CHAPTER 10

Waking on the plush bed, Lulu stretched, muscles pleasantly sore because she’d had sex with Broderick.

Damn. I had sex with Brody.

What was I thinking?

She was thinking it felt good, and right, and amazing. Even now, with her mind clear, her body sated, she couldn’t regret the bout of passion they’d shared first in the shower and then the bed. The man was a tiger in the sack.

She even had the bite mark to prove it. At least he’d done it on her shoulder, which meant she could easily hide it. However, she hoped she could wipe the silly grin from her lips, an annoying side effect it seemed, which happened whenever she thought of him.

What a ridiculously girly reaction, but she couldn’t help it. The guy was too cute to hate, too fun to hurt, too sexy to resist.

He was also a criminal working with the city’s mob.

Aw, hell. What did I get myself into? Trouble, for one. She rolled onto her stomach and buried her face in the pillow then uttered a deep groan.

Stupid. So stupid. How could she have allowed herself to get involved with Brody? Hormones weren’t an excuse. She should have had better control, but in her defense, she blamed him for her insane attraction. Stupid jerk was just too freaking cute, and to add even more fuel to that fire, how could a girl resist a guy who asserted they were soul mates? Meant to be together. Forever.

It was enough to make her groan again, not because of his clingy assertion but more because she kind of wished it were true. While not usually given to fantasy wishes of a happily and totally romantic ever after, pragmatic Lulu couldn’t deny its appeal.

How would it feel to be the focus of one man, a man she found equally attractive? Wait, she already knew. It felt great. Wonderful. She never wanted it to end.

Sigh. But that would never happen. They came from two vastly different mind-sets. His secret was damning, but then again, so was hers. Once he found out what she hid, he’d ditch her faster than she could bend over to distract him.

It amused—and flattered her—that Brody was distracted by pretty, shiny things, or in her case, naked and inviting. She’d discovered her power over him the previous night when she left the bed to use the bathroom. In the midst of talking to her, telling her, of all things, about the time he’d streaked naked through his neighborhood and then for weeks after put up with seventy-seven-year-old Mrs. Hinklesmith winking at him, she emerged from the bathroom, still completely bare skinned. Spotting her shirt, which somehow got kicked out of the bathroom, she stooped to snag it. She flashed him big time, and he reacted by stopping midsentence and staring. Then crooking a finger.

She never did find out if Mrs. Hinklesmith stopped her flirting.

However, the knowledge of how to throw him off track proved valuable. But would it be enough to diminish her secret if he ever found out?

Speaking of secrets.
