I managed to hold my laugh in until we were walking out of the spa together, our own toe separators slapping the floor. “You really just said that.”
“Yeah, it felt like something a parent would say to their kid. Felt right, honestly.” She grunted. “Little asshole. I can’t believe she said that.”
“Her mother is a piece of work, from what Macy says. I’ve only met her a time or two and I get the same vibe.”
“Fuck them both then.” Casual, like she hadn’t just said that about a kid, Karly shrugged and pointed to the bar. “I’m going to grab something before retreating to my kingdom for the night. I happen to know that a certain groomsman is stopping by later and I want to be ready.”
I waved goodbye to her, happy to know that I wasn’t the only person hooking up at the wedding. I did wonder who she was sleeping with, but it wasn’t my business. I was more focused on finding Milo and murdering him.
I’d walked all over the resort and still hadn’t seen him, so I went to my room and got changed into real clothes before finding my phone and calling him. I was on a mission. I wanted to handle it once and for all. I didn’t want him showing up again.
“Sara? Hi, baby. I was hoping you’d call after you got the flowers I sent to your room.”
I looked around the room and didn’t see any flowers. That didn’t matter, though. “We need to talk, Milo.”
“I agree.”
“Where are you? I’ll come there.” I was already grabbing my purse and heading towards the door.
“I’m just downstairs in the bar.” He lowered his voice. “Or I could just come up to your room.”
I threw my purse on the bed and stomped out of my room. I hung up on Milo and shoved my phone into my pocket. I basically charged into the lobby a minute later, steam pumping out of my ears like a cartoon. I was so mad that I almost didn’t even see Lucas until I was on top of him.
He caught me in his arms and smiled. “Whoa, there. Where are you off to, Cupcake?”
I blinked, trying to clear the scowl from my face. I didn’t want to put my negativity on him. He’d done enough the night before to put a smile on my face. “Just heading to the bar.”
He stroked my cheek and studied my face. “You’re upset.”
I groaned. “Milo didn’t leave. I’m going to meet him and end this.”
Lucas’s face hardened. “I’ll help.”
I put my hand on his chest and shook my head. “You know you can’t.”
“I can. And then I can toss his scrawny ass out in the snow and lock the fucking door behind him.”
“As much as I’d love that, I have to do it alone.” I realized I was still touching his chest and sighed, letting my hand drop. “It shouldn’t take long. What are you doing this afternoon?”
“Watching over you to make sure that asshole doesn’t try anything. After that, I’ll be walking you to my suite and ordering more room service.” He winked. “The benefit of my work being contained to an actual building is that I don’t have to take it with me on vacation. And that’s just one of the reasons I should be your favorite brother.”
I laughed and then slapped his arm. “Don’t make me happy. I’ve got to stay mad to do this right.”
“I wish you’d let me help. I think I could be really useful in making the point to him that you’re no longer interested. Especially if he needed an example of why you’ve moved on.”
I rolled my eyes and sighed. “Okay. Don’t stick around for this. If I feel like you’re watching, I’m going to be self-conscious.”
“No promises.”
“I want chocolate-covered strawberries with the room service. And the biggest slice of chocolate cake.” I ran my hand over his flat stomach as I walked past and shivered. “And a bowl of ice cream. Actually, a hot fudge sundae. With nuts and whipped cream.”
Lucas caught my hand and leaned down to press a kiss to my head. “Plenty of nuts and cream to go around.”
Laughing, I faked a gag and backed away. “That was gross.”
“You like it.”
I grinned and forced myself to turn away from him. I walked into the bar and found Milo sitting close by the door. His eyes were narrowed and he scowled when I got closer.
