Alexis

“Unnecessary,” Alexis protested.

“We’ll simply have to agree to disagree,” Galen countered, peeling off his jacket and unbuttoning his vest.

Every button undone sent a very real wave of dread through Alexis. Because when the vest was off, then the shirt would have to come off. And when the shirt came off, well, his pants were likely to follow, weren’t they? And if his pants came off…

“I’ll sleep on the couch,” she blurted as he pulled off the dark tie he’d been wearing, discarding it on the back of an ornate chair.

“You mean the loveseat.”

“I mean the flat surface upon which I can sleep,” she said, equal parts flustered and annoyed by how much Galen seemed to enjoy this, standing on opposite sides of his huge bed as they currently were.

“This,” Galen said, patting on the pulled back covers of his bed, looking oh so comfortable and inviting, “will be where you sleep, my gem. We are, after all, to be wed. Couldn’t have anyone doubting the sacred nature of our union.”

“I’ve known you for less than ten hours,” Alexis yelped, in turn with the vest being discarded and Galen’s nimble fingers moving quickly down the row of buttons on his white Oxford.

She couldn’t not stare. It was unfair. And he was reveling in it.

“And it is rare I find a woman to share a midday nap with. But here we are, soon to be married and destined to share a bed. How unfortunate for both of us.”

His tone held none of the hint that his words did. In fact, he sounded pretty damn pleased.

“I thought you had your ‘watch’,” Alexis tried, running out of arguments, and air, because the tops of Galen’s abs were exposed now and it was hard breathing and trying to keep from hyperventilating at the same time.

“Grear graciously extended his to allow me time with you. I think he’s hoping to catch me in a lie. All the more reason why we shouldn’t allow that to happen.”

“I’m not that tired.” It was the last vestige of defiance she had.

When Galen shrugged off his shirt, Alexis had to deal with more than the problem of her sleeping arrangement.

Her fiancé, correction, her fake fiancé was smoking hot. Literally. She thought she spied a slight sliver of a plume of smoke wafting up from his nostrils as Galen kept his gaze on her while continuing to undress.

“Yes, you are,” he said as the belt came undone, goosebumps prickling on Alexis’ skin from the sound of the metal buckle clinking.

“I don’t have anything to wear.”

The look he gave her told her that he’d prefer that to stay that way.

“Behind you. Take a shirt.”

Alexis whirled around, thankful for the reprieve, though her ears still caught the subtle sound of pants being removed and neatly folded. She found a t-shirt (surprised that he wore those at all) the color of his eyes and rushed to the bathroom, wiggling out of the dress and pulling the shirt on.

“You can do this. All an act. It’s fine,” she chanted to herself, looking nervously at her reflection in the mirror.
