Colt rests his arm between us and turns.
“I’m engaged,” I say, deciding to just lay it all out there.
Mason sprays his whisky across the bar and wipes his mouth along his forearm, while Colt lifts his glass to his lips and sips, all cool as a cucumber.
It’s an act.
But one he does well.
“Ah, so the sexy passenger/PA did actually get pregnant from sucking your cock.”Colt places his glass onto the polished bar.
Idiot.
I remain quiet, waiting for all the ribbing to take place.It’s better to get it over with.
“Oh god, is there video footage?Please tell me there is.”Mason keeps laughing so hard he has tears.
“Finished?”I ask.
“Not really.But I’m curious, so...explain,” Mason takes the napkin handed to him by the bartender and wipes his eyes.
“The sheikh pulled his funding, so Brandon came up with a plan for me to fake an engagement.”
I deserve all they throw at me.It’s the stupidest fucking idea ever.If it wasn’t for Emily, I doubt I would’ve gone along with this.Truth is, I was looking for an excuse to fuck her.
I’m not sorry at all.
If it kills two birds and all that, then Brandon might just get a fucking raise.
Mason shakes his head.“I’m sorry, how do those two things connect?Did I fall asleep and miss the middle?”
Right, he has a point.I did leave out a few things.
“He thinks I was groping his daughter in Dubai so—”
“Were you?”Colt asks.
“No.Why does everyone keep asking me that?”
The two men share a look.
Fuckers.
“No.I.Didn’t,” I reply, taking a long drink and letting out a loud sigh.“Shegrabbed my cock, and someone saw me remove her hand.Still, this is about pride for Khalid, being able to say it could never have happened because I’m a happy and in-love engaged man saves face for him.Shit works differently there.”
“Is it?”Mason lifts a brow.“Helping?”
I’m not sure.
“Hard to know.On Sunday night, Emily—”
“Wait.Emily?As in the girl from the flight, who is your PA and now your fake fiancée?”Colt stares, his brows high up his forehead.
Mason, the fucker, starts chuckling again.
“It sounds bad when you say it like that.”I slide my glass onto the bar and lift my finger to order another.
“Because it is bad.It’s a terrible fucking idea.”
