Act like everything is okay?
The bedroom door opens and Cutter appears, wearing jeans.
I’m suddenly very underdressed.
I keep the covers tight against my body.
“Everything okay, Cutter?”
“Just… baseball stuff.”
I’m not sure I believe him.
I swallow hard. “Are you married or something?”
“What?”
“You heard me. Tell me right now.”
Cutter walks across the bedroom toward me. He flings his phone to the floor to the boxers I slid down his body not that long ago.
He leans over me. “Piper, I’m not married. I’ve never been married either.”
“I shouldn’t have asked that.”
“Yes, you should have. You’re stubborn, sexy, and you’re trying to find a way out of this situation. Without making yourself seem wrong. Which you are not wrong for being here. And if you wanted to leave right now, that wouldn’t be wrong either.”
“So this is really the way you are?” I ask. “The way you talk and act…”
“Can I show you something, sweetie?”
“I think you’ve shown me plenty so far tonight.”
Yes, look at this… Piper Maple is flirting!
Go, girl! Go!
“Just keep the sheet, huh? We’re secluded and private.”
“I’ll be the judge of that,” I say.
Cutter reaches down and grabs my clothes off the floor.
My shirt. My pants. My bra.
But he leaves my panties on the floor.
“You bastard,” I say. “You better give them back to me.”
“Come get them,” he says and starts to back up.
I hurry from the bed, taking the sheet with me, covering my body.
“Cutter, this isn’t funny at all.”
“I’m not trying to be funny.”
“Stealing my clothes? You think that’s okay to do?”
