Bad Wedding (Billionaire's Club Book 9) Page 17


  Like never.

  She rounded her desk, forced a smile. “Mr. Conner,” she said when he didn’t move. “I’ll have my assistant schedule something soon.”

  “Seraphina.”

  She shivered at the sound of her name on his lips—soft, a little raspy, and deep enough to conjure all sorts of unhelpful fantasies in her mind.

  Shaking herself, she moved to open the door.

  Suddenly, Tate was there, hand on hers, body inches away, spicy scent inundating her senses.

  Sera’s breath caught. “What are you—?”

  He seemed to be arguing with himself then finally, those piercing blue eyes locked onto hers. “I need you to marry me.”

  Trix

  Regardless, she was back in California for the time being, ready to begin a new chapter in her life.

  Apparently, that meant starting by dating.

  At least, that was Heather’s logic.

  Or maybe Trix’s own brand of stupid.

  Still, whatever it was that had convinced her to come, she was there now and was going to make the best of it.

  Or at least that had been her thought until she recognized who was approaching the table.

  Him.

  Trix slammed her eyes closed and counted to five.

  It could not be him.

  Could not—

  She opened her eyes.

  Clay was on his feet, shaking the man’s hand, shaking Jet’s hand, and making introductions all around. Heather looked thrilled, probably because Jet was gorgeous and funny and smart—

  “And this is Heather’s sister, Trix. She’s a nurse.”

  Jet knew that.

  Because he knew her. Intimately.

  The doctor and the nurse. So cliché. So stupid on her part to think that things in her life might have turned out differently.

  He’d been smiling as he turned to meet her, and it was almost comical to see his expression darken to fury. Or it would have, if that fury hadn’t been directed at her. By then his hand was already in hers, mid-shake and fuck if his touch didn’t still make sparks shoot down her arm.

  She went to pull back, but he held fast then jerked her forward, as though he were giving her a hug in greeting.

  No one at the table could see that he was hissing in her ear.

  “What the fuck are you playing at, Trixie?”
