trouble out at your place. You okay, darlin’?” he asked.
She turned to look at him. He was still as good looking as ever, six feet of prime expensively dressed cowboy. Only now she also saw the calculation in his eyes. He wouldn’t be able to use his charming cons on her anymore. She was immune to his bullshit now.
“I’m fine, Jake. You still dating Sheila? Or did you start cheating on her, too?” she asked sweetly, going on the offensive. She didn’t want to answer any of his questions, and this was the best way to head them off.
“Sheila never meant anything to me. She was just a way to burn off some tension. I would never have turned to her if you hadn’t had that no sex until marriage rule,” he said.
Marla looked around to see if anyone had overheard his outburst. She wasn’t ashamed of her old-fashioned morals. Of course, she was considering changing them because of Karlo. She had an epiphany.
“You know, Jake, it wasn’t a stupid rule. It made me think twice about my relationships instead of relying solely on the heat of the moment. Obviously, you weren’t the right man because I was never tempted to change my mind. Now that I’ve met the right man, I can see the difference. You’re the faux man. You have good packaging, but underneath, you’re lead instead of gold. I have the real deal now and it’s like night and day. Just being in the same room with him gets me so hot I nearly lose control. Now you’ll have to excuse me, I’ve got appointments.”
She grabbed both kinds of steak and ignoring Jake’s suddenly red and angry face, she took her cart and left. She was a little sorry for revealing how important Karlo was to her so soon after they had decided to keep their relationship on the down low. At the same time, it felt really good to get a little of her own back. She smiled her way through the checkout line. She was still smiling when she drove by the police station. Karlo was waiting for her outside. He was standing with the sheriff when she pulled up in her Suburban.
The two men shook hands before Karlo opened the door and climbed in. Marla leaned over and kissed him on the cheek before she had time to consider her actions. Karlo looked surprised and then he gave her a wide smile.
“We’ll have to try that again later,” he said.
“Yes, we will,” was all she said, giving him another shock. “We have one more stop to make before we head home. We need to stop by Mr. Edward’s office and sign the pre-nup. Then we can go into Boulder on Monday to get married.”
“Okay, if that’s what you want. All I want is to make you happy,” he said.
He was pleased she would soon be his. Then he would have full rights to protect her from anything or anybody who might try to bring her harm. And since he still had a pulse, he was also looking forward to the wedding night.
Looking in the back, he noticed the grocery bags.
“Aren’t you worried about the food spoiling? It’s a really warm day today.”
“One of the first things I bought after I’d been working for a few years was a portable refrigeration unit. It hooks up to the battery. It’ll even keep ice cream frozen if I set the temperature low enough. Living more than half an hour from town, made it easier getting groceries back to the house. I used to have to use ice packs, and the ice cream would still be half melted when I got home. This is better,” she said with a smile.
“Does that mean you bought ice cream? I have a memory of eating chocolate ice cream. I was at some kind of party…I can’t remember anything else,” he said when the memory blanked again.
“I know this is frustrating for you. I have some ideas on how to help you,” she said as she pulled into a parking space. “We can talk about it tonight.”
“Yes. Since you know more about me than I know about me, tonight you can tell me what you know,” he said.
Shit, now what am I going to do? Marla used the time it took to get out of the car and
