ALLIE

The Wedding Day, 9:30 A.M.

Allie woke up early, which was a miracle considering the energy she’d expended the night before. Sex with Dutch was everything she’d always thought it would be. Rough, in that they tore at each other’s clothes and pushed each other against walls, but gentle in the way they stroked each other. Experimental in the sense that one time was on the bathroom sink, but traditional in that once was romantic and in bed. Either way—hot.

The alarm clock said it was nine-thirty A.M. Shit. She had to be in hair and makeup by eleven, which meant they probably didn’t have time to order room service. If he even wanted to stay. Without turning over, she knew Dutch was still beside her—she’d forgotten how the heaviness of a man in your bed tilted the mattress, and how her sheets wouldn’t kick up easily because they were wrapped around someone else’s legs.

Despite her drunkenness, she remembered everything. He didn’t pause before he took her hand and led her out of the lobby bar right after she’d propositioned him. In the elevator, he smiled at her and then pulled her toward him and kissed her. His lips were soft and hungry, and his tongue’s presence in her mouth reminded her how badly she’d wanted him. Her legs were wrapped around him before the door opened. She fumbled for her keycard as he unzipped her dress in the hallway in front of her door. They’d barely made it inside fully clothed.

He lazily flung his arm around her and made a sleeping noise. A purr. She smiled to herself and then slithered out from underneath him and snuck out of bed to check herself in the mirror before he woke up. Her hair was still in one piece, but her face had a flush—either from the kissing or the orgasms. After swirling mouthwash, she grabbed her toothbrush and went to town, then splashed warm water on her face to wash away any sleep grease that had accumulated. She’d considered applying her lip gloss, but that was too much. Even for her.

Dutch was awake and staring at her as she exited the bathroom.

“Good morning,” he said, then smirked sexily.

“Hi,” she said, and sat on the bed next to him.

He looked at the alarm clock. “I’m going to go—”

Her heart sank, but she didn’t want to give away her disappointment. “I know, it’s okay,” she interrupted in lieu of having him finish the sentence. “Look, we were drunk and—”

She was stopped by Dutch’s finger on her lips. “Shhhh. I’m going to go and get us some coffee from downstairs. Maybe stop and brush my teeth in my room. I’ll be back in ten minutes.” He pecked her on the head, found his clothes from three different piles on the floor, then dressed and left.

Allie plopped herself down on the bed on her back and stretched out her arms, staring at the ceiling. Was this going to change everything? Their dynamic had always been on the flirty side, but he was Dutch, and she was Allie.
