She followed him to a large, hefty Chrysler with dark-tinted windows and a dazzling chrome grill. Before unlocking the door for her, he opened the trunk and loaded her things. As soon as she climbed into the passenger seat, buttery leather engulfed her. Despite being an unattractive corporate car, it was really comfy. He turned to face her as he climbed into the driver's seat and grinned. He acknowledged that it was pompous, but the clients were impressed. That was understandable, of course, it was. She simply smiled and nodded as she watched him drive the tank of a car onto the freeway and out of the parking lot. She shakily said, "So, Nathan, what did you have to talk to me about?" Oh, okay, I almost forgot, he said. He gave her a fleeting glance. "I have a big favor to ask of you." She said, "Oh, sure," feeling let down that it wasn't the proclamation of love she had anticipated. "Anything." He said, "One of Ainsley's bridesmaids pulled out." "I don't recall the specifics, b

However, it's also possible that after seeing Blue, Nathan understood what he was sacrificing. Perhaps the moron who was his stepbrother had a flash of insight and saw what a wonderful lady Blue was and how fantastic it would be to have her in his life permanently. After all, wasn't it what she desired? Didn't he want her to be content as well? Yes, he did, but only because he didn't want her to be content with Nathan. Brian wished he could be the one to bring her joy. He desired to be the one who caused her to catch her breath and for her eyes to shine. He desired to be the one to wet her underwear, cause her nipples to protrude, and feel her legs around him as she sobbed in the heat of passion. Without a doubt, he didn't want Nathan to be in charge of any of it. When the vehicle came to a stop, Brian peered out the window at his stepfather's beautiful mansion. Despite his wealth, he had a godawful taste. The motorist opened his door after getting out and turning around. Brian exi

Brian entered the lobby of Oceans Resort precisely at seven and promptly stopped in his tracks. Blue stood there waiting for him, her hair a tumble of rose gold curls down her back. Up until now he had only ever seen her in a dress or nothing at all, but tonight she was wearing skinny jeans and nude heels that made her arse and her legs look mouthwatering, like, seriously. His mouth literally watered at the sight of them. Don't get the wrong idea, she’d looked great in a dress, and amazing naked, but in tight jeans that cupped her arse like a lover’s hands? He was already hard as a rock just from the sight and all he wanted to do was to walk up behind her and rub the evidence of his arousal over those perfect, plump cheeks. But he didn’t. He did walk up behind her though, and lifted his hand to move her thick hair to the side and over her opposite shoulder so he could press a soft, lingering kiss to the tender skin under her ear. He felt her stiffen and then relax against h

She shook head. "No, he had some work to catch up on." She turned to Blue. "Mum, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Blue. Blue, this is my mother, Maree." "Blue?" His mother asked as she pulled Blue in for a hug. "That's Irish's nickname for me," Blue said with a giggle, “Because of my red hair. My real name is Cassie." "Irish?" His mother asked, quirking an eyebrow at him. It was his turn to chuckle. "That's Blue's nickname for me," he said, sliding his arm around Cassie's waist and pulling her back in to his side. “Because of my devastatingly handsome green eyes.” He liked Cassie nestled in beside him and he didn't even want to acknowledge how good it felt to call her his girlfriend. His mother laughed delightedly. "Well, it's lovely to meet you, Cassie. I can't tell you how surprised I was when Brian told me he had a date for the wedding." Cassie stiffened against him and she turned narrowed eyes on him. "Let's sit down," he said, avoiding

Cassie and Brian shared a look, one full of heat at the memory of how they met the first time. Cassie hadn’t been able to look at tequila, salt, or limes the same way since. “Irish picked me up in a bar,” Cassie said and he laughed heartily. Maree smiled uncertainly. “It’s true,” he told his mother. “I walked into a bar one night in Melbourne after a particularly bad day dealing with CASA and there she was. Fortunately, there was an empty barstool beside her, so I took it.” “Yes,” Cassie said, picking up the commentary, “and I was just coming out of a messy break-up and was trying valiantly to drown my sorrows.” “How long ago was this?” Maree asked, hanging off every word. “About six months ago,” Cassie replied. “You’ve been dating for six months?” Maree asked, her eyes swinging to Brian in accusation. He laughed. “Not exactly,” he said, “but we have been emailing back and forth. Cassie works for the PR firm that we hired to promote the new airline.” And just like that

She nodded and stepped out of the elevator. She looked back as the doors closed and she looked so lost he wanted to reach out and keep the doors from closing. He wanted to go to her and comfort her and tell her it was all going to be okay. But he couldn’t tell her that. This was what she wanted…she wanted Nathan, not him, and he refused to be a second choice or a substitute. The doors closed, cutting off his view of her and he leaned his head back against the mirrored wall, exhaling harshly. He clenched his teeth and forced himself to change the direction of his thoughts. He and Cassie were in a fake relationship and that’s all it could be unless she walked away from her silly infatuation with his stepbrother. The doors opened again on his floor and he carded his way into the penthouse suite. He kicked off his shoes and loosened the top button on his shirt. He grabbed his phone and sat on the balcony overlooking the dark beach. It was June and winter in the sunshine state, but it

Cassie followed Brian's directions and waited for him in the lobby. Because of his tender caresses and tender kisses from the previous evening, she had barely slept at all. She was certain he would ask her to spend the night with him when they had entered the elevator after supper, and she would have agreed. Rather, they had a disagreement and he had declined her request for a nightcap, allowing her to go. She had gone to bed feeling bewildered, upset, and in urgent need of anything to ease her inside pain. She had been thinking about anything other than Nathan for a change. Brian was there. Trying to make Nathan jealous, she was going to enter a brunch with Nathan and his fiancé on the stepbrother's arm. The tricky part, though, was that she wasn't sure whether it was still what she wanted. She had changed completely after spending time with Brian, and Nathan no longer seemed like the bright spark she had always thought he was. As soon as the elevator doors opened, Brian entere

"So, what's the plan of action?" he inquired, interrupting her. "Strategy," she inquired. His nod was incisive. "For Sunday brunch. Nathan must not be aware that I am your date. "Oh, no," she replied, "but he is aware that I own one." So what now? We simply enter and ask, "Surprise?" She questioned, "Do you have a better idea?" He chewed out, "No," and groaned. "Anyway, surprise is probably preferable because you can witness his first response without giving him a chance to adjust to the concept." She pivoted to gaze outside the window. The encounter with Nathan was not something she was looking forward to, especially not in front of so many strangers. Although he had never been overly attached to her, he had also never had to face the fact that they were dating. And the man he was constantly competing with was his stepbrother. The fact that Brian was wealthier, more accomplished, and, some would argue, more attractive did not help. Nathan felt even more inadequate in
