EXCERPT
Weariness settles in my bones and I sigh. I’m just so tired of pretending. It’s not too much to ask. I wanted to go somewhere to escape the reputation of our last name for a while. Where nobody knows me. But now, I’m trapped on a plane with my brother’s best friend and he won’t even speak to me.
I don’t know what it is about Colton that grates on my nerves. Maybe it’s the fact I can never get a reaction from him. At this point, I just want to see him falter.
“I’m horny.” My voice is a purr as I sprawl out on the couch. “Let’s join the Mile High Club.”
Colton’s blue eyes clash into mine. Static crackles between us as he watches me. He’s completely still. I’m not sure if he’s even breathing.
Laughter bursts free from my successful strategy. “Oh, that’s what it takes? You’re totally busted, Cowboy.”
The heat in his smolder fizzles into a glare. “Brat.”
I recoil. “Excuse you?”
Colton’s nostrils flare from a heavy exhale. “You’re a spoiled brat, Princess.”
Fire smacks my cheeks. “And you’re a rude asshole.”
He shrugs. “Just doin’ my job.”
My jaw drops. This is the most he’s talked to me in the five years I’ve known him. I’m not sure where to go from here.
“You could be a bit more understanding,” I mutter.
“That’s not what I’m getting paid for.”
“Ohhhhh,” I breathe. “This is all about money. Got it.”
His jaw clenches. “No, this is about keeping you safe.”
“I don’t need you to protect me.”
“That’s not your decision.” His smug expression sends a hot spike of irritation through me.
My eyes abandon his unwavering focus for the sake of my pride. “It’s probably best if we don’t talk anymore.”
Colton braces his inked arms along the back of the sofa. “I give it two minutes. Max.”
I clamp my lips tight to prove him wrong, but the tickle in my throat is prepared to do the opposite.
This is going to be a long-ass trip.
