AFTER EATING, EVERYONE retreats to the den to watch a movie. I’m surprised to find out that Eve is a classic movie buff, just like me. Now, I understand how Wes knew who Audrey Hepburn was. As soon as the music begins, I know the movie. Top Hat has my favorite dance scene of all time—well, next to Singin’ in the Rain— and Fred Astaire is one of my absolute favorite leading men. The way he and Ginger Rogers sweep across the floor in perfect, graceful synchronization while he sings Cheek to Cheek . . . it makes me swoon every time.

I’m just settling into the couch by Makenna when Wes appears in the doorway, looking at me and jerking his head back toward the kitchen. “I’ll be right back,” I tell Makenna.

“Yeah, right,” she snickers, obviously thinking we’re sneaking off for number five.

“Follow me,” Wes orders as soon as I exit the room. He leads the way up the glossy wood stairs and into an office, motioning to an espresso leather wingback chair facing the desk. “Sit.” Once I’m seated, he takes the one at the desk, resting his chin over his folded hands. He looks tired, as I’m sure he is. There are dark haunting shadows beneath each eye, and his mouth forms a tight line. Tall, Dark, and Moody just collided with Sexy CEO, and no matter how much I want to hate him, I have to force away the thoughts of sitting naked on the desk in front of him.

“Why do I feel like I’m getting fired?” I joke, trying and failing to lighten the heavy mood. “You know, there’s no need to have this discussion. I know what you’re going to say.”

“I shouldn’t have ever let this happen, Callie. It’s my fault.” He hangs his head and fists his hands in the top of his hair.

“I knew what I was getting into. Just like I also knew that last night was all we’d have. You won. You finally got what you wanted, and now it’s over. We really don’t have much more to say to each other.”

He jerks his head up, his gaze is sharp, boring into me. “I won? Are you freaking serious?”

“Yes. Very.” I fold my arms over my chest, resolute to stand firm. I won’t let him get to me. “Just like other women, I was a conquest. I presented a challenge to you, so you pulled out all the stops until you got exactly what you wanted from me. And I let you. I don’t know. Maybe there’s some really sadistic part of me that wanted you to win, that wanted to be used like that. I knew there was a definite risk, and I still took it. I agreed to it. So there’s no need for hard feelings here.”

He stands but keeps his hands firmly planted on top of the desk, leaning over it. “You don’t have a damn clue what you’re talking about, Callie. You’re not part of some stupid game that I have to win.
