SHE COULDN’T SEEM to catch her breath. Her fingers slid through his thick black hair, tugging ever so slightly. “You said something about fatal?”

Patton turned his head, breathing heavily. “Complaining?”

She smiled, then giggled. “No. Not in the least.” She’d spent the last several hours tangled up in Patton. Hours of unrelenting, desperate, uninhibited and mind-blowingly satisfying sex. She felt strangely exhilarated yet totally exhausted.

He studied her until the rapid rise and fall of his chest slowed.

The longer he stared at her, the more nervous she became. She’d never brought anyone home with her. Ever. She liked her privacy, liked going home alone when the party was over. She was the leaver, not the one that got left. But this was different. She had the urge to scoot closer to Patton, to slide her arm around his waist and rest her cheek on his chest. Even now, she wanted to touch him. To talk to him.

What if she never got him out of her system? She swallowed, rolling onto her back to stare at the ceiling.

“I’d like to go with you to your office party.” His voice was low.

She turned her head on her pillow, surprised. “Why?”

“I want to.”

She didn’t know what she’d expected, but that wasn’t it. Her heart thumped a little. “I can handle it,” she argued, strangely pleased when he frowned at her.

“I’m not asking,” he bit back.

Why did she find his assertiveness such a huge turn-on? She rolled onto her stomach, resting her cheek on her hands. “You’re bossy.”

“I’ve heard that before.” His hand rested on the curve of her rear.

She closed her eyes, pleasantly exhausted. She sighed.

“Tired?” he asked.

She opened her eyes. “Are you up for another round?”

He laughed. “Give me...twenty minutes.”

She glanced at the clock, grinning. “I’m timing you.”

“Have any other ideas for the wedding shower?” he asked, his fingers stroking along her spine.

“For wrecking it, you mean?” She sighed.

He looked down at her. “Having second thoughts?”

“I don’t want to hurt Bianca,” she explained. “I mean, that’s the point, right? To prevent her from getting hurt?”

“Yes. Not just Bianca, though. This wedding affects more than just the two of them.”

Her gaze lingered on the bullet scars on his chest. “Why don’t you ever try to protect him? Zach, I mean? You’re his brother. Shouldn’t you jump to his defense?”

“I love Zach.” Patton’s voice was low, thoughtful. “But he’s had a lot of girlfriends.”

“Like how many?”

Patton shook his head. “A lot... And some not so long ago.”

“Did he ever bring these girls home?” Cady asked.

Patton shook his head.

“Did he ever say he loved them?”

Patton shook his head again. “I’m not saying he doesn’t care about Bianca. I think he does. But marriage? No.”

Cady watched Patton’s face, hesitating before she asked, “Is this because of your engagement? That you’re not a fan of the whole weddings and marriage thing?”

He lifted an eyebrow. “No.”

She waited but he just looked at her. “O-okay.” They didn’t need to bond over their thoughts and opinions on marriage, they just needed to work toward the common goal.
