Chapter 14

As Belle and Flynn leaned against a planter waiting for their food, she told herself she was being ridiculous to worry about what Flynn thought of her. Marco was the man she wanted. Flynn was just…an obstacle to get around. And okay, she’d had fun snorkeling with him. He was interesting, intelligent, and, if pressed, she had to admit he was an amazing kisser. But he’d also tricked her, been dishonest. He’d pretended an interest in her only to keep her from Marco.

Belle absentmindedly ran her hand against the ledge of the planter. “We should probably get our relationship story straight so we don’t contradict each other in front of your family. Do you come to New York on the weekends to see me? Is that how we’ve been dating?”

He considered her question. “Every other weekend, you come to DC. That way it’s not one-sided.”

“Right. Heaven forbid I take advantage of you in our fake relationship.”

“But I don’t stay at your place,” he added, emphasizing the point. “My parents wouldn’t approve of that. At all. In fact, my mother would cry if she thought we were sleeping together, so as far as this reunion is concerned, you have your own hotel room, and we’re waiting until we’re married.”

Belle had known Marco came from a religious family. In college, Marco went to church every Sunday. But Belle hadn’t thought that Flynn would be the same in that regard.

“Your parents don’t know you’re an incurable playboy?”

He laughed at the assumption. “I’m too busy with work to be an incurable playboy.”

“You said you come to Cancun a lot. You must find free time somewhere.”

“Bainbridge does business here, and I’m the only partner who speaks Spanish.”

She surveyed him, let her eyes drift over the curve of his cheek and the line it made as it formed his sculpted jaw. She supposed it was only fair that God made two copies of that face. A work so impressive ought to be replicated.

“You can deny the label, but you still give off the incurable playboy vibe. Handsome, rich, kissing women you barely know, and then taking them off on sunrise cruises.”

He lifted an eyebrow. “If I remember right, you kissed me first.”

“Yes, but you clearly knew how to do it. Really well.”

He smiled at her, and if she hadn’t known better, she would have thought he was flirting with her. “Maybe you inspired me. Probably because you’re an incurable…what’s the female equivalent of a playboy? Partier? Seductress?”

She shook her head. “I’m neither. I’ve been too busy at Fontaine to date much. Besides, I work mostly with women. And the one straight, single guy I work with…” Thoughts of Sebastien nearly made her shudder. “If you do end up buying my company, let’s just say I know someone who needs a demotion.”

“Now you’ve intrigued me. What’s his story?”

She didn’t tell it. She was reviewing the last six years of her life and realizing how few dates she’d gone on. She’d met men at nightclubs who were
