"Not as long as I’m your guardian."

"I am an adult; I don’t need a guardian," she bites out.

"Tell that to your brother."

Her scowl deepens. "You know I won’t disturb him, not when he needs every bit of his attention focused on the tour."

"Not my problem."

"I really, really do hate you," she says in a low voice.

"Mission accomplished." I make the motion of dusting my hands, then lean back in my seat. "Also, I may have the perfect solution for the situation."

"A perfect solution?" She mirrors my stance and leans back as well, then folds her arms across her chest.

"You want to find a way of salvaging my reputation with the media, correct?”

"And with your sponsors." She tilts her head. "Aren’t you worried that they’ll drop you with all this negative press?"

"They can’t afford to."

"You sound very confident."

"I put bums on seats in the stadium." I crack my neck. "I have the kind of looks that attract women and have them keenly follow the sport along with their men. The women like my bad boy reputation and the men want to be me. The furor around the brawls I pick up only stokes my fame. It’s what makes me irreplaceable."

"No one's irreplaceable."

"I am." I stretch out my legs. Her gaze drops to my thighs, then between them. She stares, then flicks out her tongue to touch her bottom lip. I’m instantly hard. My cock presses up against the fabric over my crotch, and her breath catches. I widen my stance, and place my arms by my sides, giving her an unrestricted view. Her chest rises and falls. No doubt, she remembers how it feels to have me inside of her, fucking her and making her come over and over again.

But that was only the beginning. I’ve had enough time away from her to come up with the filthiest fantasies of what I’d do to her when I saw her next. And while I hadn’t thought I’d get the chance to act upon them, I’m going to make the most of the opportunity that has presented itself.

I twist my lips and the pulse at the base of her throat beats faster.Fuck me, but she’s aroused.And so am I. And if we stay here any longer, I won’t be able to stop myself from throwing her down on the floor and taking her a-n-d… No way, am I going there. Not yet.

I clear my throat. She flushes, then tips up her chin. "Uh, you were saying?"

"I believe I have the makings of a plan."

"Oh?"

I nod. "You want to salvage my reputation."

"You meanyouwant me to salvage your reputation." She tips up her chin.

"Indeed." I incline my head. “As my Communications Manager, I’m sure you’ll want to do everything possible to restore my character.”

“I suppose I do,” she nods slowly

"Well then, it’s settled."

"Wait, what?” She leans forward. “What do you mean? What’s settled?"

"You’re marrying me."

"Not for real, of course. He claims it’s a fake relationship. We spread the word that I’m his fiancée, and make sure the media picks it up. That way, it shows he’s reforming, shows he’s ready to settle down. Also, it explains his possessive behavior." The words pour out of me as I talk to Solene on the phone.
