us for brunch but got caught up in restocking. I guess after all those years of seeing me crush on you and you barely notice that I was alive, she just assumed you were immune to my charms.”
    She smiled as she moved away down the hall. “I’m going to take a quick shower before I head over to Daisy’s. Stay as long as you like and don’t bother locking up after. I’ll be back before too late.”
    Colton watched her go, too shocked to say anything until she had nearly reached the door to the bathroom and by then he, thankfully, had gathered enough self-control to keep his mouth shut.
    If Olivia wanted to keep this casual, he could do that. He had lots of experience with keeping things casual. It was the way he preferred to manage his love life, in fact, and if Olivia were anyone other than Olivia he would be relieved that she didn’t want to talk about what had happened in the bedroom or stress about defining their relationship.
    But she wasn’t any other girl.
    She was Olivia, and she’d made him feel things he hadn’t expected to feel: a raw, hungry tenderness that had made making love to her one of his best memories of the past two years.
    Hell, maybe of the past twenty-eight.
    He couldn’t remember anything that had made him as purely happy as having Olivia naked in his arms, or anything that hurt as much as watching her walk away, acting like what they’d shared was just another better-than-average fuck.

CHAPTER ELEVEN
    Olivia
    Amazingly, Daisy kept her promise not to say a word about Olivia’s decision to have a red-hot fling with the wrong brother.
    Coffin painting went off without anything more awkward than a strained moment when Daisy wanted angry eyes on the front of the coffin and Olivia preferred big googly ones, and Olivia returned home at five after seven to find her house silent.
    Upstairs, the bed had been made with fresh sheets and all signs of the erotic afternoon she’d shared with Colt had been smoothed away. Back downstairs, she found the old sheets clean, folded, and sitting on the dryer, meaning Colt had stuck around long enough to wait for the drier to finish before leaving her house.
    She wandered around the ground floor, wondering how he’d spent the time.
    Had he sat at the kitchen table and had a glass of tea? Had he turned on Sports Center in the living room and zoned out while he completed his thoughtful gesture?
    Olivia settled into the overstuffed velvet couch with a sigh and closed her eyes, imagining that she was sitting exactly where Colt had sat and wishing he were there beside her. But before the wish could become a longing, she grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels, finding a teen slasher movie she’d watched several times before and settling in for a re-watch.
    Nothing like horror movie gore to keep your mind off affairs of the heart.
    Her heart had no part in this affair. She and Colt were going to have hot sex for as long as it pleased them both and then he was going to leave and there would be no hard feelings.
    She refused to think about the way Colt had burst through defenses she hadn’t even realized she had, making her feel exposed and safe all at the same time. She refused to think about how beautiful and sexy she’d felt in his arms, or the way he’d looked at her like she was the only woman in the world.
    She wasn’t the only woman in the world.
    She was one of many who had rolled around in bed with Colton Brody. She had known that going in and was prepared to take the necessary steps to keep her perspective.
    That meant no calling Colt to say good night, no texting to see if he was going to join her, Daisy, and Tucker for turkey bowling tomorrow, and no replaying every moment of their sexy afternoon over and over again until she was so turned on she had to run over to his house for a quickie.
    She managed to keep all of her promises to herself until around midnight when she fell asleep and her traitorous subconscious took over.
    Her
