Even though she didn't call him 'brother,' the familiar 'Remi' was far better than the cold formality of 'Mr. Dashiell.' At least it showed Lizzy hadn't completely rejected their shared past.

Remington observed the woman beneath him, her eyelashes fluttering with nervous anticipation, deepening the intensity in his gaze.

He sat up and helped Lizzy sit up as well.

Catching a glimpse of his relaxed posture, her cheeks flushed with heat, prompting her to quickly avert her gaze. Inwardly, she silently cursed him, calling him a "jerk, sleazebag, shameless."n"What are you cursing me for?"

His deep voice filled the space beside her, startling her.
