I pulled it froiven me when I was on board I smiled when I saw the birthday, "Twenty-nine, really?"

He shrugged, "You can pull it off easy"

I tried to resist the char smile and conored irl, "Hello there How are you?" He was doing his over-the-top, friendly-Canadian thing He even sounded like he was froirl ate it up She didn’t even knoas in the roo décor and wondered if I was there or if it was a dreaot our keys and a box that had been waiting for him and walked to the elevators "Luce and Jack should be in their hotel any et to the roohis lips againsthis hot breath ontoso scared, Evie" His words were such a whisper, I think I felt the him When the doors opened, he took my hand in his and pulled me down the hall Our room was beautiful, not Servario beautiful but far more than I would have stayed in with James Of course, I never would have co ry bitch I secretly was, until it was perfect I needed to keep that bottled up and only released at the exact right ht to the hen ere inside He was back-to-business Coop He loved toying withthe side of it Pretending it was because he wanted our cover intact But I knew… I knew… He was using his little ga hot and cold to keepforto adhed, "Little bastard"

Although, having seen hiree with hi little about the boy

I mentally slapped otten us both into enough trouble

The pasthonest, the last decade had been all her fault

Slut…

"They’re in place" He held the binoculars out forthem from him He stayed close to lanced through the binoculars, seeing Jack and Luce looking around their room, which wasso, but I couldn’t read his lips froe steps, took her face in his hands and said so She blushed and he bent his face down on hers My jaw dropped as an a left my lips Coop tried to take the binoculars from me, but I shoved him back, "No That was the sweetest kiss I have ever seen"

"I knew it!" he sounded less than iave hiave me a cruel look, "Hardly I alorry when one member of the team falls for the other It never ends well They should be able to joke around, like me and you We can be around each and not fall in love"

I flinched as Servario’s words of how I should never love hih my mind Neither man wanted to love me, they both just wanted to screw around I hated that I had never been able to be that girl as able to just have sex and move on with it Oh well, at least Luce was lucky in love

I cleared ive theave ain He was a s off But I couldn’t do it I couldn’t pretend that I wasn’t falling for hilike an ahole I shookin love?"

His eyes hardened, "Gets you killed, Evie If I loved you, I would always save you I would die saving you I would do anything possible to keep you alive See the the me alive, not you"

I felt sick, instantly I wrinkled my noise at him, "I would rather be like Jack and Luce a thousand times, than be like you for a second I could never live with the fact I let someone die I also couldn’t live without love"

He scoffed, "Clearly Look at your track record Fall for guys at basic Fall for guys on uys who say hello to you too nicely You would let me have you in a heartbeat, if ere in different circuuys too easily and it’s a weakness You need to learn to detach your libido fro and venomous

I shook my head, "Fuck you, Coop"

He nodded his head, "That’s all it would ever be for o That’s why I’ood at this, as you so eloquently pointed out once" He walked pasthiency of his kiss le man that had ever needed to kiss me that way He was desperate to hold her face, I had seen it in his tre hands They had maintained their act of indifference for hours, and only when they were alone, would they be true to themselves Coop was the opposite He eet, funny, and sexy in front of other people, but the moment ere really alone and in a situation where no one would ever know, he was a fker

I sighed and told myself it was for the best He was jailbait

He came out of the bedroom with the box, "Put this on I had it all shipped here yesterday"

He left it on the couch and walked back into the bedroo the door behind him I opened the lid to the box, stunned to find a sexy black dress and a pair of killer shoes Underneath that there was a water bra I sneered at it
