me…”
    She reached for the robe on the back of the door and thrust her arms into it, careful to keep herself hidden from him. He gritted his teeth. First she was trying to keep secrets from him, now she was attempting to hide that gorgeous body. He didn’t like it one damn bit.
    “It’s none of your business, Jake.”
    “After last night—hell, after just now—I think it is.”
    “Why? Because we fucked once?”
    “It was more than just fucking.”
    She lifted her chin. “Was it?”
    He narrowed his gaze at her. He didn’t much like this game she was playing. There was no way Waverly hadn’t felt what he had last night. Their connection was electric. He still wanted her with every fiber of his being. If it was just simple fucking, he’d have been happy to fuck her and leave her but he wasn’t.
    “You know damn well it was.” He stepped close. “Don’t try to lie about it because you can’t. I can see the doubt in your eyes. You’re a crappy liar, Waverly.”
    He saw her throat work. “Look, whatever it was, it doesn’t change things. I’m still pregnant with another man’s baby and…and I don’t intend to work as a waitress forever.” She wrapped her arms about her. “I said I didn’t expect anything of you, and I still don’t. So you shouldn’t expect anything from me, either.”
    He drew in a long breath to prevent him from saying something stupid and blowing things all together.
    “I don’t expect to be lied to,” he said simply. He glanced over her, all bundled up in that fluffy robe. “I’ll leave you to get dressed. Maybe by tonight you’ll have decided whether you want to be honest with me or not.”
    Walker stalked out of the room, shutting the door behind him. He pushed a hand through his hair. Waverly not telling him the whole truth bothered him more than it should. He was willing to bet there were plenty of women he’d slept with who had lied to him. But it hadn’t mattered with them. They were just a willing pussy, someone to fuck and leave.
    But it mattered with Waverly.
    What a fucking idiot he was for breaking his own rule.

    Waverly pushed back her hair from her face and grimaced at her own reflection. At least she was probably done being sick for the night. She washed up and eyed the pack of mints on the side table.
    With a huff, she snatched it up, tore it open and stuffed one in her mouth.
    “Damn him.”
    The sweet seemed to settle her stomach instantly.
    She stuffed the pack in the back of her jeans and ran a brush through her hair. Her stomach was more tangled than her locks. Would he be here tonight as promised? What would she say to him?
    Checking her reflection once more, she gave up and headed downstairs to begin opening up. Maybe he wouldn’t come after all. She’d been rude to him when all he’d done was look after her so wonderfully. So what if talking about her father left her feeling so raw? She should have sucked up the courage and told him everything.
    Perhaps she would if she saw him tonight.
    She scowled when she entered the bar area, noting a few lights were left on. Had she neglected to turn them off? She skipped back in her mind. She’d been distracted for sure, but she was certain Walker wouldn’t have let her forget anything.
    Whirling at the sound of a footstep, she pressed her hand to her heart when Walker stepped out from around the corner.
    “What are you doing here?”
    He lifted a shoulder. “Couldn’t stay away.” He strode over, took her face in his hands and kissed her swiftly.
    “Jake, I—”
    “You can tell me all later. Let’s get out of here.”
    He took her hand.
    “I can’t, I have to—”
    Justice strode up behind the bar, propping her elbows on the surface and grinning at them. “I got back early. You two kids go have fun.”
    She glanced between Jake and Justice. “But…”
    “No buts,” Justice insisted. “I can handle things here and from what Walker tells me, you need a break. If I see you before lunch
