CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Garrick

There’s no time to brush my teeth or wash my face. I need to get in this bed and fall asleep before Blue gets in here and I do something dumber than almost kissing her.

Thank God my big brain kicked in at the last moment.

I cannot get physical with my fake girlfriend, who is also the mayor. I can’t work with her after I’ve seen her naked. And what if she falls for me?

Although, moving my business to Sugar Valley is an option now… No, I’m not going to risk my business just to get to see Blue naked. To slide into her heat, feel her undulate beneath me…

And now I’m hard. Shit. Fuck.

I strip down to my boxers, get into the double bed, and pull the comforter over my head. We would have more guest bedrooms in this house if my siblings weren’t all refusing to move out.

Which is exactly what my parents want.

I roll to my back, unable to get comfortable. My parents always get what they want.

And the fact that I’m even considering moving Evergreen Expeditions here means they’re way too close to getting what they want from me.

My hands fist as anger vibrates through me. Will they never stop manipulating me?

I don’t care what Blue thinks, she will never understand what it is to have a big, happy family who all find me lacking. Who will pull whatever strings necessary to win.

I need to get back to Yuletide and focus on my business. I do not need to move close enough for my parents to meddle in my life.

I flip onto my side and stare at the wall. Sleep. I need to be asleep when Blue gets here.

She should have been here already.

Maybe she decided to sleep on the couch and avoid me altogether. Perfect. That’s the best solution for both of us.

I flip onto my stomach, face pressed into the pillow. I’ll just wake up early and bring her back here so my family doesn’t find her on the couch.

It shouldn’t be any problem for me to wake up early. I’ve always been a morning person.

I listen for the sound of Blue’s footsteps on the hardwood floors. Nothing.

What if I don’t wake up in time? Most of my family are also early risers and a few of them are still in the stay-out-all-night creep-in early phase.

I don’t know how my siblings can stand to still live at home. They’ve never complained to me about our parents’ meddling, so maybe they like it.

Hudson claims he’s just saving up to buy his own place, but he’s got his own separate entrance to the house, as do all my siblings, and his suite has a kitchen and a sitting area.

He’ll probably move his wife in if he can ever find anyone to marry him.

With a sigh, I kick off the comforter, roll out of bed, grab my robe from the hook in the bathroom and hurry through the chilly house back to the parlor, where I expect to find Blue curled up on the couch.
