Chapter Eleven

Cooper stretched out his legs and hugged Paris closer as they sat on the loveseat watching some crappy late night movie on the TV. She was curled up next to him, her head on his chest. The lights were dimmed, they had microwave popcorn, and soon he’d be taking her to bed again.

She played her fingers over his bare stomach. She’d already half pulled his shirt off him. “So, what do you normally do on a Saturday night?”

“If I’m not working I’m out with the guys.”

“Picking up girls?”

Sometimes they picked up girls. Other nights they just got drunk and ended up playing online games. Occasionally, he got together with his brothers, but since they saw each other most days at work, that wasn’t at the top of his list.

“I don’t party every weekend. What about you?” He seriously couldn’t believe the stuff he’d read about her wild parties and hotel wrecking tendencies. Where did the press dig that shit up?

She made little circles on his stomach. “Sometimes I manage to have a night at home. Mostly I’m rocking it at some night club or whatever.”

He frowned at the flickering TV screen. “You should’ve said if you wanted to go out. We could’ve found a bar or something.” It hadn’t even crossed his mind. Truth was, he enjoyed just hanging out with her in the cabin, drinking a beer or two and cuddling up after they’d had dinner.

It was different—something he’d never done before with anyone else. And even though this was the fifth night in a row he’d not hit the town, he didn’t feel caged or stir crazy.

The complete opposite, in fact.

She wriggled against him. “I didn’t say I wanted to go out. I came here so I wouldn’t have to keep going out.”

“You could just say no.” He looked down at her. It was crazy that she was burned out on partying at her age. Then again, she’d been doing it for years. So had he, but the difference between them was she hadn’t grown up on shitty backstreet parties like him. He guessed it was possible to get sick of champagne and caviar if you had it every week. Not that he knew anything about caviar. Eating fish eggs wasn’t something he’d ever put on his bucket list.

“Sounds easy, doesn’t it?” She glanced up at him. “My mom’s never liked missing out on parties, though. She’s always worried we might miss some fabulous opportunity.”

“Why can’t she go on her own then?”

She gave him a pitying look. “Because I’m the one who gets her through the door.”

That was fucked up. He decided to keep that to himself. “You won’t be her meal ticket once you start college. She’ll have to get used to it then.”

For a second she frowned. Maybe he shouldn’t have voiced the meal ticket comment but what the hell. She must know what her own mom was like. Scott certainly did.

“I haven’t exactly told her about my college plans yet.”

She had told him before her mom? He had no idea what to make of that.
