He shook his head, angry. "I can't believe you did that, Ro."

"Believe it."

"Did she pull the whole ‘I'm so innocent’ routine with you? ‘I've not done this before’, shit?"

I narrowed my eyes.

He laughed harshly. "Yeah. That's her thing. Was her pussy tight as hell?"

"Shut up, Ace. You don't want her, anyway."

"Especially now that you've fucked her."

"Especially now," I agreed. Wasn't this what I'd planned to do all along? Make her less appealing to my brother? Then why was I feeling like crap?

"All that ‘touch-me-not, I'm inexperienced’ nonsense she spewed…it's bullshit," Ace cursed. "She's fuckin' unbelievable. But then, you son a bitch, so are you."

"Are you done?" I rubbed a hand over my chest and yawned. "Cause I need a shower before I leave for Billings. I smell like pussy." Okay, so the last part was unnecessary, but he was getting on my last nerve.

Ace snorted.

"Caitlyn and her parents are coming for breakfast," he told me. "Get that slut out of the house before they get here."

He marched out, and I stood still, trying to process what had happened. I'd heard Isha crying last night, and I hadn't been able to stand it. I'd gone in to comfort her, and I knew it would be more than that. We had enough chemistry to set the great state of Montana on fire.

But, God, she'd been sweet. So fucking innocent. I'd loved how she touched me, tasted me, sucked me off. It had been off the charts. I had never had a better sexual experience than what we shared last night.

Was it all an act? Was she just pretending to be inexperienced? Was that her kink?

If it was…I was the biggest sucker in the country, wasn't I?

I took a quick shower, and went into the dining room, where Caitlyn, Deb, and the Masons were already seated. Ace was still furious.

"Rowan, I expected better," Deb said, but I knew she was pleased. This was, after all, our plan. I'd seduce Isha, and Ace would dump her.

I heard a sound behind me. Isha stood with her head held high in a blue and white shirt dress, her rolling suitcase next to her, with a crossbody bag across her chest. Her eyes were red-rimmed. She'd had another panic attack. I could tell.

Ace rose. But before I could come between him and Isha, he went to Caitlyn and dropped to his knees.

"Baby, I'm so sorry. Can you forgive me?"

Caitlyn smiled and touched his hair. "Yes, I can."

"I love you. Will you marry me?" He pulled a ring out of his pocket.

I turned to look at Isha, who stood frozen. Just as I saw Ace slide the ring on Caitlyn's finger, I saw him wink at Isha, a leery smile on his face. He hugged Caitlyn, and she squealed.

I nodded to my mother, who smiled at me. "Get the trash out of the house, Rowan."

Isha didn't deserve that. No one got to say shit like that to her.

No one but me.

"Cut it out, Deb. Congratulations, Caitlyn and Ace. Jack, Candy."

I walked out, and grabbed Isha's arm, picking up her suitcase in my other hand. I marched her out of the house. She kept pace, not resisting.

I opened the passenger door of my SUV, and hauled her in. She didn't say a word. She was stiff as a board.
