"Let's just say I know who's going to win our bet."
"What?! You know when Mason is going to propose to Bee?!"
"I can't say anything else."
"James, you have to tell me."
He laughed. "There's no way I'm telling you. I have inside information. And you're just going to leak it to Bee."
"I won't, I promise."
"Penny, you're a terrible liar. I told Mason I wouldn't tell anyone."
I pursed my lips. "Husbands and wives don't keep secrets from each other."
"Some bro code breaks marriage code."
"It does not."
"No, it doesn't. But we're not married yet. Ask me again next Saturday and I'll tell you."
"Fine." I sighed. "I was thinking about calling off the wedding, but I guess I can't now."
"Very funny."
I stood up on my tiptoes and kissed him. His hands slid down to the top of my ass as he kissed me back. He didn't seem to care atall that his employees could see us. And the way he was kissing me made me not care either.
"Do you want to get out of here?" he asked. His voice was low and seductive.
"Are you caving?"
"No, but I think I'll be able to get you to."
I shook my head back and forth. "If you cave we can leave right now, though. And you can do whatever you want to me."
He lowered his eyebrows.
"If not, your new friends are waiting for you."
James laughed. "You mean your new friends." He leaned in a little closer to me. "I'm not caving, Penny. But I guarantee that this game will be over by the end of the week."
"Is that so?"
He winked at me and grabbed my hand. I reluctantly followed him back to the table.
"We have a game to play," Sierra said.
Hopefully it wasn't who could flirt better with James. "What's the game?" I asked.
"Two truths, one lie. We'll go around and each say two truths and one lie about ourselves, and then everyone else will guess which thing is a lie."
"Okay, let's play." I took a sip of my beer.
"I'll go first," she said. "I haven't been to church in years. I flunked chemistry in high school. And I have never had a one night stand."
"The last one was a lie," Tavon said.
"Nope." Sierra's cheeks blushed.
