I join her.

“See what happens when you listen to wisdom,” she says and points at herself.

I roll my eyes.

“Seriously, I’m taking full credit for this,” she says. “Thanks to me, you finally got your man. If we lived in the same city, we’d totally have to go out for drinks to celebrate.”

“You’re right.”

“Does Noah know?”

“Not yet.”

“Now that you have your man, you guys should enjoy each other first. You can tell your brother later.”

“Yeah… he’s all mine…”

She furrows her eyebrows, her eyes narrowing. “Why do I feel a but coming?”

“Don’t get me wrong. I’m elated. And I still have to pinch myself to believe it’s true. I’ve lusted after my brother’s best friend for so long I was starting to accept the fact we’d only be together in my dirty fantasies––”

“You guys are dating. Reality trumps fantasy.”

“That’s part of the problem.”

“I can only assume the California sun hit your head hard because that doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.”

“Rhys doesn’t date, but he’s been around. A lot.”

“Okay…” Michaela nods.

“You know what they say… once a playboy… always a playboy.”

“If you two are dating, then Mr. Luva Boy hung up his gloves. End of story.”

“My fear is one day soon he’ll wake up and realize I’m just Keira—a girl who’s inexperienced and drifting with no particular aim. He’s a successful billionaire.” My eyes lift to the luxurious mansion. “I have nothing to offer, Mikki.”

“You make it sound like the guy is settling by being with you.”

“It feels like it.”

Her jaw drops. “Where do all these insecurities come from? You’re like a bulldozer. Nothing stops you. Nothing frightens you.”

I share everything Arianne told me about Dark Compulsion.

“All those insecurities were soft whispers all day yesterday, but when I visited the private club’s website this morning, it hit me. He’s used to women of a certaincaliber.”

There were no photos on the website, but the description was clear,where LA’s finest comes to play.

Mikki stares at me, incredulous.

“This is about a bunch of female tycoons, socialites, actresses, models, and singers?”

“Women who are a lot more daring in their sexuality and have a purpose in life.”

Mikki considers me for a few beats.

“For the daring sexuality part, you have a secret weapon at your disposal.”
