CHAPTER SEVEN

“YOU’RE BREAKING THE rules,” she told him, her teeth clenched.

“We didn’t set any rules,” he pointed out. To that end, they’d hardly talked at all before she’d gone and served him with divorce papers.

“Not in so many words—” she allowed.

But he was more specific than that because it worked in his favor. “Not in any words.”

“They were implied,” she told him indignantly.

“Well, like you always said,” he reminded her, “I can’t seem to read your mind.”

He wasn’t exactly holding her down, but the weight of his arm across her waist was pinning her in place. Perhaps too easily, she conceded, but right now, she wasn’t up to physically pushing him away with enough force to get free. Besides, he was supposed to let her go of his own accord—if there was a shred of decency left inside him.

“What do you want me to say?” she demanded heatedly. “That I’m still attracted to you? Fine, I’m still physically attracted to you.” She glared at him. His face was barely inches away. “That doesn’t change anything when we’re out of bed.”

“All right,” he said amicably, “then we’ll just stay in bed.”

“What, for the rest of our lives?” she demanded. Was he crazy?

He didn’t say yes; he didn’t say no. He gave her an answer that worked for him under these conditions. “Let’s just take it one day at a time.”

He sounded as if he had every intention of staying in bed all day today. That was unacceptable. “We just promised Nick to run interference for him, remember?”

Devlin inclined his head, indicating that he forgot nothing. “If we invite him and Cara to our cabana and no one tells her when the father and the child bride arrive, that might solve all the problems.”

“Right, and start a whole bunch of others,” Amy bit off. They couldn’t stay in bed all day. What was he thinking?

The corners of his mouth curved in a vague hint of a smile. “I don’t see it that way.”

She’d had enough. “I’m going to get up, shower and get dressed. You―” she waved at him dismissively “―do what you want.”

The next moment, instead of planting her feet on the floor, Amy found herself being pulled back onto the bed. And then there he was, bringing his mouth down on hers. Kissing her.

Initially, she struggled. Or at least told herself that she struggled—and then, suddenly, for the space of a few stretched-out seconds, Amy completely forgot why she was struggling.

Instead, she was melting, melting just the way she always did. Melting into Devlin’s kiss, into him.

And just when she was on the brink of losing herself in pleasure, Devlin surprised her by drawing back, away from her.

It took Amy a second to catch her breath, another second before she could form words coherently.

“Why did you just do that?” she asked in a raspy whisper. Was it just to feed his ego? To prove to himself that he could still turn her inside out whenever he wanted? That
