CHAPTER 19
Devil May Care
Heâd forgotten how it felt â waking up to a girl he actually liked.
First, there was a warm rush of Won Her victory trailed by a hot swell of Keep Her desire... both of which were then stabbed through the heart by an icy blade of Donât Be A Ruddy Fool, You Daft Wanker.
âAnyoneâs the Devil in this room, itâs you,â he whispered as he slid a lock of hair out of her sleeping face. âPut me under a spell but good.â
The corners of her mouth turned up.
Iâll be damned. Heâd be remiss if he didnât announce the occasion: âThereâs my smile.â
Her eyes fluttered open. She focused on him, her smile faded, and then came the inevitable face of morning-after regret heâd been hoping to delay: âOh, god.â
He rolled his eyes.
Ivy sat up and held her head. âOh, god!â
âIs this the part where you blame the absinthe and play at not remembering?â Sever wasnât having it. She may have been buzzed enough to shed her inhibitions, but heâd bet his entire fortune she knew perfectly damned well what she was doing. âIf so, wake me when it all comes flooding back.â
âSever! This was easy for you. Not for me, okay?â
That... made sense. âYeah, okay.â
âYou had nothing to lose. I have... everything... Oh, god.â
She was falling apart. He sat up, touched her hair. âIvy. He doesnât ever have to know.â
âYou donât understand.â She swatted his hand away. âThatâs not the way I am. I donât know how I can ever face him again!â
âSo donât,â Sever said with an ever-so-casual shrug, not sure where the idea was coming from. âStay here with me. Here in Paris.â
âAre you crazy?â She goggled at him.
âMaybe.â As he searched her eyes, he caught an interesting flicker. âBut part of you likes the idea.â
She turned away with a scoff. âEvery part of me wishes to God I had never done this.â
Affronted, he thumbed her spot, made her quiver. âEvery part?â
âStop!â She spun away, covering her breasts with the sheet. âLook. I admit it, okay, you are... amazing in bed. Youâre... superhumanly amazing. I canât say I didnât enjoy some... moments.â At his arched brow, she corrected, âOr even the whole... yeah, okay, all of it, but itâs over now. You got what you wanted from me and now I have to get out of here and face my mistakes and figure out what to do.â
âI think you misinterpreted my use of the word âaffairâ, Ivy. I want to have an affair with you. Not a fling. Not a one-night stand. Affair implies a long-term commitment and thatâs what I intend to have with you.â
âYou donât get to decide these things alone! Relationships are not one-sided.â
âThis isnât one-sided! You were right there with me last night, body and soul. You looked at me likeâ ââ
âI looked at you like I look at everyone I have sex with.â
âOh, so thatâs just your game.â
âYou think you know me, just because we...â Her mouth tightened. âYou donât.â
Before she got out of bed, he seized her by the waist, pulled her down to her side and held her tight.
