sweetest smile. She might have managed to look innocent except that it was obvious she wasn’t wearing a bra and she’d put on the skirt she’d felt too self-conscious to wear to the club.
    His eyes moved down her body then back up in one long, slow, appreciative motion. “You are certainly welcome any time. Now get in here before someone thinks I’ve taken to calling hookers.”
    “Hooker!” she squeaked as he pulled her into the room. She swatted him with her purse. “Hooker? How dare you call me…”
    The kiss silenced her and then it turned her knees to jelly. When he released her she wobbled and grabbed the table for support. She gave him a dazed, happy, look and smiled. “I’m still angry.”
    “I’ll take my chances. You don’t look anything like a hooker, by the way. I thought you’d be helping your brother at the track today.”
    “Change of plans,” she said, not wanting to mention the glasses and risk ruining a perfectly delightful afternoon. Let Brant and Seth be suspicious and let Rueben do the digging. I’m going to enjoy myself for once, consequences be damned.
    “Well then, I guess I’m the lucky one.” He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her again. Somehow they made their way to the bed and Chloe quickly forgot about brothers and race cars and sabotage.
    Their first time was quick and then they snuggled in together to catch up on their sleep. When they woke he dragged her off to the shower to rinse off. Washing turned to foreplay and he chased her out of the bathroom without letting her towel off. She was still amazed he managed to get the water turned off.
    They rolled about, exploring each other’s bodies and enjoying light-hearted, mutually satisfying sex until Chloe caught sight of the clock and swore. They had finished, again, and were taking turns nibbling ticklish spots. Chloe slipped from the bed and went on the prowl for her clothing.
    “Good luck with that,” Trey said. “There wasn’t much of it and the bed sheets have ended up on the floor as well.”
    “You could help!”
    He sighed. “Fine. Oh, you can have your bra back from the other day. It’s hanging in the bathroom.”
    “I thought you’d keep it for a trophy.”
    “I was going to. I’ll keep you instead.” He came up with a skirt and tossed it to her.
    “Trey, I know this is definitely going somewhere, and I have no regrets but…” she hesitated.
    He peeked over the bed at her. “Trust, Chloe. We promised.”
    “I have to help my brother with that race tomorrow. He’ll never believe I’m on top of my game if he knows I’m sleeping with the enemy.”
    “Enemy?”
    “Figure of speech.”
    “So what exactly are you getting at?”
    “Well, we’ve managed to keep things a secret thus far. All I’m asking is that we be discreet for a little longer.”
    “You want to keep us a secret.”
    “Hey! I did just say I had no regrets about falling in love with you.”
    “Are you in love with me?”
    She laughed.
    “What? It’s a serious question.”
    “I know. It’s just that I asked you the same question last night.”
    “When?”
    “After sex! You told me you loved me. And then you called me a foolish woman.”
    “Oh. Well, I guess I get more honest when I’m tired.”
    Her eye brows arched.
    “Sometimes? Sometimes I get more honest when I’m tired. Sometimes I talk nonsense.”
    “Then I guess we’re in love.” She crawled across the bed, half dressed, leaned over the edge and kissed him. “I just don’t want Brant to force us apart.”
    He sighed. “All right, Chloe. Until this race is over I promise to keep this relationship a secret. But I’m not going to like it. I love you and I don’t care who knows it.”
    “I’ll owe you a very big one. I promise.”

    He handed her the shirt he’d been sitting on. “Get going or you’ll be late meeting your brothers.”

    Chloe was in high spirits as she dressed for dinner. She met her brothers in the
