The urge to giggle had everything to
do with nerves and nothing to do with how he looked. No, nothing about his
physique was giggle-worthy. If Neve could have crafted the perfect male
specimen, he would have looked exactly like Reece. A sculpted torso that
started at wide shoulders and tapered to a trim waist, like a V, above a perfectly square butt.
Smooth, tan skin.
His back was to her, so she couldn’t
assess the man package, but judging by the way it had felt against her in bed,
he wasn’t lacking in that department either.
He came to a stop and glanced over his
shoulder. “You’re staring.”
She swallowed a yelp.
A slow grin spread over his face—at
least the side she could see in profile. “You know what they say. You see mine,
I see yours.”
“That’s so childish!” she spluttered.
“Besides, you’ve already seen it, and so have I.”
“We were five years old, Neve. I think
things have changed since then.”
Details.
She brushed at something tickling her
shoulder and looked up. “They have robes in here. His and hers, judging by the
sizes.”
“Good because I can’t find a single
stitch. Throw one out, would you?”
Hoisting herself to her feet, she slid
the smaller robe from its hanger and quickly pulled it on before handing him
the other one through the closet door.
“Thanks.” Fabric rustled. “As much fun
as it is talking to you through a closet door, I think it’d be much easier if
you came out.”
“Are you decent?”
“Always.”
She opened the door and stepped
out—and tried not to laugh, especially given the seriousness of their dilemma.
The robe hit him at the knees, and the sleeves were halfway up his forearms.
“We need to figure this out,” they
both said at the same time.
“Maybe there are some clues in here.”
Reece loped toward their adjoining doors, which stood wide open, but before she
could follow, he let out a strangled sort of noise from his bedroom.
“What is it?” She hurried through the
doorway.
“Found our clothes.”
His bed looked as though a herd of
elephants had tap-danced on it. Scattered around said bed were various bits of
his and her wedding outfits. Her panties lay in a crumpled heap beside his
boxers, and her matching strapless bra hung over a chair that sat cockeyed to
the desk. On the nightstand stood two empty champagne bottles, along with a
half-dozen martini glasses, also empty.
She gasped and tried not to hurl.
He held up his hands. “Don’t panic.” Traipsing
over to the desk, he switched on the lamp and picked up a piece of paper. A
groan punched from his lungs.
“What? What is it?”
He locked gazes with her. “You can
panic now.”
A mere beat passed, and she was by his
side, gawking at what he held in his hands. Her already-unsettled stomach
plummeted to her toes. “That’s … that’s …”
“A marriage license. Yeah.”
“It’s got to be a joke. Are those our
real names?”
“Looks like.”
He plucked up what looked like a
receipt and whipped his head toward her. His eyes dipped to her hand. “Holy
Mother of …”
She followed his gaze, and her mouth
swung open.
He pointed at her hand. “That is not fake.”
On her left ring finger was a big-ass
diamond and a matching band.
Now she darted her eyes to his left
hand. “Uh, you seem to be wearing what looks like the man version of mine.
These must be fake! Right?”
“Don’t think so.” He held up the
receipt.
She covered her mouth to hold back a
choked cry. “Is that a six? With four zeros after it?”
“No, that’s an eight.” He rubbed his forehead with his free hand. “Damn! I bought
these!”
She inspected the ring, which was
almost too big for her small finger. “It is
beautiful.”
“I have great taste. Did you have a
say in it, or did I just … buy it?”
She blinked. “You’re asking me?”
“You were there, weren’t you?”
“Yeah, I was there, but I was as drunk
as you, and everything’s a black hole.”
Dear God, what had they done?
