After our heated encounter, I discovered Connor Roland had a delivery to make at a nearby bed-and-breakfast. Though clearly reluctant, he zipped up at my insistence once I'd had my fill.
At the quaint B&B, Connor went about his business while I decided to book a room. Just as I pocketed my keycard, my stomach lurched - there was my boyfriend casually strolling upstairs with twin sisters hanging off each arm.
I was ready to storm over and wipe that smirk off his face when Connor's firm grip stopped me mid-stride. Leaning close, his warm breath tickled my ear as he whispered, "Relax, karma's got this. Those twins? They're notorious for running honey trap scams on clueless tourists."
My blood ran cold as I turned to him, suspicion creeping in. "And you? You're not also—"
Connor's playful grin disappeared. After a beat, he pulled me against his chest. "Come on, sweetheart. I'm horny, not heartless. You know that."
I chewed on his words before shoving him away. "Yeah, I do. So you can bounce now."
Connor clearly hadn't seen this coming. Back in the truck, I'd practically promised him a repeat performance once we arrived.
He chuckled darkly, fingers digging into my waist. "You'll be miserable listening to those thin walls all night. Let me keep you... distracted."
That's when it hit me - he wasn't taking no for an answer. But I was done playing this game. My earlier submission had been pure survival instinct.
I stepped back, breaking contact. "Get some dignity," I spat. "We're not that familiar."
His expression darkened as I turned away.
Alone in my room, I collapsed against the door, hugging my knees. One damn day had turned my world upside down.
After a scalding shower, I checked my charged phone - nothing from the boyfriend who'd left me stranded. But Connor? He'd actually cared enough to warn me when he spotted my ex at the gas station.
Just as regret started creeping in, a man's piercing scream tore through the walls from the adjacent room.
I slumped against the wall, holding my breath as the familiar voice reached my ears—Ethan. My now-ex boyfriend.
Just as Connor had predicted, the twin sisters were running an elaborate honey trap.
