Well, hell.

This is not how I saw this night unfolding.

Now that I’m in his truck, I realize what a bad idea it was to leave my silver Audi in the arena parking lot and take one car. I’m trapped with these people until Colby decides to drop me off.

Ugh.

Someone needs to explain why I make the worst decisions when I’m around this guy.

I peek at him from beneath the fringe of my lashes.

Even though I’m reluctant to admit it, the answer is obvious.

The guy is stupid hot.

But still…

It’s not like I haven’t been around good-looking men before. I live in LA. It’s hot people central there. Everyone is either an actor, model, or singer trying to make it in Hollywood. And for the most part, they’re ridiculously health conscious and looking for ways to turn back the hands of time. Whether that’s with wheatgrass shots, plastic surgery, goat Pilates, or the newest weight loss drugs that have flooded the market.

After nearly a decade of living and working there, I should be immune to his physical attributes.

Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth.

He flicks a glance in my direction and catches me staring. “What?”

A sizzle of electricity zips across my skin.

That right there is exactly what the problem is.

This kind of all-encompassing attraction isn’t something I’ve experienced before.

Not even with Axel.

I keep telling myself that if I give it enough time, it’ll eventually dissipate.

I mean…it has to, right?

That, unfortunately, has not turned out to be the case. If anything, these feelings have only intensified since our first run-in at Slap Shotz.

“This was a terrible idea,” I blurt, unwilling to share my innermost thoughts with him. “There’s no reason for me to meet your parents. You and I aren’t actually together.”

“Did you forget that we’re married?”

I’ve been so intent on him that it’s almost a surprise when he slides his truck into a parking spot outside the restaurant.

“How could I when you’re constantly reminding me?”

It’s a legit question.

For a guy who’s been portrayed as being anti-monogamous, he’s warmed to the idea of marriage with a ridiculous amount of ease.

It doesn’t make the least bit of sense.

He flashes a slow smile. The one that makes his dimples pop and wink.

As if on cue, my panties flood with heat.

I narrow my eyes. “Stop that right now.”

The grin intensifies as he fights back his laughter and feigns innocence. “What? What did I do?”

I stab a finger in his direction. “You know exactly what you’re doing.”

This man is completely dangerous.

Not to mention, shameless.

He lays a hand over his heart as his expression turns sincere. “Can you really blame me for attempting to seduce my wife?”

“Please.” With a snort, I pop the handle and exit the vehicle.

What I need is some fresh air to clear my head.

I don’t get more than three steps before Colby pulls up alongside me. He throws his arm around my shoulders and hauls me close enough to feel the sculpted muscles that shift and bunch beneath his sweatshirt as the woodsy scent of his cologne slyly inundates my senses, making it impossible to think straight.
