CHAPTER 7

TOAD

* * *

It hasn’t been lost on me that she’s been in a car accident today. Her head and ribs must be causing her pain, but she’s not complained once. There’s only been a few winces. which she tried to cover up. Despite myself, I’ve been impressed with how she’s handling it all so coolly.

Maybe she’s got no emotion at all, is just as shallow as she appears, or maybe, she’s got hidden depths. I didn’t agree to this charade with anything other than hopes she’d be good enough to keep my dick satisfied in bed. Out of it, our lives wouldn’t cross much. She could go on doing whatever the fuck socialites do, and I’d get on with my role as MC prez. But now I’m starting to wonder what she’d be like if I take the time to really know her.

She’s got a backbone I didn’t expect.

She should be scared, terrified, but she’s not.

When she hands me back my phone, she’s biting her lip, but not out of nervousness. It appears more as an aid to her thinking. Her brow furrows and her eyes narrow. Not wanting to interrupt her train of thought, I inch back until the door’s behind me and I fold my arms.

When she speaks, I listen.

“How much time have we got?”

I wince, wishing that’s not what she’d started with. “None at all,” I reply, honestly. “That’s what your dad was telling me. Having failed with your kidnapping today, Enrico’s put the pressure on your father. He’s arriving tomorrow and is demanding your presence. And your trousseau.”

“My trousseau?” She snorts with startled laughter. “That’s a word I didn’t expect to come out of the mouth of a biker.”

Letting my shoulders rise and fall, I shake my head. “Whatever you want to take to start your married life in Mexico, if you want me to give it to you straight.”

A strange look crosses her face. “Then it’s already too late. There’s no way we can get married between now and tomorrow.”

“I’ve got the licence already. I got it when this crazy idea was first planned, and your dad bribed the judge to stay as late as it takes. Don’t worry, Ruby, we can be wed by tonight.”

She frowns, and I wait for her next objection. “I have a reputation… No, don’t laugh. I don’t mean the one where I’m difficult.” She gives a half-smile. “I mean, I’ve a social following. To make people believe it, my wedding should be all over Facebook and Instagram.”

Yeah, I know that. Cloud, our computer guy, named for having his head in virtual cloud storage, has already warned me of that. But I see that as extra protection for her. After her “happy” marriage, Enrico won’t be able to appear with her on his arm.

“I understand. There’ll be pictures we can post.”

Her brows rise. “Showing me wearing a dress covered in blood?”

I’ve already thought of that. “You got a personal shopper?” I try not to regard her disdainfully, but from her blush, I don’t succeed.
