He wasn’t fucking with menow.

The intensity in his blue eyes said it all, as they burned into me with that look that could give youfrostbite.

“No,” I said, so calmly I kind of scared myself. I didn’t even know where the words came from, but they were coming out of my mouth. “It. Was.Fake.”

“It wasn’tfake.”

“It wasn’treal,” I protested, my brain groping madly for an explanation that would make his words makesense.

“You thought it was fake?” he asked, his eyebrows drawing together in a dangerously pissed-offlook.

What the fuck washappening?

“You thought it wasreal?”

“Why would it befake?”

“Why would it bereal?”

I jumped up, untangling Zane’s naked body from mine and scrabbling off the bed, pulling the sheet with me as ashield.

“No. Nuh-uh. That was a pretend ceremony and you paid the chapel guy to…to…”

“To marry us?” he finished forme.

Oh.God.

“For fuck’s sake, Zane! Youdidn’t.”

“Pretty fucking sure I did.” He rubbed a hand over his face, looking sleepy and irritated asfuck.

Too fucking bad! He didn’t get to be pissed at me. Not whenhe—

“Jesus!” I jabbed my left hand in the air. “These stupid cheaprings?”

He glanced from the ring to my face, looking unimpressed as shit, and cocked that wicked pierced eyebrow atme.

“These are supposed to be stupid cheap rings, Zane,” I informed him, anger rising along with the panic. “Like pretend, ‘Ha ha, I just fake-married my friend in Vegas because it’s hilarious’rings.”

“If you sayso.”

He started to drag himself up off the bed, giving me an eyeful of his godlike body and his stupid gorgeousdick.

“No. No, we did not. I did not. I couldn’t have. I did not justmarryyou…” I babbled on, clinging to the sheet like alifeline.

“Actually, sweetheart,” he said, “you did. Maybe you remember that part where you said ‘I do’ or the paperwork wesigned?”

He wandered out of the room, giving me an eyeful of his sculpted ass… then he returned, holding the vest he’d worn to our wedding last night. Ourfakewedding. “I’m gonna take a shower,” he said, sounding kinda disgusted as he dug something from the inside pocket of the vest and tossed it at me. “And by theway…”

It landed on the bed just in front ofme.

A small, red velvetbox.

A ringbox.

“… there’s your legitproposal.”

Against my better sense, I picked up the box and opened it… to find a gorgeous platinum ring with a big-ass diamond staring me in theface.
