worth it. Liam was asking me to lie to his entire family, fake that I was in love with him, get married, and then leave when the year was up. Yes, I knew I should have thought about all that before agreeing, but hey, I didn’t say I was smart. Hearing Liam and that girl having sex while I was only a floor away made me realize that this deal wasn’t right, for anyone.
I didn’t want to hurt and lie to people I hadn’t even met just so Liam could get the company from his father. I wasn’t going to be some pawn in this little game. I still had my pride. Well, most of it anyways. I could still go back to my jobs and maybe hopefully my apartment. I just had to tell Liam I was not going to do this anymore and that I would be leaving. Nodding at myself and my decision, I pulled the covers away and got out of bed.
As I moved around my room, I heard what I thought was the front door open, then close. Okay, now is my time. I quickly went and washed my face before throwing on a pair of sweats and a loose t-shirt. There wasn’t anyone here to impress, so why get dressed up? I walked out of my room, pulling my hair into a messy ponytail, and headed toward the kitchen. My footsteps were soft on the tile because of my socks. I glanced at the clock and saw it was only a quarter after nine. So early on a Sunday. Wanting to get this over with so I could run away like a dog with its tail stuck between its legs, I looked around for Liam.
I didn’t find him in the kitchen, living room, or even his bedroom. I wondered where he could be. I didn’t think he was the one who’d left earlier. With a quick glance in the garage, I realized I was correct because all four cars were parked. When I headed back to the kitchen, I could actually feel myself starting to worry. Stupid, I know. I heard a splashing noise and turned my head to look out the window. I could just make out a body moving in the pool. Found him.
Heading outside, I took a deep breath when I was close enough to the pool. Here we go. We can do this, Jenna.
“Liam?” I called out. Thankfully, just as I called his name, his head popped up from the water at the other end of the pool. He jerked his head in my direction.
“Jenna?”
“I need to talk to you,” I said as he worked his way toward me. He was only a few feet away from me when he stood up, the water coming to the middle of his thigh. I looked down his shirtless body, and my mouth dried up. The man worked out! Water rolled down his toned chest to his stomach, before his swim shorts soaked it up. A hard eight-pack graced his stomach, and my hands twitched, wanting to feel it. Without his dress shirt on, I realized his arms were bigger than I had originally thought. They were roped in muscle. He wasn’t even flexing, and they stood out, well defined. Liam’s brown hair stuck to his forehead, and drops of water hung at the tips. Seeing a man shirtless, with water dripping off of his body, made my body flush. The idea of running my tongue across his chest came to mind, and I didn’t care that the liquid was chlorine and not regular water.
“Jenna?” Liam snapped his fingers in front of my face, and I jerked my gaze away from his body. My face flushed. I cleared my throat, feeling embarrassed for being caught staring at him.
“Oh, sorry. I, um…” I tried to remember why I came out here in the first place, but my mind was blank. Liam smirked at me as he walked up the steps, eventually stepping out of the pool. Without meaning to, I looked over his body again, wanting to run my hands down his wet front. Jenna, stop! You came out here for a reason, and that reason isn’t to eye-rape him. “I need to talk to you about our deal,” I finally forced myself to say. If you were in my position, you would understand how hard it would be to say something while looking at a hot, shirtless guy.
“Again?” Liam asked, grabbing a towel and running it across his head.
“Yes. I…I can’t do it.” He turned and stared
