I wouldn’t bite off anything if he touched me. The stupid fluttering in my chest gives me this insane impulse to bring back his smile. I think if I touched you right now, you’d bite off my hand.” You might find you’ll enjoy where it takes you when I’m the one driving.” I get that you’re protective of your career, but you need to unbend your spine a bit and settle in for the ride. It’s like being in ninth grade and having the captain of the varsity football team tell you he likes-you likes you. But even more than that, warmth flutters through my chest. Heat streaks up my body, and my cheeks flame. “Well,” he says with a chuckle, “I suppose I can personally attest to that.” I ignore his fortune-cookie philosophy and say, “I do not have a stick up my ass.” And I think if you remove the stick from your ass for a few minutes, you might find that there’s an upside to being married to me too. “I think I’m going to like being married to you, Holly. The smile dies, and I feel guilty that I’m the one who killed it. “What?” he replies with a shake of his head. “What?” I ask, unable to handle his scrutiny for another moment. The sex can’t be anything out of the ordinary for him, so is this all nothing more than a billionaire’s whim?īut that look he’s still giving me as we speed toward the airport, that soft one hinting at more going on behind the surface? What the hell is that? Is he still in acting mode?Īnd why do I care so much? I need to focus on my agenda and let him deal with his own crap. I think part of my problem is that Creighton’s motives are still a complete mystery to me. But now that the wedding is over, I have no idea how this is going to work, despite his promise earlier. My plan only included using Karas as leverage to free myself from the disaster with JC, along with the added bonus of having some phenomenal sex. When we climb into the limo, I’m feeling very uncertain about this whole thing.
I swear I hear the camerawoman directly in front of me sigh. He skillfully dodges the ones about JC, but he never looks away from me while he does it. The press keeps firing questions, and Creighton answers them in vague generalities.
