couple’s trip. I know people and I’m a little nervous. I’m also really excited. I can’t wait to introduce you to people.”
    “You have a wonderful way about you.”
    “Right back at you,” Jared said, grabbing Harper’s chin and planting a scorching kiss on her. “Now show me the naughty stuff before you put it in the bag. I want something good to dream about tonight.”
    “And that’s my cue to leave,” Zander said, moving toward the door. “Just for the record, I will be hopping into bed with the two of you tomorrow morning because it’s my last Harper fix for a week. You can’t stop me, so don’t even try.”
    “Knock before you enter,” Jared ordered.
    “Cover your freaky nipples so I don’t inadvertently stare,” Zander shot back.
    “I don’t have freaky nipples!”
    Harper raised her eyebrows as she got to her feet, chuckling as she watched Jared rub his chest. It appeared she wasn’t the only insecure one.

    J ARED woke to the sound of voices, internally sighing when he realized Zander was not only in the room, but also on the opposite side of the bed. He pressed his eyes shut and pretended he was sleeping so he could listen for a few minutes.
    “I think you’re going to have a marvelous time,” Zander said. “You’ll be nervous for the first few minutes and then you’ll relax and be the charmer we all know and love.”
    “No one has ever called me charming,” Harper countered.
    “I call you charming all of the time,” Zander said. “Stop stressing yourself out. You’re going to be a hit and Jared is going to be thrilled to show you off to his friends. You’re very attractive. People will think he paid for the pleasure of your company you’re so attractive.”
    “Are you insinuating I look like a hooker?”
    Jared bit his lip to keep from laughing. There was something delightful about the way Harper and Zander interacted. As much as he wished he had her to himself more often, Jared would never try and get between Harper and Zander. They were magical in the way they loved one another.
    “You don’t look like a hooker,” Zander replied. “I still maintain if you acted like a hooker in the bedroom Jared would like it, though.”
    “You’re such a freak,” Harper complained.
    They were quiet for a few moments.
    “You’re going to be okay at work, right?” Harper asked. “You can handle Molly and Eric without too much difficulty, I’m sure. They’ve been fighting a lot lately, though.”
    “Yes, well, Molly is irritating and Eric has a bad attitude,” Zander said, referring to GHI’s other two employees. “They’ll be fine. I’m actually looking forward to telling Eric you’re spending the week with Jared at a sleazy hotel. He’s trying to put his crush on you behind him and this will pretty much send him over the edge.”
    “It’s not a sleazy hotel.”
    “It will be when I get done telling the story,” Zander said. “Harp, I promise things are going to be fine. If we need you, we’ll call you. You’re only twenty minutes away.”
    “I know. It’s just … I’m going to miss you. When was the last time we were apart this long?”
    “I’ll call you every day,” Zander said. “In fact, since you’re going to miss me so much, why don’t we Skype in bed every morning? It will be fun. Just cover up Jared’s nipples so they don’t scare me.”
    Jared fought the urge to scowl.
    “Okay,” Harper said. “We’ll Skype every morning.”
    “And if you have a fashion emergency, don’t hesitate to call,” Zander added. “I’ll have my cell phone with me. I’ll help you look like the princess you are.”
    “Thank you,” Harper said, her voice low. “You’re the best friend a girl could ever ask for.”
    “And I have beautiful nipples,” Zander said. “Unlike your boyfriend who is eavesdropping while he’s pretending to be asleep.”
    Jared forced out an exasperated sigh and rolled so he was facing Harper and Zander. They sat next to each
