Chapter 17

Eleanor

“GET MAR-MARRIED?” My stomach flip-flops. Good thing there’s nothing in there; otherwise, it would have come back up. “Are you crazy?”

“No. Not at all. In fact, I think it’s the sanest decision I’ve made.” He calmly takes another bite of Mama’s chicken and rice, as if he hasn’t totally upended my world. “That should solve all our problems, don’t you think?”

Yelling won’t do any good. I have to discuss this rationally, logically with him. Well, as logically as I can given the fact he’s insane. “How?”

“Marrying you will prove I’ve given up my wild partying days and settled down into domestic bliss. The Outlaws’ management will love that.” He grins like it’s the most brilliant idea he’s ever dreamed up. “With any luck, the media will stop writing about my personal life and focus on my football stats.”

On the verge of hyperventilating, I rush to explain. “We don’t need to marry, Brock. If I acknowledge you’re Kaylee’s father and you’re providing child support, that’ll take care of your problem.”

For a couple of seconds, he chews over my suggestion. But then he shakes his head. “I don’t think so. Oliver Lyons will keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, especially after word gets out about my ‘orgy room.’”

“It hasn’t gotten out so far.”

He turns toward me, and I get the full effect of his green-eyed gaze. “Well, with all the publicity, do you honestly believe that little turd at the condo, what’s his name—”

“Warren Sheffield.”

“You think he won’t find out? As soon as he figures out who’s living in that condo, he’ll blast it all over social media. And it won’t take the tabloids a nanosecond to spread it far and wide.” He helps himself to more chicken and rice before pointing his fork at me. “They’ll drag you into it as well.”

“Me? I haven’t done anything.”

That sexy grin of his curls over his lips. “Oh, I wouldn’t say that. We did plenty on Sunday, didn’t we?” He punctuates his question with a wink. Bastard.

I bow my head and pick at my nail polish. If I keep this up, I’m going to need a coat of Floozy Red or Scarlet Tramp to go along with my new fallen woman status. “That was just a one-time thing.”

“Not if I have anything to say about it.” He manages to inhale another healthy portion of Mama’s food and waggle his eyebrows at the same time.

Is he ever going to be serious? He thinks marrying me would be one big lark. Of course, he does. Not only would it solve all his problems, he would have a readily available sex partner. Someone he could screw all night long. That thought shouldn’t sound appealing, yet it does. What is wrong with me? Do I really want to play bouncy-bouncy on his bed? Have him do all the things he did to me and more? I shiver. Yeah, I would. But I’ll need more than that if I’m to agree to this. “Okay, fine. Let’s say for the sake of argument, I say yes.
