CHAPTER FOURTEEN

A little cooling off.

Vale

“Whew!” Brooke says to me as Carter takes off his shirt.

“Hush!” I stop short of clamping a hand over her mouth.

“I just want to know why he didn’t take his shirt off the second he got here. I would’ve had a completely different opinion of him,” she says, fanning her face.

“You’re terrible,” I say with a laugh.

“Sorry,” she says, but she really doesn’t look sorry as she hands me a glass of iced tea from the picnic table.

Not that she’s wrong. AJ and Carter have been dominating the wedding games all day long—from hay-baling to cornhole to wood chopping and now football. He’s going to walk out of this weekend a living legend by the time all is said and done.

The men are well into their flag football game—the last big event of the day. It’s like a carnival out here with everyone laughing and cheering and trash-talking. All in good fun, of course.

At least, I think it is.

“Come on, AJ! Show that city boy what you’re made of, son!”

I have to turn my head and roll my eyes at my father’s outburst. Clearly, there’s only one city boy on the field. Carter is the quarterback, and his team is just short of the goal. The score is 24 to 20, in favor of AJ’s side.

I can’t believe I’m so invested in this silly game, but I am. If for no other reason than to prove some kind of point to my father.

“Come on, Carter!” I shout, jumping up and down with my arms over my head. “You can do it, baby!”

I’m shocked when he turns and winks at me before taking his stance. And I about melt into a little puddle.

AJ is directly across from him.

“AJ will go for the sack,” Lakelyn predicts.

“He’s very fast for a man of his size,” I admit. Really, he’s going to kill it in the pros, no matter where he signs. “But Carter will get it away before he has the chance. Wait and see.”

“You feel like putting money on it?”

“You got it. Ten bucks.”

We pinkie-swear as Carter makes his calls and then takes the snap.

AJ bursts into motion, rolling through the offensive line.

“There you go!” Lakelyn squeals.

But her joy is premature because Carter fakes right and then goes left, spinning away from AJ. He cuts up the middle and practically walks into the end zone.

“Yes! That’s what I’m talking about!” Not only am I excited to beat the team my dad was cheering for, but I also can’t help but sit here and drool over Carter.

My fake fiancé is damn fine.

And he kicked ass in all the events. Even hay-baling, which he had never done before today, seemed to come naturally to him. I know better than anyone here how he takes care of his body, and even I was impressed.

“My champion.” I take Carter’s face between my hands, plant a big smacker of a kiss on his lips, and then throw my arms around his neck.

“Oh my gosh, get me out of here,” he whispers in my ear as he hugs me.
