where she kept her mouth firmly shut.
“So what do you say?” he asked.
“I say you’re crazy.”
“This isn’t a psych evaluation.”
Sky shook her head. “It will never work. There are a hundred things that could go wrong. Maybe more.” She rested a hand on her hip. “Aren’t there laws against this sort of thing? Fraud? Alienation of affections? It’s a really bad idea.”
“I’m not asking for your opinion.”
“Then what are you asking?”
“Will you be the woman? My woman.” He looked heavenward for a moment, and let out a long breath. “What I mean is, will you be my fiancée?”
Maybe she was crazy, too, but for a split second she wished he were asking for real. To marry him. How insane was that? “I won’t dignify that with a response.”
“I’m not looking for dignity. A simple yes or yes will suffice.”
“I can’t do this, Dom.”
“Do I have to remind you it’s your meddling that cost me a fiancée? Think about my mother, a courageous woman who sacrificed everything for me. It’s my chance to do something nice for her. With your help. Before I have to lay the bad news on her that I’m not getting married, after all. You owe me, Sky.”
“When you said you needed a woman, I thought you were talking about something else.”
“Like what?” he asked, his mouth curving up to let her know he knew what she meant.
“Sex. I thought you meant sex—as in ‘he needed a drink and he needed a woman.’ Not necessarily in that order.”
“And you still invited me to dinner,” he reminded her, his deep voice brimming with laughter.
She sighed. “Yeah. We should both have a psych evaluation. Maybe we can get a group rate.” Shaking her head, she met his gaze and sighed. “Sex would have been so much simpler.”
