Thirteen

AS IT TURNED out, all it took to get Andi into Dex’s bed was a bottle of wine. She’d always been a lightweight when it came to alcohol. A personality flaw that didn’t help her reckless tendencies. Case in point, after two sips of champagne she’d followed Dex into a Vegas wedding chapel and said “I do.” Well, the seventy thousand dollars he’d gifted her might have been an added incentive, but she felt less like a hypocrite if she blamed the champagne.

There was no getting around his agent’s plan. She’d made a vow to do whatever was necessary to make this marriage appear real. And she stuck to her word. But that didn’t mean she had to like it. That’s why rather than face him to discuss the logistics, she’d holed up in her former bedroom, downing a bottle of rosé. It was childish of her, she knew, but it was the only way to get up the nerve to do what she had to.

Sporting a warm buzz, she crawled between the sheets of Dex’s massive bed. Of course, the warm buzz might be aided by all the clothes she was wearing. Normally she donned a pair of sleep shorts and a cami to sleep in. Not tonight. While she hadn’t gone so far as to follow Mr. Hilbert’s ridiculous suggestion that she wear a snowsuit, she had pulled on a pair of leggings, a sports bra and a long-sleeved T-shirt. Given that Dex was her Kryptonite, she needed all the armor she could muster to prevent herself from doing anything reckless.

Like jump his bones.

She could hear Marlene in the hallway lecturing Dex about propriety. Andi snickered softly. The woman needn’t worry about her employer. He had stated repeatedly that he had no intention of consummating their marriage, even though he claimed to be attracted to her. Since there wasn’t an audience for him to play to tonight, Andi was quite safe.

Her body sagged in disappointment. The wine was a bad idea. Not only was the bed spinning, but her girl parts were wailing for action they weren’t going to see. It was going to take everything she had to match Dex’s level of restraint.

A door slammed in the distance before the object of her desire strode into the room. Lucky for her, he was just as overdressed for bed as she was, wearing a pair of dark sweatpants and a Growlers’ Henley that fit snugly, showcasing his landscape of sculpted muscles. Andi gulped down a lusty sigh at the sight. She could have sworn he growled as he stalked past her into the bathroom only to storm back out seconds later.

“This is not how you’re supposed to squeeze a tube of toothpaste!” He clenched her tube of toothpaste in his hand.

Yep. Definitely growling.

Throwing back the sheets, she jumped out of the bed and grabbed the toothpaste from him. “First of all, that’s my toothpaste you’re holding. And I’ll squeeze it any way I want.”

His eyes roamed her body, settling in the vicinity of her chest when his expression grew harder.
