hope might not come true.
“Please, just go along. I promise, I’ll explain everything soon,” she whispered, noting her father’s footsteps coming closer. “It’s for my dad.”
Aiden’s eyes flicked over her shoulder, then met hers again. He’d only looked away for a millisecond, but she knew from his frown that in that brief glance he’d seen enough to worry him. Good. A worried Aiden was a quiet Aiden. And she needed him to be quiet until she convinced him to go along with her plan.
A plan that’d been so simple when she blurted out that she was in a serious relationship to get Nina and her matchmaking off her back.
One that’d stayed pretty easy when her father, hearing the news, had jumped all over like it was the answer to all of his prayers. After all, how difficult should it be to pretend she and Aiden were engaged? People always expected crazy from her. And Aiden wasn’t going to be around.
The ease of her plan had frayed at little at the edges over the last week. The million questions and suggestions about the upcoming fantasy wedding were bad enough. But between trying to process her father’s illness and dire prognosis, balanced by his excitement over the news about her and Aiden, she’d been wondering if she’d made a mistake.
And now?
Her plan was looking about as smart as the rocks beneath her feet.
As great as it’d be to hand it all over to Aiden to take care of, Sage knew this scenario had all the makings of a disaster.
Not because it was a crazy idea.
Or that Aiden wouldn’t go along.
She sighed, looking at his hard, deliciously muscled body. A body that she was still tingling over plastering herself to. Not listening to a word they said, she watched Aiden greet her father, his soft lips tempting her with every move.
Nope.
It wasn’t that the plan was bad, she realized.
It was that she wasn’t sure she could resist taking advantage of every single sexual possibility it presented.
