Chapter Twelve

I sat up with a gasp.

It was just like the morning before, when I had woken to unexpected voices. But this time I was in a strange bed again, and at least one of those voices didn’t seem familiar at all.

I’d learned my lesson from the day before. I couldn’t get myself into the single bathroom in the apartment, but I pulled on a proper outfit, brushed out my hair, and cleaned my face thoroughly with some wipes. I didn’t dare put on makeup withut a full mirror, but I was young and fresh enough that I could probably get away without it.

Once I was decent, I made a quick and quiet tidy of my room and then stepped up to the door for a bit of strategic eavesdropping before I joined the action.

A childish female voice was doing most of the talking. “She’ll need someone to guide her through the process.”

Devin’s voice sounded both amused and exasperated. “Someone who has never been even close to getting married before?”

“You know exactly what Caroline means.” The third person out there was Devin’s mother, Angel. My face felt like it was going to get stuck in a permanant wince that would keep me from being able to come out at all. “When you get yourself into a situation like this for purposes of revenge, it is too easy to go down a bad path if you allow yourself to have complete control over the project. You need our involvement.”

“I will need your involvement when I ask for your involvement,” Devin responded, not quite petulant yet but close enough to really amuse me. “Julia has a say in this too, for the record.”

“She doesn’t know enough to have a meaningful opinion,” said Angel. “You need to use whatever influence you have obtained over her to guide her in the right direction.”

I was pretty sure I was still grimacing, but I couldn’t wait any longer. I opened my door and strode into the fray, slowing and looking around once I was in the middle of the living space like I hadn’t expected to see Angel and the pretty woman with long dark hair who must be Caroline.

Then I ruined the act by blurting out what I couldn’t keep contained. “Well hello, and shouldn’t I have the chance to be personally involved in any attempts to indoctrinate me?”

Devin shot me a smile broader than any he’d offered to date. Maybe this was the sort of thing he had in mind for our partnership. Unfortunately being made to focus on his mouth just reminded me where it had been several hours before, which had me squirming and blushing in a way that wasn’t going to help me hold my own. Especially when I was wary about what Angel might think of Devin already being here when she arrived, not to mention frustrated that he probably wasn’t thinking about what had happened between us at all. Yeah, we needed to be a team against these two women… but I didn’t feel like being on his team at all right now.
