Page 102 of Nothing to the Wedding
Remembered he forgot?
Licking her lips, she laughed.“You never feel threatened.Never.Not even a tiny bit.”
“Should I be threatened?”
She trailed a fingertip down his torso, snaking it left and right.“No, of course not.I actually…”
“Say it, Roxanna.”
“I like it.I love the power of our relationship.I love how I never look at another woman and think you might be tempted.It’s never occurred to me you might be.And I love the strength of your ego, Casanova.That you can see me with other guys and never think for a moment it means anything.”
“I have a healthy ego,” he said, stroking her arms as her fingers kept running across his flesh.“But the security of our relationship has nothing to do with ego.You love me, Roxanna, and I trust you.Hell, even that isn’t the right word because it suggests you’re resisting something.We just are and there’s no one else.”
“God, I want to marry you.”
He laughed.“Again?Already.You did say we had to rehearse for a potential naked wedding.”
“Everything you say sounds like wedding vows.”
Seizing her waist, he snatched her tight.“You never say that when I’m inside you.”
Shit.She shivered.Because the things he said should be reserved for a naked wedding… with zero guests and one big bed.
“Usually, I can’t form thoughts, let alone words, when you’re talking to me like that.Give a girl a chance.”
“Back to business?”he said with a semi-side nod, his head still in the pillow.“So you’re getting the other finalists back?”
“And some of the Experience winners.”
“None of whom will have their own security teams.”
“Thena and Mimi will guest star too.”
“That should be interesting.”
Thena and Mimi were Knox Collier’s mother and grandmother, respectively.Hollywood heavyweights.And that might tempt Jane to poke her head around the camera once or twice.
“We have a sort of transition from the documentary to the show.There will be interview segments.We’ll have Queens and Delights and Crimsettes.It will feature a lot of women supporting women, maybe like an agony aunt thing where we solve problems and help people regain their strength.”
“Other than being perfect for you, that’s a worthy cause.”
“We may slip in Lola’s Liberty and Huddle Hope where we can too.Alice and I were talking about Tripp representing Lighting Darkness.”
“What does Tripp say to that?”
Her whole body shrug cast off the question.“I don’t think anyone’s told him yet.”
Though it would be no surprise if he’d somehow divined it.
“Be careful putting Tripp Breckenridge in front of a camera, Lola.”
“You think he’ll outshine me?”
“No, but the guy already knows everyone.His fame is sort of underground right now.You amp that up, he won’t be able to do what he does the way he does it anymore.”
And she hadn’t considered that.“Huh…” she pondered.
“You’ll be in the club?”
