gift straight out. Not only would that seem strange, but worse, I would appear ungrateful. Harry was one of my fatherâs best friends for as long as I can remember. The joyful look on his face is almost too much to bear. No one, including myself, ever saw me getting married. My work is my life. At least it always has been, but dammit if Joey isnât riling me up like no woman ever has. Her lips had me hard as a rock, pulsing against my zipper. Now Iâm supposed to share a hotel room with her? Lord, give me strength.
The hotel is downtown near City Hall, so we donât have to go far. Joey doesnât say a word from the time we sneak out the back entranceâsomething I wish I wouldâve known about ahead of timeâup until the time we checked into the Four Seasons. I canât say I blame her. This was my idea and I canât think of anything to say either.
âWe donât have to do this, you know.â Joey finally breaks the silence as the elevator dings and we both step inside.
âI know Joey, but somethingâs telling me that itâs our best shot at pulling this off without anyone questioning my motive for marriage.â
âYour motives arenât part of the agreement.â My head snaps in her direction. âNot legally, anyway.â Being in this tight space with her has my heart pumping. If she were really my wife, Iâd throw her up against the wall, work my way up her skirt and into her panties before she even realized what was happening. âCan I ask you something?â
I adjust my stance, rock hard from my quick but satisfying fantasy. âSure.â
âWhy didnât you just fess up and tell your godfather about the will?â
Partly because I was enjoying the charade. Even though it was fake, Joey standing next to me gave me a sense of peace I havenât felt since my mother was around, but thereâs more to it than that. âMy father,â the elevator dings and the doors open at the Penthouse level. âHe never told me he was proud of me.â I extend my hand and Joey takes the invitation, leading us out of the elevator.
We hang a left, our shoes swishing against the carpet before Joey responds. âNever?â
I shake my head, emotion rising in the back of my throat as I insert the key card into the electronic lock. âNot even once.â The light beams red. I try it again, same thing. âWhen Harry said he thought my father would be proud, I couldnât bring myself to tell him the truth. It wouldâve nulled the sentiment.â
âLet me try.â Joey gently takes the keycard from me, slides it into the reader, and the green light appears. My nostrils flare as I attempt to regain my composure. Joey turns the handle and we enter the suite.
With the flick of a switch, the place is illuminated. âHoly fucking shit.â Joey slaps a hand over her mouth.
