One Good Crash
Page 30
Almost in a dream, we walked hand-in-hand, heading toward the apartment. Allie had just left for a week-long trip out of town, which meant that Jax and I could celebrate in style, and I didn't mean with a fancy dinner or public display.
As we walked, we swapped secrets back and forth. He admitted everything that I'd suspected him of doing. And me? Well, I admitted that I loved all of it, even if I felt a little funny sometimes.
We practically burst through the apartment door, working at our buttons as we moved. I'd missed him so very much, and we had some serious making up to do.
Funny though, we never got the chance, at least not in my apartment, because we'd barely reached the sofa when a thump sounded from the rear of the apartment.
I froze. And so did Jax.
Unless I was mistaken, the sound had come from Allie's bedroom. I stifled a giggle. "Oh, crap."
Jax flashed me a grin and murmured, "No kidding."
I whispered, "But her flight left at six." Or at least, I'd thought it was leaving at six. Maybe it was delayed?
I glanced at the side table near the door. Sure enough, her purse was right there where she usually dropped it.
Still, I refused to see this as a totally bad thing.
I wanted Jax so bad I could taste it, but the thought of telling Allie was impossible to resist. I whispered, "Would you mind waiting just a second? I'd really like to tell her."
He smiled. "Hey, you're worth the wait. I'll tell ya what. Remember that suite at The Plaza?"
I gave a happy nod.
He reached for my hand. "Let's go back."
I couldn’t help but snicker. "Only if there's lobster, and plenty of it."
He grinned. "Well, aren't you getting spoiled."
"I hope not."
"Yeah? Well, I hope so. In fact, you just wait. I'm gonna guarantee it."
It was a wonderful thing to say, but the way I saw it, I was already spoiled, and I told him so with a long, lingering kiss.
And then, laughing, I bounded away, heading toward Allie's room. After only a single knock, I barged in, only to stop in stunned disbelief.
She wasn't alone. She wasn't even clothed. And neither was the guy with her. And just who was that guy?
My future brother-in-law.
Jaden Bishop.
What the hell?

Zane Bennington, he was the guy who'd been making my life miserable for weeks. He was a prick. A jerk. A stone-cold ruthless bastard with no redeeming qualities whatsoever – well, except for his face. And his body. And yeah, maybe his massive fortune. But other than that, the guy had zero going for him. The only upside? He hated me as much as I hated him. Or so I thought…
