Ethan

God, she was maddening. She wasn’t stupid, she knew the score, or at least she should have. Everything we’d done for the past three weeks had been to maintain the illusion that we were a couple. That we were in love. Tonight was definitely not the time for her to fucking forget that.

I glared down at her as she stared up at me, her face flushed, her chest visibly rising and falling. She was pissed at me, too. But I wasn’t the one who’d forgotten the deal tonight. She had. With that jerk. Her friend.

When she’d initially told me she and Julie had shared a dorm room with a male, I’d pictured a skinny, dorky nerd far more likely to gossip with girls than hang out with real men, like the ones in the fraternity I’d been in. That mental image had been reinforced when I found out he’d spent the day at the spa with the girls.

But Dan was nothing like that. Through my study with Kate, I’d learned that he’d been on the swim team, and dammit, he looked the part. I’d seen several of the female servers checking him out earlier tonight. Before he’d holed up a corner and monopolized my fiancée.

What kind of self-centered prick goes to an engagement party and then hogs the bride-to-be?

I closed my eyes for a moment—now was not the time for rage. I needed to calmly explain to Kate what she’d done wrong. How she’d violated the spirit of our agreement. How she was jeopardizing the whole thing.

But holy fuck, I couldn’t get past the way she looked tonight. Somehow she was even more gorgeous when she was mad. That dress, that slinky, shimmery dress dipped low in the front, and I could see the flush of her cleavage. God, how I wanted to plunge my hand into her plunging neckline and caress her. Squeeze her. Make her scream my name.

Calm. I needed to be calm. No matter that she’d made my blood boil before with her stubbornness—and how she made it boil now with her nearness.

Screw calm.

I grabbed Kate by the shoulders and stared into her eyes for one endless moment. Then I opened my mouth to scold her—and kissed her instead.

A real kiss. Not like those goddamn love taps I’d been forced to do before. A real, honest-to-god kiss that she’d feel in the depths of her soul.

As did I.

After a moment of shock, Kate reached up and wrapped her arms around me, cupping the back of my neck with her hand. Pulling me closer. Her breasts pressed against the front of my suit, and I wished I had a magic wand to make the layers between us melt away.

Kate’s eyes closed, but I didn’t want to miss a minute of this as I ravished her mouth. Her long lashes rested against the soft skin of her cheeks. And her hair… at long last, I was free to fist her loose bronze waves. They were every bit as soft and silky as I’d always imagined.
