CHAPTER ELEVEN

Harper’s belly continued to roll, and she wasn’t sure if it was morning sickness that had moved into the evening hours or if she was still reeling from agreeing to Ethan’s marriage proposal yesterday.

Either way, she was out of her element with both new chapters in her life.

And her father was due here soon. Would he even take interest in the fact he was going to be a grandfather or have a son-in-law? He’d barely grasped the whole fatherhood role, so she highly doubted he’d be very interested in donning the other two hats.

Harper eased into the bright blue floor-length gown and wondered how much longer until her waistline expanded. She never thought she’d be excited about getting larger, but she was. She wanted to see that round belly, wanted to embrace the magical gift that only a woman could experience.

The shimmering material caught the light as she turned side to side in the mirror. This dress was going to make Ethan’s eyes bug out of his head. Another magical spell women possessed. Men thought they were so tough, so strong, but in reality, a woman could render them speechless with such simple things…like a killer dress. Or a red bikini.

Tonight Mirage was hosting a mock casino night, and she wanted to go mingle with the guests, maybe even get a feel for what some of them thought about the resort. You could learn quite a bit just from small talk with people, and if she simply acted like any other guest, she might just discover the likes and dislikes the others felt toward Mirage.

The words still felt so foreign running through her mind. But she didn’t regret telling Ethan yes. Marriages were built on much less than what they had, as he’d pointed out.

Harper grabbed her small gold clutch from the dresser and slid her room key and red lip gloss inside. With a snap of the closure, she tucked the accessory beneath her arm and headed for the door.

The second she opened it, Harper let out a squeal and jumped back.

“Sorry.” Ethan stood there, fist raised and ready to knock. “Perfect timing.”

Harper put a hand to her chest and pulled in a shaky breath. “Perfect timing for a heart attack?”

Ethan’s eyes raked over her from head to toe and back up again. Harper’s heart beat fast for a totally new reason now. He stood before her in an all-black tux, looking both classy and dangerous. That messy hair had been calmed, but the stubble along his jaw lingered, as if he needed just that bit of scruff to remain true to himself.

“Have I told you today how sexy you are?” he murmured, taking a step forward and backing her into her suite.

“You don’t
