Boundless Desires (His Dirty Secret Book 4) by Evelyn Troy Read Free Book Online Page B

Tyler also stood up from the table. “I don’t think any of us feel like eating.” Tyler looked at Isobel and gave a sexy smile. “Not food, anyway.” Isobel felt herself blush at his blatant innuendo, and then her eye was caught by a commotion in the lobby.
     
    Tyler followed her gaze and in amazement the three of them stared at what was going on just outside the door to the hotel bar. Two members of the hotel staff were forcibly removing an obviously drunk and belligerent Marcus from the drinking area. He could be heard complaining loudly, stating that he ‘wasn’t drunk’ and they ‘had no right to refuse to serve him’.
     
    Looking at each other Tyler and Isobel burst out laughing, although Tyler could have no idea who the drunken man was. “What on earth is going on?” Jessica sounded horrified at what she was witnessing. “Do you know that man?”
     
    “No, thank God.”
     
    “Actually yes, I do.”
     
    They both talked at the same time and an awkward silence ensued as Tyler looked at Isobel with one eyebrow raised questioningly. “And how exactly do you know him?” His voice wasn’t stern but it was definitely curious.
     
    This could go one way or the other but there was no way that Isobel was going to avoid the question or lie to him. “That’s Marcus, Tyler. He’s the man I told you about earlier.”
     
    Before Tyler could say anything, Jessica jumped in. “Oh, does sweet little innocent Isobel have another man on the side?” She sounded absolutely thrilled at the idea, but Tyler soon put her right.
     
    “Don’t judge everyone by your own standards, Jessica. Marcus is Isobel’s ex-boyfriend from years ago.”
     
    An idea came to Isobel’s mind. “Actually, Jessica, remember what I was saying about you needing to find a man that you could actually dominate? Marcus would be absolutely perfect for you. In fact, I think it could be a match made in heaven.” She was only part way joking, and the idea definitely had some merit.
     
    Judging by Jessica’s thoughtful expression, she thought so too. “Is he attached?” she asked Isobel and there was a definite note of interest in her voice.
     
    “Not to my knowledge.” Marcus has never been the sort to play around and see more than one girl at a time in the past, and Isobel didn’t think he would have changed in that aspect. “Why don’t you go and introduce yourself, Jessica? I really was being serious when I said that you would be perfect for each other. And did I mention that he’s a pro footballer who makes millions in sponsorships every year?”
     
    “He does?” Jessica’s expression had turned from being thoughtful to interested in a heartbeat. “Maybe I should go and introduce myself. Would it be okay if I use your name, Isobel, just so he doesn’t think I’m some kind of gold digging fortune hunter?”
     
    Isobel did a good job of hiding her glee, and the smile she gave Jessica was as genuine and friendly as she could make it. “Of course you can tell him I sent you over. I’m not sure if it will do you any favors because we didn’t really part on the best of terms, but with your charms I’m sure you’ll win him over in no time.”
     
    Without saying another word, Jessica quickly walked off with a wave of her hand, her high heels making a staccato sound as she hurried to catch up with Marcus. Isobel turned to face Tyler and found him sat back down with his head in his hands and his shoulders shaking with laughter.
     
    “I don’t believe you just did that.” He could hardly speak for laughing. “I can’t believe you’re actually match-making between my ex-wife and your ex-boyfriend. You are absolutely priceless, Darlin’.”
     
    Isobel gave a little chuckle of her own. “I must admit to having an ulterior motive, Tyler. If those two hook up they’ll give us some much-needed peace.”
     
    “Yeah, and they really are well-suited. I don’t know two people who deserve each other quite as much as
