(One Night novellas, #5)
Publication date: January 2015
Genres: Adult, Contemporary,
Ever since her former roommates deserted her, Meg has had to share an apartment with a lazy, obnoxious ass. He won’t pick up after himself, and he refuses to get a good job. Plus, he doesn’t always wear enough clothes—which is really a problem, because he’s hot.
Maybe he’s occasionally funny. And every now and then he can be sweet. But mostly he’s just annoying. It doesn’t matter how much he’s starting to flirt with her—Meg is going to resist. She’s way too smart to fall for a guy who never takes anything seriously.
But then everything changes in only one night...
She started to dig into her purse for her keys, but she looked up to check out his
expression. He looked uncharacteristically quiet. And his tone was uncharacteristically gentle as
he asked, “You okay?”
“Of course,” she replied, trying to sound natural and peppy. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
“I don’t know. You tell me.”
“I’ve got nothing to tell you,” she said with a frown, feeling a familiar impatience return,
since he was acting like he knew something of what she was feeling. “I’m happy for them. It’s
great news.”
“Of course, it is. But that doesn’t mean happy is all you feel at hearing the news.”
She frowned, but her heart was starting to beat quickly, as if something important was
about to happen. “Why would I be anything but happy for them?”
He stepped into her in a way that pressed her back against the door to her car. He braced
a hand on the car beside her shoulder so he was kind of trapping her in place. But his expression
wasn’t sexy or flirtatious. It was knowing and intimate somehow. “Maybe you’re kind of
disappointed it’s not you.”
She gasped. “I’ve never had the slightest interest in Jake. Not the slightest!”
“I know that,” he murmured with a smile, his eyes almost caressing her face. “I meant
maybe you’re disappointed that the engagement, the wedding, the marriage, the whole rosy
fairytale isn’t happening to you.”
“Well, I’m not. I’m perfectly happy not being married.” It was the truth, so she could say
it with wide eyes and no dissemblance.
His expression shifted, got a little warmer in a way she was very familiar with. “So you
don’t secretly have daydreams about settling down in domestic bliss with me?”
Her pulse was throbbing wildly from his closeness and from the continued intimacy of
his gaze, but she couldn’t keep a giggle from bubbling up. “You’re the last guy I’d daydream
about domestic bliss with.”
“Ah, it must be other kinds of bliss I’m giving you in your daydreams.”
She flushed hot as his eyes were suddenly all about sex. All. About. Sex.
It took a minute for her recover, but her voice was mostly even when she said, “You
don’t star in any of my daydreams. That’s your overinflated ego talking.” She clutched at the
strap of her purse with both hands, since she desperately wanted to touch East’s chest.
It was only a couple of inches away.
