Chapter Thirteen
“He can’t do this, can he?” Bailey asked, as she exited the courthouse with Nash and a marriage license in hand.
“Well, no. Not technically. But since it’s Judge Barclay and he’s about to retire, I’m pretty sure he thinks he can.”
“Well, there’s got to be some way we can get out of this.” When Nash didn’t respond, she realized he was no longer at her side and turned to see him standing frozen in the middle of the sidewalk, glaring at her. “What are you doing?”
“So you were planning on backing out of this marriage?”
“No, that’s not what I meant. It’s just all happening way too fast. I thought I’d have time to—”
“To what? Leave me high and dry while you run off to live in an igloo with my baby? I don’t fucking think so.”
Bailey waited for a lady to pass in front of her on the sidewalk before speaking. “Stop making a scene. I’m just saying it’s a little quicker than what I had in mind. I thought maybe a trial run on living together under the same roof would weed out any complications that might arise between us. You know, like roomies or something. At least until we figured out how everything would work.”
Nash stormed past, not bothering to wait for her. “Judge Barclay had you pegged—you are a damn flight risk. Sounds to me like you’re hoping this doesn’t work so you’ll have an excuse to leave.”
“That’s not it at all. I’m just being realistic.”
“No, you’re being a coward. I didn’t ask you to marry me because I wanted a goddamn roommate.”
“Well, then what the hell do you want?”
He stalled and turned to face her. The storm brewing in his eyes forced her to take a step back. “You really want to know?”
She hesitated, then nodded slowly.
“What I want is to drive my cock so far inside you that you come until your eyes roll permanently into the back of your head. Then the last thing you’re going to see me as is a fucking roommate. That’s what I want.”
Her mouth went dry. Most likely because it was hanging wide open. All she could say was, “Oh.”
“That’s all you’ve got to say?”
She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out, so she closed it again. Yep. Apparently so.
“Well, that’s just great.” He glanced at his watch. “You’ve got a little less than five hours to figure out what you’re going to do. I’ll be here at four o’clock. If you aren’t, then I guess that tells me everything I need to know.” Not bothering to wait for her response, Nash crossed the street and headed for his truck.
Bailey didn’t even try to stop him. He seemed even more upset with her after she hadn’t responded to his remark about what he wanted to do to her. But what the hell do you say to something so deliciously vulgar? Okay? Yes, please? Is now a good time for you? Because that’s exactly what she wanted to respond with, though the words refused to leave her mouth.
