“What if I don’t want the plan to change?” I snipe, annoyed that this may take a lot longer than anticipated.
Declan sets his phone on the table, his amused gaze clashing with my annoyed one. “You can attempt to have your way, but let me assure you that it won’t matter one iota now that these ladies are coming to Vegas for a wedding.”
“It’s not that kind of wedding,” I argue, earning a light chuckle from Declan who responds, “It’s always that kind of wedding, Ren. You’ll see.”
I can see from the expression on his face he’s not joking, so I do the only thing I can under the circumstances.
I sit back and shut my fucking mouth.

DESPERATE TIMES
CASSIDY
There’sno restroom when we land.
We went from the plane directly to the back of a limo, and to say I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable in my squishy underpants would be an understatement.
Ren, being the gentlemanly bastard that he is, snagged the towel I was sitting on and placed it on the seat for me to sit on. It was only the smug look on his face that stopped me from thanking him.
The drive to the hotel isn’t overly long, but between Ren sitting ridiculously close to me and the abrupt way in which he denied my orgasm, my discomfort goes well beyond the superficial.
I’m fucking horny.
I’m so turned on that if I were alone in the back of this limo, I would be hard-pressed not to put up the privacy screen and fuck myself silly. Alas, here I am, Ren to my left and Declan seated directly across from me, his knowing smirk keeping the blush in my cheeks.
By the time we get to the hotel, I’m starting to sweat. Ren helps me out of the limo, keeping hold of my hand as he leads me into the hotel lobby where a man in a suit greets us. There’s no pause for niceties; the man walks to a group of elevators, one with the door open.
Declan waves us ahead and we enter the elevator, turning to face the closing doors. I attempt to shake my hand free, but Ren squeezes tighter,
Glancing around the opulent expanse I ask, “Are we all staying here?”
Ren nod. “Yes. Unless you’re not okay with it.”
“Can I get my own room?”
“Not a chance,” he retorts, “But you can chooseourroom.”
Laughing, I head toward the hallway, and what I assume are the bedrooms. Ren follows along behind me, keeping a bit of distance between us as I check out the various bedrooms. Doubling back down the hallway, I stop at the first bedroom, waiting for Ren to enter before saying, “This is perfect.”
“I know what you’re doing here, but it ain’t gonna work.”
I turn my innocent expression to him. “Whatever do you mean?”
“All you’re gonna get from the two beds is me fucking you on both of them.”
My insides clench again, and I barely manage to stifle the grunt of white-hot arousal that attempts to sneak out of my mouth. He’s watching me closely, so I know I need to get him out right now before he catches on to my problem.
I fake cough then shoo him with my free hand. “Well, you can go while I freshen up.”
“I’ll wait,” he answers shortly. “We may as well go scope out a good spot before Declan’s entourage show up and make this a big spectacle.”
Groaning, I look up at the ceiling, muttering under my breath. “For the love of fuck.”
“What?”
Slowly, I lower my eyes to meet his, doing my best to keep my wits about me even though I want to throttle him. His expression is confused and his eyebrows raise slightly as he waits for me to respond.
