Chapter 15

“You lied?” his mother shrieked.

Dane Prescott nearly cringed at his mother’s reaction. He hadn’t wanted to tell her the truth—if he had the choice. Not that it mattered now. Still, he didn’t want to tell her. Not like this. But Ms. Allyson Smith had forced his hand. His mother needed to know that his assistant was conning her. His blood boiled at the betrayal. Disappointment settled in his gut. What a fool he had been to trust her. Never had he allowed himself to feel such deep feelings for a woman, and it had come back to bite him in the ass. “Yes,” he replied. “I lied.”

“No, I lied,” Allyson whispered, her voice wavering.

He turned to her in surprise. Her beautiful face was streaked with tears. He wanted nothing more than to reach out and comfort her, but he forced himself to harden his heart. For all he knew, her tears were fake. A trick to manipulate him.

Still, her interruption was unexpected. Why was she coming to his defense?

“Will someone please tell me what on earth is going on?” his mother snapped. Her hair was disheveled and her face was growing redder by the second. He’d never seen his mother look so out of control.

“You might want to sit down,” he warned. He took the chair by his mother’s desk while Allyson and his mother resumed their seats on the pale blue sofas.

Quickly, he filled his mother in on the details of the last several days. Allyson’s lie to her family that she was dating him. Him agreeing to help her keep up the lie by showing up as her date to her brother’s wedding. Her family discovering the truth. Then, worst of all, the tabloids getting the wrong impression, and thinking he and Allyson had been the ones to marry over the weekend.

He kept the details about their sexual escapades to himself. Part of him wanted to keep those moments private because, damn it, he still had feelings for her. He’d never had sex with a woman he’d such a deep connection with, and he knew it was something he would never forget. Even if she didn’t feel anything for him. Besides, none of that was his mother’s business anyway.

His mother sucked in her breath. A rather unladylike sound, and most unlike her. “Of all the irresponsible, stupid things!” She gripped the sofa’s armrest, shaking with fury.

It was rare for her to lose control like this. His mother could be scheming and passive-aggressive, but she almost never outright lost her temper. Hell, she never outright showed any strong emotions. Not even in private.

Which was so different from Allyson. At work, his assistant was the consummate professional who kept her emotions in check. But over the past several days, she had been so vulnerable and open with him. Revealed a side he had never seen. She was warm, and sweet, and surprisingly passionate.

Hard to believe that this mess had only started last Thursday. It was Tuesday now, but the last five days felt like an age.
