The moment she’d clarified she wasn’t in love with Matt, he’d begun to formulate his plan. First, he would be by her side as her father passed. No demands, just that she let him support her.
Then he would tell her she was not going back to work.
Aidan rested his hip on the counter and looked around the luxurious hotel lobby.
Whoever Handsy Matt was, Aidan was going to enjoy meeting him. Aidan was one of the wealthiest men in the world. Matt Whoeverthefuckheis would soon find out he was Lily’s man.
And never touch her again.

HE BALANCED THE PHONEin his hand and punched the combination on the door of the hotel suite.
“I’m on my honeymoon,” Logan groaned.
“Then make sure you have pants on when I’m talking to you.” Aidan smirked and his brother laughed as he tugged on his shorts.
“How was the flight?” Logan asked.
“Long. But I’m here. You can tell Emma Lily’s dad is still with us.”
“Did you meet him?” Logan asked, surprised.
“No. I met her mom, though. She’s an older and pretty version of Lily.”
There was a brief silence, then Logan said, “You really like this girl.”
Yeah, he did.
“Obviously. I could have fucked any number of women in Hawaii. Lily was the only one who had my attention. Then and now,” he replied.
“Emma isn’t happy.”
Fuck Emma.
He wasn’t going to say that out loud.
“Tell her my intentions are pure. Again.” He rolled his eyes as he dropped his bags on the bed and zipped open his suitcase.
Then propped the phone up on the table and began to unpack. His last-minute booking meant he didn’t get a penthouse suite, but the executive room was big enough for now. If he ended up staying longer, he’d pull some strings.
“She doesn’t believe you,” Logan replied.
What if I said I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her?
And why was it so hard for everyone to believe he might actually like a woman?
“Okay well, good talk,” Aidan said, putting his bag of toiletries in the bathroom and eyeing the shower. God, he couldn’t wait to be warm. “How’s Aimes?”
Maybe I’ll have a fucking bath.
There was a bunch of noise over the phone, and Logan and Emma began giggling. Fortunately, he couldn’t see, as he had his back to them.
“If you two are doing sexual things, I am hanging up,” he said, walking back out and planting his hands on his hips.
This time, Emma’s face was on the screen.
“My plan is working.” She grinned.
