What?

“Tyler, a month you didn’t even want to deal with my father because you didn’t want him to be another obstacle standing in your way? And now you want him involved in this?”

He gave her one of those grins he used to give her when they were just friends. The ones that seemed to help make everything feel casual and okay, but this time it didn't work. Everything was different.

“Things were different then,” Tyler told her, “I'm sure Lord Fuckface will understand,” ignoring her grimace, he co

    He let her go and set the first aid kit on the bathroom counter. He rummaged through it for cotton and antiseptic. “Turn around.” He dabbed antiseptic on the cotton. “This might sting.”When the cool liquid touched her raw skin she tensed and sucked in a breath.“Sorry, baby.” He dabbed slowly and gently, starting at the top and working his way down.She wondered what he was thinking as he did. When he was done, he tossed the used cotton in the trash and turned her toward him. “You good?” he asked. She nodded, but he sat on the edge of the counter and pulled her closer, between his slightly parted knees. God, he was beautiful. And she must be completely nuts, totally off her rocker to be standing here naked with him, casually chatting, as though they hadn’t just had sex so wild and out of control that they’d required first aid afterward.And it would be a lie if she said she didn’t want to do it again.He pried her arms from their position guarding her chest and took her hands in hi

    She liked being the one in control. She continued her exploration downward, just below his silky waistband, teased him there. “Tyler…”His reply came out breathy and uneven. “Yes….”“I know you want me. Are you going to make me beg?”She could swear she felt him smile. “That’s not a problem, is it?”He turned abruptly, and before she knew it she was in his arms. Body to body, soul to soul. Then he was kissing her. And, oh, did he know how to kiss. He took control, possessed her. If he had wanted her to be the aggressor in this scenario, that moment had passed. And what gave him the right? What if she wanted to be the one calling the shots for a change?His hands wandered down her back, over her behind, his erection long and hard between them behind the slippery silk. He cupped her backside and squeezed so she bit his lip. Hard. He gasped and jerked and for a second she thought she’d gone too far.“Did I hurt you?”His lids were heavy, eyes glassy and unfocused as he gazed down at her

    Tyler stopped what he was doing and looked at her, his lids heavy. “Do you want me to stop?”She stared at him, breathing hard. “Yes or no?” he asked, his eyes dark and intense. And she had no doubt that if she told him no, he would stop. No questions asked.“Don’t stop.”A hungry smile curled his mouth and the hand on her thigh began to slide upward.At that point she knew there was no turning back. It was a done deal. She was going to sleep with Tyler. His breath was hot on her skin as he nibbled and kissed his way down her body. Touching, tasting. His fingers slipped inside the leg of her shorts, brushing against her panties… At that point things began to get fuzzy. One minute her shorts were on, the next they had mysteriously disappeared. The same thing happened to her panties. Then Tyler was touching her. Slow, steady pressure. Warm and slippery.She closed her eyes and gave herself permission to relax and enjoy. How could she have thought she didn’t need this? That she didn't

    Lily's expression hardened, her hair and red lipstick very dramatic paired with her red strapless dress. “Because it’s true. You’ve got Tyler and me and your family to help you. But you can’t shut Tyler out of the baby’s life. And if you do, he has every right to sic his lawyer on you. I’m sorry, but that’s the truth. The baby belongs to both of you. Where is the fairness in you keeping the baby from him?”Lily's statement hurt. But she knew she was right, “Keeping the baby from him wasn't the plan. The marriage proposal just came so suddenly. You know it's Tyler. You know what his family was like growing up and even now, he's never been a fan of marriage or getting married. The sudden change of heart on the matter scares me, that's it,”“Well, a baby is involved now, and if you ask me, that's a pretty good reason to have a change of mind,” Lily pulled Lexi close for a hug. “You will both be fine, okay? Go talk to him tonight,”_________Lexi flung open the bedroom door and peered ins

    “You said no? Why?” Lily demanded of Lexi when they were finally in the ladies’ room and Lexi told her everything from the fight in Olkfield, to the pregnancy and then Tyler's proposal, “Lexi? Why won’t you marry Tyler?” Lily demanded impatiently.Lexi forced herself to focus, wishing she was anywhere but there. “Because I don’t think it’s the answer.” She pinched the crease of her forearm in an effort to stop the itching. “And it was an accident,” she murmured, avoiding Lily's ever-watchful eyes. “I've learnt from my engagement to Victor, and also, two wrongs won’t make the situation better.”“But it will,” Lily argued. “You know it will.”Lexi shoved her hair off her face. “I need to find a way to tell my dad about the pregnancy.”“Your dad will get over it. Victor did. He can't be mad at you forever. Come on,” Lily ordered, grabbing Lexi's hand and tugging.Lexi reluctantly let Lily pull her toward a side exit and out into the late-afternoon sunshine, but only because doing so got

    “Hey, Lexi, you in there?” Lily called. Lexi pulled away from Tyler immediately, straightening her clothes as she did. It took a few seconds before she put herself together and found her voice. Tyler on the other hand took his sweet time, not looking one bit flustered. “Come in,” Lexi called. Lily's timing couldn’t have been more perfect.The doorknob jiggled and Lily called, “It’s locked.”Lexi shot Tyler a look. He had come in, then locked the door? Tyler only smirked at her in response. She left the balcony, followed by Tyler, crossed the room and let her friend in. “I can’t find Tyler and I was wondering—” Lily spotted Tyler standing by the bed. “Oh! There you are.”Curiosity leaped like wild flames in her eyes, but she played it cool. Lexi could just imagine what she must be thinking. Tyler didn’t even have the decency to look guilty or uncomfortable.“Yes, ma’am.” He said. “The tailor is here to do the final fitting on the tuxedos. They’re waiting for you in the master suit
