Page 57 of Unexpected Temptation
“I’m your soon-to-be wife?”she said with a bright smile.
Jaylen choked back his need to laugh.
He pushed the door open and waited until she walked by.He shuddered in distaste when she deliberately rubbed her breasts against his arm, and then he had to hold his breath when the stench of her strong perfume hit him.
Jaylen watched her as she glanced around before facing him.
“I’m sorry it took so long for me to get here.I was helping a dear friend of mine.”Meredith said and continued her search, missing the disgust on Jaylen’s face.
Jaylen crossed his arms and watched her move around the cabin.She tried to hide the sneer of distaste as she walked.
“Is that so?”
“Yes.I sent my sister here to tell you I would be here, but not when we discussed.That I’d get here as quickly as I could.”
“We didn’t have a discussion about you coming.And what about using the phone?”
“Well, I just assumed from our talks that you expected me, and I didn’t use the phone because I wanted to surprise you.”
It shocked her how large and handsome he was.She’d seen the pictures, but they definitely hadn’t done him justice.He was clearly the most handsome, rugged man she’d ever known.She bit back her smile.And the richest.
Meredith casually looked around for signs of her sister.She’d found out Amelia had stayed when she transferred her inheritance to a bank in town.The lawyer in charge of it told her father, who told Meredith.
A feeling of glee raced through her when she saw several things she knew to be Amelia’s.The fact that Amelia had taken her place bothered her, even though she didn’t really want him for anything but his money.But she didn’t want Amelia to have either.
Meredith had been shocked when she’d had him investigated and found out how wonderfully rich he was.There was no way she was going to let her mousy little sister take what she considered hers.
“That was my fault for not communicating better,” Jaylen said.
Meredith postured in front of him and let him enjoy what would be his very shortly.
“So, what exactly did my sister tell you?”
“She said you had changed your mind.”
Meredith tsk-tsked and shook her head sadly.
“I’m sorry.Amelia has always been jealous of me and has tried to make my life hard at times.She’s not really a mean person.She just lets her emotions control her actions.”
“So now you’re here.What exactly do you want?”he asked.
Meredith pressed her breasts against his arm.
“Darling, I want you.I’m sorry my sister misled you, but I’m here now to take care of you,” she purred.
“And how exactly are you going to do that?”
Meredith’s head snapped back a bit.“Well, I don’t know what you need.”
“Do you cook or clean?”
“I’ll do whatever needs to be done, or we can hire people.”
“You’ll be able to live on the ranch full time?”
****
Jaylen was seriouslytrying to keep from bodily picking this woman up and throwing her out the door before Amelia got back from her walk and found her here.The thought of her being in distress over this bitch tore through him.He was having a hard time not showing his aversion toward her.Everything about her was fake, from her lips to her boobs to her attitude.
