Sienna looks around the room and wanders over to the window. I watch as she stares out at the dark forest and the moonlit lake.
“It’s beautiful.”
“Yeah,” I say. “I love the location.”
“Because you’re a grumpy loner?”
I grunt. “Is that what they’ve been saying in town?”
She shrugs. “Yeah. And that you’re cold and aloof.”
“I probably am,” I agree.
Sienna studies me before turning her gaze to the bed. She unzips my jacket and lets it slide off her arms. I watch as she folds it and sets it on the dresser.
She opens a dresser drawer and spins to face me. “This is your room.”
“Yes. We need to share. We need to get used to being around each other and acting like a couple.”
I’m impressed with how quickly I came up with that excuse. The truth is that I can’t imagine spending a night away from her. I want her in my bed. I want to fall asleep with her in my arms and wake up to her face next to mine in the morning.
“What about my virginity?”
I bite back a groan, shocked by the sudden shift in topic. Is she trying to kill me? I can’t talk to her about her virginity while she’s standing in our bedroom in barely there lingerie.
“I’ll get your things,” I say roughly, turning to head downstairs and out to the garage.
Jesus, I’m so screwed.
I grab her things and go back upstairs. By the time I step into our bedroom, Sienna has changed into one of my shirts and is climbing into bed. I catch a glimpse of the white thong between her ass cheeks before she slips under the covers. I bite my cheek, focusing on the pain so I don’t come in my pants from that sight alone.
“Hope you don’t mind,” Sienna says when she sees me in the doorway.
“No. Help yourself.” My voice sounds like gravel.
She gives me a weird look as I set her backpack on the dresser.
I come up with a plan as I shower and change. We’ll go into town tomorrow for the marriage license, and we’ll practice being a couple. Maybe I’ll be so good at it that she’ll fall for me, too. By the time that my family leaves, she’ll have forgotten that this is supposed to be fake, and she’ll be mine.
With that plan in place, I crawl into bed next to Sienna. She’s already asleep, and I try not to wake her as I pull the covers over us.
She moans, rolling onto her side and throwing her leg over mine. I freeze. My hands want to reach for her. My cock leaks in my pajama pants, and I groan as she shifts against me.
Control yourself!I scream in my head.
Sienna rocks against me, letting out a breathy sigh, and I almost bust in my pants.
Fuck, this is going to be harder than I thought,I think as I lie next to her, willing my body to relax enough for me to get some rest.
FIVE
Sienna
I wakeup the next morning plastered against Heath, his big hand palming my ass as I lie half on and half off of him.
Oh, my gosh! Did I cuddle him all night?
I shift, trying to pull away from him gently so I don’t wake him up, but his hand tightens on my butt and he pulls me right back against him.
