But I was never good at allowing myself a compliment. “And you’ve said that same line to how many girls?”

“None. Scout’s honor.” He held up two fingers.

“I think that’s a peace sign, and I’ve heard you talk about your legacy in the scouts. With your friend, on the phone.”

He laughed. “Yeah, that was Keller, the guy with the sex toy company. He loved your slogan for the handcuffs, by the way. He’s going to use it. I told him if it works well then he owes you some money. He’s got a big house up in the hills. I’m housesitting for him this weekend, so I won’t be around.”

The thought of him not being around this weekend was disappointing. It would surely be much quieter with him not home, but I preferred the noise and knowing he was right next door.

“I know what you’re thinking,” he said. “Finally some peace and quiet.”

I smiled but then looked at him. “Actually, no. I was thinking it was going to be an extra lonely weekend.”

“I just had a great idea. Are you working this weekend?”

“Not until Sunday afternoon. Why?”

“Come housesit with me. The house is awesome. It has a great view and one of those infinity pools and—”

“Thanks,” I said, quickly.

“Wait, Pepper, hear me out. It would be a nice, free vacation.” He glanced around my pathetic, hot apartment. “And I think you could use it.”

I raised a brow at him. “I don’t think I’d fit in with all your friends.”

“No, you wouldn’t, which is why I’m inviting only you. I need a vacation too. From them. It’ll just be you and me.”

My eyes widened at that statement, but he spoke up before I could comment.

“Look. I’m not going to lie to you. I’m completely intrigued with the idea of you and me. But, you have my word that I won’t make a move unless you say, ‘Breaker, make a move.’ Exact wording is negotiable. Feel free to mix it up some.” He punctuated his invitation with that award winning smile.

“I don’t know, Breaker.”

“You just came out of a shitty relationship. I get it. But what could the harm be in a little ‘no strings attached’ fun? His house is awesome . . . and air-conditioned. Tell you what— if you hate it, I’ll drive you right back here to your pull-out sofa and cereal bowl.”
