Chapter Sixteen

Brian

“Will you please help me with this?”

Carol has her back turned toward me and her floral silk dress is zipped up to the middle of her back. She grabs her hair, still wet from the shower, and braids it loosely to the side.

“Sure.” At last, a task I’d actually like to do.

Yesterday, her game plan was to leave me horny and aching. Today, she’s using me as her personal servant, making me help with everything but the cleaning. If I hadn’t suggested swimming to cool down after the limbo contest, I’m sure she’d have found plenty of other things for me to do.

I hold the zipper between my fingers and pull it all the way down, enjoying her soft tremor.

“Brian.” Her breath is raspy as she says my name. “Up. We have a party to attend.”

I’m tempted to ask what she’d say if we didn’t have the party, but I don’t push my luck. I pull the zipper up and plant a kiss on her shoulder. Before she can protest about our lack of audience, I change the subject. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen two people so willing to ditch a bachelor party just so that they can hang out with their family.”

Emily and Jeremy are the definition of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” I knew of the Davidsons before we came here—they are an old, respectable family with investments in several companies on the East Coast, wealthy but definitely not flashy. And until to a few hours ago, I considered them extremely snobbish, like the rest of the world. As for Emily, I didn’t know much aside from what Carol had told me back then, but the investigator had reported that she was working hard at becoming a prominent socialite. It doesn’t seem like it. She does go overboard with her social media posts, but other than that, she’s more of a goofball.

Carol chuckles. “I know, they are both crazy. We do have age limits on this one though, so that’s something. Besides, I think most of their friends were supposed to arrive this afternoon. They are definitely going to be at the party.” Her eyes seem to darken at the thought.

“Your Ex, too?” I ask.

She shrugs but then looks down and I can see her biting her lip. “Probably. He’s dating one of the bridesmaids, and she’ll definitely be here.”

Right. The pain seizing my chest gets stronger. I can’t stand that she’s hurt about him being with someone else. Thankfully, my phone rings, preventing me from saying something stupid.

“Daddy!” Daniel chirps. He’s dressed in his pajamas, nested in Sunny’s lap.

“Hey, Buddy, ready to sleep?” I glance at the time. I’ve been checking on Daniel constantly these past two days, to the point that I’ve become a nuisance with my videocalls, and yet I forgot the most important one.

“Yes, and I wanted to say goodnight. I ate spaghetti for dinner, and we watched a movie, but Mary went to bed early.”

I raise my brows. “Is everything okay there, Sunny?”

“Yes, everything is under control.
