Chapter Thirteen

Miles

When I opened my eyes the next morning my heart jumped into a frenzy as I remembered everything from the night before. The events all moved so quickly, like a stack of dominoes tumbling in rapid succession. I blinked a few times, clearing the morning fog from my eyes and then smiled to myself. The plan worked. By some miracle, Penny hadn’t bolted from my hotel room or laughed in my face—well, all right, she had but only just a little—and somewhere lost in my email inbox was the confirmation that in a few short hours, we’d board a plane to Hawaii and when we departed the island, it would be as husband and wife.

“Damn.” I let out a low whistle. Husband and wife? It sounded so heavy. Stuffy.

I swallowed hard against the bubble of anxiety trying to work its way up my throat and told myself it was going to be all right in the end. Penny was unbelievably cool with the entire thing, and while I wasn’t crazy about her no sex rule—okay, I hated it—if it would make things an easy in and easy out, then it would work flawlessly. We’d both walk away with everything we wanted. She’d have her book deal. I’d have my trust fund and bike garage.

I couldn’t have picked a better partner in crime. We’d been about halfway through dinner when I decided that Penny would not only make a good candidate for my plan—but she was damn near perfect. Something I hadn’t expected. Between her independent mindset and her creative drive, we made a perfect match. I could easily picture a life together, traveling to all of the places I wanted to go and along the way, if inspiration struck, she could begin work on a second collection of photographs or even do some kind of press tour. She could be the hottie on the back of my bike by day and I’d be her arm candy by night, going from city to city and promoting her work at art galleries and bookstores. She was fun, with a great smile and an even better ass, and although we definitely hadn’t gone as far as I wanted to before she coaxed me into dropping the ball, there was no question that we had chemistry together.

The fact that she came from old money and that my parents already knew her family was the cherry on top of the perfect hot fudge sundae.

I sighed and got out of bed. During my teen years I’d never been much of an early riser but after spending years in the military it was rare for me to be able to sleep past eight am. I showered, shaved my jaw back to the perfect amount of scruff, and raked a handful of mousse into my hair, before dressing in my favorite pair of jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and my well-worn black leather jacket. With a final glimpse in the mirror, I flashed myself a smile and headed out of the hotel suite.
