Excerpt
“We want what you didn’t give us before.” Though he tried to appear casual, relaxed, Cooper’s jaw twitched, betraying his tension.
The money. No doubt the money. She took
hold of the edge of the table, trying to stop her shaking. “What
might that be?”
“The chance to know about the other.”
He strummed his fingers on his knee.
Todd put a hand on her shoulder. “The
chance to show you the difference.”
They didn’t mention anything about
money. Her stomach twisted at the way Cooper stared her down as if
daring her to say no, and she shifted her gaze to Todd.
His eyes remained clouded, half closed.
The answer to her question came in the form of heat igniting between
her thighs. She shifted in her seat. What were they offering, a
challenge, a choice, or her ultimate fantasy?
“What if I say no?”
Neither man answered.
One night with them. Her mind screeched
to a halt. Instead of her dream, she pictured tomorrow morning,
getting back on a plane to South America, returning to the small
marketing consulting gigs that barely paid her rent, and spending her
nights waiting to be found out. She needed to locate her spine and
get what she truly needed out of the night. “One night and we
part?”
Todd moved in closer. “Isn’t this
what you always wanted?”
Yes, that was everything she wanted and
planned for five years ago. Of course, back then it wasn’t one
night, it was forever.
Wait, she couldn’t want. Her wants
didn’t count.
What she needed was to get up in the
morning without a bulls-eye on her back.
She licked her lips. “No
repercussions or retaliation?” They both knew her well and
understood her question.
Silence. Even the waves seemed to stop.
At last, they both nodded.
She took a breath. When she walked away
tomorrow, she’d make sure she didn’t replace the bull’s-eye
with a heart broken beyond repair, and haunting memories.
Decision made, she pushed her chair
back, and stood. “Did you get a room?”
Rather than living her fantasy, she
would give them theirs and take nothing more from them. No enjoyment,
no dreams, not one more thing.
Maybe she’d walk away with something
she hadn’t had in years.
Peace.
