Piper laughed loudly. “You’re so bad!”
Both ladies giggled, then Piper went quiet and Audrey looked down at her, confused. Piper was staring off to the side where her twin sister stood with one of the most gorgeous guys in the room. Reese stood tall in silver heels that matched her short, sparkly silver dress. It was open in the back and hung off her shoulder, showing off the amazing tree tattoo that took up her whole back and shoulders. Piper had one to match; it was their twin thing. Reese’s hair was braided down her back and her makeup was dramatic and gorgeous. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome stood only inches away, obviously spitting some mad game at Reese. She was shaking her head, laughing, but Tall-Dark-and-Handsome wasn’t giving up. He obviously had his sight set on Ms. Reese Allen.
“What’s wrong?” Audrey asked.
“Nothing,” Piper said, looking away. Audrey looked down at her until Piper looked up, and then saw the hurt in her eyes.
“Who is that?” she asked Piper.
“Erik Titov, Jakob’s brother.”
“Oh, do you not like him?” Audrey asked. She hadn’t met Erik yet, but she’d heard of him. He was apparently a great guy, quiet but nice.
Piper shook her head sadly. “More like totally in love with him. But he wants nothing to do with me. He wants Reese.”
Audrey’s heart broke. She knew what it was like to lust after a guy who wanted her sister. She had lived it growing up. Thankfully, she didn’t have that problem anymore. She took Piper’s hand in hers and squeezed.
“He doesn’t deserve you.”
Piper gave her a watery smile before nodding. “Excuse me.”
Audrey let her leave, and when a waiter passed with a tray full of champagne, she took one. She didn’t know what was up with Piper and Erik but planned to find out. She would give Piper some time before she forced it out of her. She would need cupcakes and maybe some vodka. Piper was a lush when it came to vodka.
“Well, hey there, beautiful.”
Audrey looked over and almost did a double take, seeing the guy she had left alone in her hotel room not more than a week ago. She took a quick breath as her eyes met his. How the hell did he find her? Even in her state of shock, she couldn’t help but notice he looked positively scrumptious with his big blue eyes and blond hair. That was probably the reason she slept with him. He was beautiful.
“Hey …”
Yup, his name wasn’t clicking at all. Eek, she was such a slut! Wait, she remembered now. She hadn’t wanted to know his name. And why did he look younger than he did the other night? He looked like he was sixteen! Oh, goodness! What had she done? She was a child molester! She was going to go to jail for sleeping with a minor!
Oh, good Lord!
Her one-night stand laughed as he looked around. “Should my feelings be hurt that you don’t know my name?”
Oooh, he had an accent. She recalled that now. Man, accents were sexy, but not coming from an infant! She needed to get rid of him, and fast.
She smiled and looked around for something to pull her from this conversation. “Not at all. I was very drunk that night. I doubt you even remember my name.”
“Audrey Jane Parker.”
Audrey whipped her eyes back to him, shock all over her face. “How’d you know that?”
The guy smiled, and her pulse kicked up in speed.
He had a gap in his teeth.
She loved gaps!
Another reason she probably went home with him. Man, she was such a little hussy.
“I Googled ‘Most Beautiful Girl Ever’ and your name came up.”
Audrey broke out in a big grin as her face flushed. “Smooth.”
“I thought so. No, I play with Lucas.”
“Lucas? Lucas Brooks? My new brother-in-law?”
The guy nodded, and Audrey decided this was getting worse by the moment. Not only was he an infant, but he also played hockey with Lucas. Not good. She pinched the bridge of her nose and gasped out, “Does he know?”
“That we slept together?”
“Yeah?” Audrey asked.
