Chapter 7

The last thing Jackson wanted to do was have a roommate. Especially one that turned his mind into a puddle of puppy mush, making it difficult to think clearly. But Amanda’s father had a valid point.

They were safer together at Jackson’s house, then separate with her alone in her apartment. Not only that, if she’d gone back to her family home, that might trigger a different kind of speculation with the very witch that had tried to kill her if she mated with him.

He pulled two bottles of Merlot out of the wine cooler and cracked one open. In the last five days, his life had turned upside down and now the world thought he had been secretly dating Lady Amanda Windsor for the last four months. He certainly questioned his sanity when he’d accepted this cockamamie idea.

“Tell me why I need to be here again?” His younger sister of three years, Tina, breezed by, snagging a wine glass and helping herself. Her red locks bounced over her shoulder. All of his siblings had some difficulty with their chosen professions because of their father, but Tina took the brunt of it as an Assistant District Attorney. Every case she tried was scrutinized, and if she didn’t win, people would often accuse her of being soft because her father was in prison.

“You don’t, but I thought since we’re all going to have to act like a happy family—”

“Act?” his younger brother, Decker, shouted from the family room. “You dumbass, you’ve mated with Lady Sass.”

“Don’t call her that. She’s right in the other room.”

When she’d been younger, the press dubbed her Lady Sass because as a child actress, she did have a sassy, confident side that amused most, even him. Not the nickname, but how poised she'd been and how easily she could give as good as she got at a young age. Not many young stars could take the criticism she had been subjected to and stay in the business.

Not to mention, the more time he spent with her, the sweeter she became.

He glanced at his watch. His other sister, Lola, was notorious for being late. Both she and Decker owned an IT company together, using their computer geek skills to create…oh hell, he had no idea what they did. He could barely run his Apple Watch.

The master bedroom door squeaked opened. He glanced over his shoulder and swallowed his breath.

Her long hair had been pulled up in a loose bun on top of her head. Strays of her curly locks dangled on the sides of her face. Her long, thick lashes fluttered over her sweet, blue eyes.

“Wine?” He held the glass out.

“I don’t like taking over your bedroom,” she said, her dainty fingers curled around the glass.

“It’s fine. I fall asleep on the sofa most nights, and there are four bedrooms.”

His sister cleared her throat.

“This is Tina and that over there is Decker. They will be taking turns, along with some friends, guarding the house.”

“Nice to meet you both.” She leaned against the counter, folding one arm over her middle.
