A Vow Of Seduction: Hot Night in the Hamptons / Seduced Before Sunrise

* * *

He considered his answer, and then he opted for the truth. It was easier that way. “At first, it was a little bit about the chase. I’m not used to being told no. But then, at the wedding, when you looked so sad, I just wanted to make you smile. I didn’t plan what happened. That’s not my MO or anything. Meet hot chick, take her down to the bedrooms in the yacht. I just thought we’d have fun. I felt connected to you. And then you were gone.”

She nodded. “Why didn’t you tell me it was your yacht?”

“Would you have lumped me in with the rest of Adam’s bratty, rich-kid friends?”

She scrunched her nose. “Maybe. But not once we started talking.”

“I guess you live and learn.” For the next several blocks they talked about work and where they went to school.

He asked her something else he’d been dying to know. “Okay, another question for you. Why are you so anti-anything? From the sounds of it you don’t even want a relationship, or to date.”

She adjusted her laptop bag on her shoulder, and he just reached over and took it from her. “If you knew my mother, you would understand.”

“Go on, tell me.”

Elina slid him a glance. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” She shook her head. “My mother is warm and vivacious and fun. She’s also a total addict.”

Wow. Not what he’d been expecting. “I’m sorry, Elina, that must’ve been rough.”

She shook her head. “It’s not what you think. She’s addicted to love. She gets high off a new relationship. The dramatics of dating. And the dramatics of divorce. She’s been married seven times. Three of those to my father.”

Some of this he knew from Adam. But it was still unbelievable to hear. “Holy shit. Are you serious?”

“Yeah. I wish I was kidding. She has six ex-husbands.”

“Seriously?”

“Yeah. So growing up, she would have a guy, then get bored, and instead of working it out, she would just divorce him.”
