Which, when you think about it, just tells me he’s happy to sleep with multiple people at the same time.
Atlas isn’t a man I can like or fall for.
I can’t.
I shouldn’t have done that.
“He’s okay. Honestly, it was a drunken mistake. Like kissing your cousin.”
“Gross.” Payton laughs. “Not the same.”
I shrug and sip more water. “Almost. We are as close as sisters, so he’s family. Like an annoying brother.”
She frowns. “So you just kissed your brother.”
“Now you’re making it weird.” I laugh.
Climbing off the bed, I place the water back on the nightstand and stretch while Payton lies back down.
“I’m getting married tomorrow.” She smiles at the ceiling, then at me. “Our lives have changed so much in a few months. Can you believe it?”
I go around the bed and sit next to her.
“It really has.”
“I’m so proud of you for starting your business. You are going to rock it. I’d come and work for you if I wasn’t having this baby.”
I frown.
“Are you going to work or just be a billionaire’s wife?” I regret the words as they leave my mouth.
“Is that what you think?” She rolls on her side.
I shrug.
“I don’t know. How does this work? Does he just shove money at you every week?”
Ugh. I’d hate that.
“We have a prenup, but I’m nearly his wife and the mother of his child. Our lives are forever connected,” Payton says. “I can’t explain it. Babies change everything.”
What she’s trying toaccuratelysay is I don’t understand.
I don’t.
My engagement was fake, and I’ve never been pregnant. No man has truly been committed to me. I can’t imagine how it must feel.
“Knox is rich. He is who he is. There are pros and cons to this kind of wealth. If I want to go back to work at a certain point, he won’t stop me.” Payton adds.
“You could always start your own business.” I suggest.
“Maybe. I’ve never had the same leadership skills you have, though. Never say never though.”
I hate that I made her happy new life about money. That wasn’t what I meant. I just can’t imagine trusting a man to such a huge degree that he is the sole income earner.
Even if the amount is big or small.
I’d feel...vulnerable.
