The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 277

Lexi awoke with a start as the first stream of morning sunlight filtered through the blinds. Her mind was a foggy mess, with zero recollection of the events from the previous night.

The weather had been particularly nasty, with winds howling and main pelting against the windows Callum had kindly checked in on her, and they’d shared a few drinks.

Beyond that Lexi couldn’t remember a thing

Rubbing her throbbing temples, Lexi made a mental note to avoid alcohol in the future. She wondered if she had drunkenly beaten up Callum the night before

While amusing herself with visions of battering Callum, Lexi attempted to sit up only to discover a heavy lethargy in her limbs. Worse still, she was completely naked!

Lexi’s mind stalled, her gaze stiffly turned to the perfectly sculpted hody lying next to hers. Although he had his back to her, Lexi was already terrified. She twisted her head again and saw a smashed bottle of red wine and scattered clothing on the floor a scenario that let one’s imagination run wild

So, had she started it, or was it Callum?

Before Lexi could untangle her thoughts, she heard a small noise from behind. Fearful of being discovered, she quickly closed her eyes, pretending to still be asleep.

Callum opened his eyes, feeling an awkwardness settle upon seeing Lexi beside him. He quickly decided to sneak out while she was still asleep Hastily pulling on his jeans, he grabbed his shirt and fled the room like a fugitive

As the sound of the door closing reached her ears, Lexi knew Callum was gone. She heaved a sigh of relief. It was better this way, avoiding an awkward confrontation.

Besides, it was merely a one–night stand after a drunken night, night? They were adults, after all it wasn’t their first rodeo!
