the best way to go. “The only permission you need is from my brother. And he knows the truth about our situation so he already gave it to you.”
Cash stared at me but his lips didn’t move.
“I don’t owe my dad anything.”
He ran his fingers through my hair. “It’s just for show, Prudence. We’ll get in, get out, and then we’ll leave.”
“I don’t want them to know about my success,” I said immediately.
“Why?”
“Because they’ll treat me differently. My dad will want to get involved, and if he knows I’m making money he’ll expect me to pay him back for my tuition.”
He raised an eyebrow. “What? Are you joking?”
No. “My dad acts like a nice guy, but I don’t believe him. And I don’t want him to suddenly be proud of me because I finally made it. He never believed in me and always made me feel like shit for wanting to be a musician. He doesn’t deserve to know.”
Cash grabbed my hand and brought it to his lips. “Anything you want.”
“I’m so sorry you have to do this.”
“Don’t be,” he said immediately. “I’m excited to see where you came from. To know your roots.”
“It’s not very impressive…”
“I’ll still lo—care about you in the same way.”
Was he about to say something else? I didn’t catch it.
He hid his face and got out of bed. “I need to hurry. I’ll have all the arrangement s when I come back.”

I was so happy when Cash finally came home. I was so attached to him that I hated the hours apart when he was at work. After spending two months apart, I was eager to soak up every once of his being. There were too many nights when I wished I were with him, too many nights I cried because I missed him. Everything was just better when he was near.
As soon as he came home, I hustled to the doorway and jumped into his arms. He pulled me to his chest and held me close. Nothing was said. I’m was glad I didn’t have to explain myself to him. I was marrying him so I could cuddle with him all I wanted.
Cash kissed my forehead. “I like it when you greet me like that.”
“I missed you.”
“I missed you too. I’d invite you to come to work with me, but I’d just bend you over my desk and take you every half hour.”
“That doesn’t so bad.” I gave him a sinister smile.
“Don’t tempt me, baby.” He brushed my lips with his, teasing me.
“Did you make the arrangements?”
“I did. We leave tomorrow.”
Wow. That was quick. “Okay.”
“Let your brother know we’re coming.”
That was the only thing I was excited about. I loved spending time with my brother. And now that I was going to be stuck in America for an entire year, I really wanted to see him. “We’ll stay with him.”
“We can stay at a hotel,” Cash said automatically.
“But I want to stay with him.”
Cash put down his bag then grabbed my ass. “We’re having sex on this trip. I need it. It helps me relieve stress. And we shouldn’t do that in your brother’s house.”
My brother was a bit of an enigma when it came to sex. I wasn’t sure what he did in his personal life. I knew he was seeing a girl in college for a while but she disappeared. He hadn’t seen anyone sense. If I didn’t accidently see his porn on his laptop, I would have thought he was gay. But as I became older, I realized he was extremely private. Although, I had no idea why. But I respected his privacy. Since I was his sister, there was a possibility he didn’t feel comfortable breaching that subject. “My brother isn’t going to care.”
“I’m sure he will.”
I shook my head. “Jeremy respects my privacy and my sexuality. He doesn’t care if we have sex at his place. He knows we have sex now.”
“You aren’t listening to me,” he said firmly. “I know he doesn’t stick his nose in your sex life, but it’s disrespectful and rude to have sex with you in his house, especially since we aren’t married.”
Ugh. I had no idea Cash was such a
