CHAPTER TWELVE

ALEXA SAT DOWN on Carter’s bed, for the first time completely unsure of how to behave in a man’s bedroom. Except that it wasn’t just some guy’s bedroom. It was Carter’s. Which meant something. It meant a hell of a lot and she was vaguely terrified, but at this moment she was tired of fighting her attraction to him. The gamble was the gamble, and if they slept together and it ruined everything he was leaving anyway. Either way the outcome was essentially the same, with her alone in Vegas, so they might as well have as much fun while they were sober as they’d had in that drunk wedding video.

She watched as he strode away from her instead of kissing her like she wanted him to. “Are you planning to deliver amazing sex or what?” she joked, trying to lighten what had become a serious mood.

Carter ignored her and opened his closet, pulling at a door inside.

“What are you doing?” she called.

He came back out with something in his hand that she couldn’t see.

“Scarves?” she asked when he turned around.

He didn’t answer.

“Carter, what are you doing?”

“Lie down.”

“Are you doing some BDSM shit right now?”

He raised an eyebrow.

She raised her own eyebrow and waited. After that move with the vibrator in public, who knew what he was capable of, and she was curious to find out. Was it this seductive anticipation that kept women in Vegas chasing after him?

“Am I getting the Carter Hayes treatment?”

“You’re not going to get anything if you keep up the snark.”

“I’m not just another girl in your bed, you know,” she said, for the first time experiencing some insecurity where Carter was concerned. “I’m your wife.”

“Trust me. I know exactly what you are.” He stood at the foot of the bed, watching her expectantly.

Slowly, she scooted to the top of the bed and lay down.

His eyes raked slowly over her body, starting at her toes. Her stomach clenched, nerves she hadn’t expected hijacking her sexual buzz. She’d initiated this with Carter, but the reality of it was just hitting her. She was so vulnerable lying there with everything visible to him. He was her best friend who knew everything about her, including the story of how she lost her virginity, which made this feel far more intimate than her usual sexual encounters. She’d wanted this to be fun, but the way he was looking at her right now, his eyes dark and hooded as they crept over every inch of her bare skin, was anything but. This brilliant plan to distract herself from selling the casinos was becoming the thing she needed to be distracted from.

He drew out a blindfold and she sucked in a breath.

“Is that all you got?” she asked, trying to even the playing field again.

He walked to the side of the bed, staring down at her, his blue eyes serious. Holding up the blindfold, he gestured for her to lift her head. When she did he tied the black silk scarf tightly around her head and heard something click into place.
