Chapter Eleven

The knock on her hotel room door was so soft she barely heard it over the sound of Aaron’s shower. Still in the sweatpants she’d slept in, Silver swung her legs over the edge of the mattress. She felt deliciously sore from last night with Garret—the last three nights really. She didn’t mind the stiffness in her muscles at all. Instead, it made her smile as she padded in her socks to the door. She opened it to find Garret and her smile grew broader.

“Sorry. I know it’s so early.” He cringed. “I wanted to get this over with while Skeeter was still asleep. It would be too hard to try and explain to him why you, me and Aaron had to talk in private and he couldn’t hear.”

“Good thinking.” She probably should have thought of that herself. Silver hooked a thumb in the direction of the bathroom. “Aaron’s just in the shower.”

Garret nodded. “I heard the water start from inside my room. That’s how I knew you guys were awake.”

Chances were he’d been lying in bed unable to sleep for a good part of the night, just the way she had been. Silver had told Garret everything was going to be simple. It had felt that way alone in his room, still riding the wave of hormones from her orgasm. But now, actually faced with telling Aaron, followed shortly by telling his friends, then hers, she wasn’t so sure.

The sound of the water stopped. They both turned toward the bathroom door. She drew in a deep breath. Any moment now that door would open and her overprotective and very opinionated brother would step out.

She glanced at Garret. “You sure you don’t just want to elope and not tell him anything?”

“Aaron’s a good friend to me, Silver.”

“I know.” She let out a sigh.

“Garret. Hey.” Aaron stepped out of the bathroom wearing his jeans but shirtless and barefoot. He glanced at the clock on the bedside table. “Sorry, are we late for breakfast or something? I had a few last night so my memory might not be so good, but I didn’t think we set a time.”

Silver was sure he’d had a few drinks, but she also was pretty sure he’d had at least one buckle bunny to go along with them. At least that was her guess judging by how late he’d gotten in.

“No. You’re not late.” Garret shook his head. “I, uh, wanted to talk to you about something.”

“Oh? Okay.” Aaron grabbed a T-shirt out of the drawer and pulled it over his head.

“We both wanted to ask your opinion about something.” Silver stepped forward and chose her words carefully.

Apparently not carefully enough. Aaron frowned at her. He knew her too well. “Why? What’s going on?” His gaze cut to Garret. “And how does it involve the both of you?”

Crap. This was not a promising beginning. “So you know how I feel about the health insurance situation in this country…”

“Yes.” Aaron crossed his arms and said the word painfully slow.
