“Why are you looking at me like that?” I ask.
“There’s something about the way you talk about her.”
“What do you mean?”
My brother stares at me. “Is she the problem?”
“Fuck, yes.”
“I’m going out on a limb here. Your relationship with her isn’t strictly business.”
I shake my head. “Not anymore.”
“Beckett, what the hell were you thinking?” he says. “I thought you never crossed that line.”
“Technically, she isn’t an employee.”
“Perhaps, but you have to work with her.”
“I know that.”
“Is your problem related to you fucking her one night and then moving on to another woman the next?”
I shoot him a stern glare.
His daring gaze zeros in on me.
“Don’t look at me like that, Beckett. That’s how you operate.”
“I’ve never spent the night with a woman—”
“Is that supposed to be news?”
I shake my head in frustration. “We ended up having to share accommodation of a sort—”
“There was a shortage of rooms?” Holt asks.
I tell him about the inn’s mix-up.
“Got it!”
“We ended up in rooms flanking a Jack and Jill bathroom… except she never slept in her bed.”
Holt’s head jerks back. “You’re kidding?”
I’ve been with plenty of drop-dead gorgeous women like Arianne before. I’ve also been with unattainable women, kinky women, downright nasty women, two women at a time, and somehow my nights of pleasure with Miss Holy Chic were more stirring and unforgettable than anything I’ve experienced in the past. The first time I allow a woman this close and she blows my fucking mind.
“I’m dead serious, Holt.”
“Did it start in Germany?”
“No. We started hooking up right here in LA.”
I give him the lowdown.
“It was fun and games at first, but what happened in Germany was unexpected,” I say.
“That doesn’t even make sense,” Holt says. “If it was hot and heavy before you left, surely, you knew it would escalate since there would be no witnesses.”
