Three pairs of shocked eyes narrow on me, and I realize my mistake. Iâm used to the upcoming, now-canceled wedding monopolizing every aspect of my life, and I forget itâs not actually the sun around which the rest of the world orbits. None of these men have any reason to know about the shitstorm that just burned through my whole world.
âThereâs no fiancé. No wedding. Not anymore. I caught him on his knees for our bossâs wife tonight during our rehearsal dinner. I livestreamed it as soon as I realized what was happening. Probably cost myself my job. Definitely ended things with Jonathan. Left the wedding planner downstairs cancelling everything. Joined Club Sin with my share of our honeymoon fund, and here I am.â
I pause for air, gulping a bit at how easy it is to condense the implosion of my life into a short monologue explanation. Hysteria bubbles up until Iâm giggling and tearing up at the same time. How is this my reality? From celebrating my upcoming wedding to sitting at a table with strangers about to have a kinky one-night stand.
âYour fiancé was cheating on you? Seriously? Did you know about it before tonight? Suspect anything?â Gable, I think he said his name is, rapid-fires questions at me.
âYes, he was. Yes, it looked serious when his head was under the skirt of her gown and he was slurping like a toddler with a bowl of noodles. No, I didnât know about it, and no, I didnât suspect anything. We both work a lot of hours, and we were waiting until after the wedding to move in together.â
The scary one, with the scar down one side of his face that should make him look intimidating and mean, glowers at me. But Iâm not scared. Certainty in my gut says heâs furious on my behalf. More than Gableâs surprise and Iraâs sympathy, his outrage soothes the lingering hurt caused by Jonathanâs cheating.
âYou didnât love him,â Gable states with confidence.
âI did not,â I agree.
âThen whyâ¦â Iraâs thought drifts into silence, and I get it.
In todayâs world, most people donât need to marry for reasons other than love. Still, I hesitate to explain my reasoning. Each in their own way, these three are the sexiest men Iâve ever seen in real life. For whatever reason, theyâre choosing me to talk to tonight. There arenât tons of women alone here, but there are other options. There are at least a half dozen other girls they could have approached.
But they chose me. And if I tell them how desperately I want to be a wife and mother, thereâs every chance they wonât look at me the same. The night will be over before it begins. Thereâs nothing less sexy for a one-night stand divulging she wants to be impregnated.
âKeep your secrets, beauty. Itâs enough for us to know no man has a claim on you, no matter your choices tomorrow,â Gable assures me.
Ridge and Ira still look suspicious, as if theyâre waiting for me to collapse into brokenhearted theatrics at any moment.
