Cassie was angry with him. With three younger sisters, Troy knew the look—narrowed eyes and lips that couldn’t decide between tightening and pouting. So he took his time changing into his shorts, brushing his teeth and screwing the cap on the toothpaste. But he couldn’t stay in the bathroom all night.

No sense putting this off any longer. Opening the door, he took three steps into the room. From out of nowhere, something soft smashed down on his head. “What the—”

Cassie stood next him, armed with a pillow. Her unbraided blond hair fell past her shoulders in waves, reminding him of a lion’s mane. She wore his too short, too transparent T-shirt. Underneath he could see the outline of her full breasts and her black panties. “That’s for kissing me.”

And what a kiss. Thinking about her sweet taste sent his body temperature up, way up. “That wasn’t my fault. Blame your father. And Emily and Eric, too.”

“How could you kiss me like that?” Eyes gleaming, she stalked him. Troy was so busy looking for peeks of those black panties of hers, he didn’t move quickly enough to avoid a feathered blow to his stomach.

“We were supposed to act like the perfect couple. Can I help it if my little peck didn’t do the trick? Dixon wanted a real kiss.”

“Real kiss, my foot.” Turning, she whacked him on the back. “That was for telling Emily she could throw us an engagement party. How could you?”

“How could I say no? She accused me of being ashamed of you. I couldn’t back down.” He eyed Cassie’s pillow warily. “Don’t forget, I’m your McKnight in shining armor.”

“Do I look like a damsel in distress?” She faked him out and thwacked him in the stomach. “We had an agreement. You’re supposed to be my fiancé for the weekend.”

“So I’m your fiancé for two more weeks. It’s not that bad.”

“What do you know about bad?”

“Two weeks, Cassie.” Troy tried hard not to stare at her long legs. “Then I’m out of your life forever.” He didn’t like the sound of forever. Not at all.

“I wanted you out of my life tomorrow.”

Liar. He could see it in her eyes. He knew it from the way she responded to his kiss. “You can’t always get everything you want, Cassie.”

“Wanna bet?” She tried hitting him again, but Troy ducked out of the way, leaving her to swish the air. He grabbed his pillow off the bed. She wanted to play rough, did she?

Two could play at this game. Troy’s gaze locked with hers. They stood facing each other, two duelers armed with pillows and a lust for vengeance. He had to smile at the serious expression on her face.

“Are you sure you want to do this? I must warn you—I can hold my own.” Troy felt it was only fair to warn her. The oldest of six children, he’d earned his stripes as the pillow-fighting champion of the McKnight clan. “I’m ready to let it drop if you are.”

She met his peace offer with a smug smile and a swing of her pillow that hit him solidly on his arm.
