Fucking anti-nausea meds!
They were totally to blame.
Especially as I still really wanted to sit on his knee.
“So, you’re friends with my great-uncle, but only friends and notattempting to be his last-rites wife, actually got him to talk, and now you think he knows about us being here simultaneously. Enough that you also think I upgraded your flight? Does that sum it up?”
“Yes,” I whined.
God, where was my cool?
I could tell you where—no-damn-where.
Because the heat this man emitted necessitated a portable air-conditioning unit blowing up my skirt.
Wasit the Dramamine? It had to be. I’d never experienced this particular side effect before but?—
“Interesting.” His gaze flickered away. Exactly what I didn’t need. “To answer your questions, no, he doesn’t know I’m here, I didn’t personally upgrade your flights, and I think your friends are trying to get your attention.”
Even as my brain stumbled over that word “personally,” I peeped over my shoulder, where I found my sisters gaping at me.
Neev even gave me a goddamn thumbs-up.
Shooting the pair of them ocular pleas, I faced him when Neev’s thumbs-up morphed into a shooing motion. Then, I felt like hissing when I saw him looking at his phone.
Not my legs.
Dammit.
This couldn’t be one-sided.
I was hot too.
Great, I was whining in my head now.
“Um…”
“Se?”
“If it wasn’t you who upgraded my flights but Currau, then I didn’t know and I meant what I said about having no designs on his wallet.” His nephew, though, sure. Or at least, when I was high on motion sickness meds.
He smirked.
And oh, boy. There went my panties.
Wait—had I said that out loud too?!
If he’d looked like this in the hospital, then I’d have probably flirted with him. What had happened between then and now aside from him clearly overdosing on protein becausebow chicka wow wow?—
“Good to know.”
That was a dismissal if ever I’d heard one.
I stared at him.
He frowned at me.
