I sighed."I'm not going to tell you, but if you guess in the ballpark, I wouldn't deny it."

Macy clapped her hands together and laid the bag of gummy bears aside."Okay, um, I saw you wearing a massive rock in that picture, and you can't tell me that was costume jewelry.That shit was real.The kind of elegance those Park Avenue princesses wear.Was that really an engagement ring?"

I sighed and nodded, then pulled my chain out to show her the ring.

She and Morgan both whistled low when they saw it.

Her eyes went wide."But you just met the guy.You don't even know him.I would have known if you were dating.You never leave this place."

I shrug."Sometimes things move fast."

"No...You never leave this place, and you've been chasing down money because Becks is a shit show.Your father hasn't been able to manage all his acquisitions.He spent more money than he had, and now the piper has come for payment and he doesn't have it.Which means he needs to sell off parts of the company."

I rubbed the back of my neck.Sometimes, I hated having smart friends.

"Okay, so I'm in the ballpark.So… Oh my God, is this an arranged-marriage kind of thing?"

I sighed."Morgan, I feel like you prepped her."

"I did not!"my sister said indignantly.

Macy shook her head."Well, the moment I saw the ring and the gossip rags, I assumed something was going on.At first I thought maybe they were exaggerating.Because you know how they immediately love to put two sets of rich people together.But let's face it, you're not the usual demographic.And while people don't know it, you're no longer as rich as you used to be."

"Yeah, thanks for pointing that out."

"I still want you to have everything you have ever wanted.So rich is good, but you're not the usual type of socialite.You actually work for a living, for one thing.And you’re hella smart.I'm guessing Pendragon wants a partnership, and your father is pushing for marriage."

"Well, that's that, I guess."

Macy shrugged."So, how big is his dick?"

I choked on a gummy bear, and half of it went down the wrong pipe.Morgan and Macy both jumped up and came over to pat me on the back until we dislodged it."Oh my God, I don't know,” I sputtered.

Macy laughed."I'm so sorry I almost killed you, but how was I supposed to know you were going to clutch your pearls at the mention of his dick size?"

"I havenotseen his dick yet.We have agreed to take it slow.At least that part of the relationship.Everything else is moving at warp speed."

I eased back in my chair and hoped Macy would forgive my lies.

I slanted Morgan a glance as she dug through the gummy bear bag for the green apple ones and said, "I knew something was going on with you two.The way you jumped up to volunteer and the way he watched you at dinner… I mean, I know I thought the guy was cold, but there’s something about you that thaws his frigid exterior a little.It's so hot."

"Wasn't that you calling him the Ice King just yesterday?"

"That was before you said you were going to try and work on things.So, how big is his dick?"

I rolled my eyes."I wouldn't know.I told you I haven’t seen it."

Morgan and Macy both shook their heads at me, and my sister said, "Well, that's something you are going to have to rectify soon because you don't want to be tied to someone forever if you don't know what you're working with."

"Will both of you relax?It's not going to be a problem."

My sister watched me as Macy finished off the bag of gummy bears.I was going to have to be careful.There was no hiding anything from her.One little slip and she'd see exactly how I felt about Atticus Price and his kisses.

Chapter20

Atticus

For the restof the day, I'd been plagued by what Gwen had said.
