“Then why don’t I believe that?”
“Because you still think every woman on this planet wants to sleep with you.”
“Only the ones with good taste.”
“Seriously?”
I waved goodbye at Penelope as the town car reversed, then lowered my voice.
“You haven’t thought about being in my bed again since we broke up?” I asked.
“You can easily insert the necessary word into our contract without talking to me, Mr. Carter.”
“Answer the question.”
“We weren’t technically together for that long, Travis,” I said. “You weren’t mine, and I wasn’t yours.”
“Your body was.”
She sucked in a short breath. “Mr. Carter, I would appreciate it if you fixed the typo and kept things strictly professional from here on out.”
I said nothing.
I just stared at her, in utter awe that she was still the sexiest woman I’d ever seen. That to this day, no other woman came close.
“Hello?” She waved her hand in front of my face. “Hello?”

“I need to check the deal first.”
“Is one typo worth four million dollars?”
“It is if I don’t trust you.”
“Miss Brave—” I looked her up and down. “I need the next ninety days to go as smoothly as possible.”
“Then stop holding up the progress.”
“You’re not going to make this easy for me, are you?”
“Nothing about us has ever beeneasy.” She sighed and turned away, moving up the staircase.
I followed, and the flight attendant shut the door behind us.
As she settled into a seat next to Madeline, she glanced at her phone, and her eyes widened.
