“Well, well, well.” The driver smiled at us through the rearview mirror. “I never thought I’d see the day when you settled down, Mr. Carter. How does it feel, sir?”
“Expensive.”
“Well, the future Mrs. Carter looks more than worth it.” He winked at me as he pulled onto the road. “I’m Mr. Faber, Miss. Looking forward to being at your service.”
“Thank you.” I returned his smile.
“Would you care to share the story of how you and your fiancée first met, Mr. Carter?”
“There’s not much to say,” Travis said. “It’s not a long story.”
“So? You used to keep me involved in everything. I didn’t even know you were dating someone.”
“Neither did I…” Travis muttered before looking at me. “I believe I can speak for us both when I say the attraction was instant. She came onto me at first sight.”
“No, Ihatedyou when we first met,” I said. “From the very moment you revealed that your name was ‘Travis Carter.’”
“Maybe I’m mixing my memories then, since I can only remember all the times I made youscream it.”
“I was faking all those screams.”Fuck professionalism. “Just like I’m faking things with you right now.”
“I find that hard to believe.” He hissed. “Back then, your orgasms didn’t cost me a dime. I gave them to you for free.”
“What did you just say?”
“I’m more than happy to repeat it.”
The driver rolled up the partition, and Ralph let out a long sigh.
“Jesus Christ…”

PRESENT DAY
TATIANA
Waldorf Astoria Luxury Condominiums
Las Vegas, Nevada
“Welcome to Las Vegas.” A bellman reached for my hand when we arrived at Travis’s condo. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss. I love that Mr. Carter has someone special in his life.”
“He will for at least three months.” I muttered, stepping out of the car with Travis on my heels.
He’d stared at me for the entire drive, trying to bait me into looking his way.
“My name is Benny.” The bellman led me toward an open elevator. “My job is to get whatever you need, whenever you need it. In case you’re not already aware, you can access the closest casino, Mr. Carter’s private garage, and a fine dining restaurant from the elevator in the west wing. Is there anything you’d like at this moment?”
“A lobotomy would be nice.”
“Awhat?”
“My fiancee said it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Travis narrowed his eyes at me. “She tends toslip out of charactersometimes.”
“Ah, I see.”
“The press isn’t aware of you being here yet,Sweetheart,” Travis said. “You should keep honing your skills and enjoy these moments of privacy while you can.”
