Apparently it was in Nashville. The women he met were either not interested in him, or were too independent to actually want anything more than a one-night stand.
Just like the Brunette Beauty.
Even though he knew he should just let her go, he wished he could see her once more. He would try again if he ever got the chance. It was obvious she was attracted to him. She had told him countless times that he was hot, but what if it was the alcohol? Maybe she was embarrassed because she usually doesn’t have one-night stands. Maybe it was all the alcohol, but that didn’t seem right because even through his alcohol haze, he still felt something with her. Maybe she didn’t though, and that’s why she ran.
Tate shook his head, he had to get his head on straight, or he would drive himself insane. He had too many things to worry about; adding in the beauty who rocked his world wouldn’t help his mental state. He had to forget her.
He had to.
Chapter 3
Audrey was beginning to hate Ann Frances Bridal Boutique. She had been there nine times in the past week, and Fallon still hadn’t chosen anything. It was driving Audrey insane. How hard was it to pick a dress when Fallon basically looked great in anything! Plus, Lucas didn’t care! He just wanted to be married to her, so why was Fallon putting them through this?
Audrey leaned back into the plush chair, and let out an aggravated sigh. Not only was she in a pissy mood about dress shopping, but she hadn’t heard from Levi in six days. She was really starting to believe that he was done with her. He would have called her by now if he wasn’t. It broke her heart all over again every time something of his wasn’t there. She was so used to cleaning up after him, cooking, and cuddling, that now she felt empty. Audrey just wanted him back; she hated living in that big empty condo, with nothing but shoes.
It was depressing.
But was that the only reason she wanted Levi back? Was it because she was lonely or was it because she really did miss him? Yeah, she had thought about him often, but that was when something of his was missing, or when she knew he was supposed to be there. She hadn’t really missed him, as a person, but missed his presence. She missed the feel of strong arms wrapped around her in bed. She missed making dinner and eating together. She missed watching TV, or talking on the phone until he had to go. She missed those things, the little sweet things, but she didn’t miss Levi. It was weird because she always missed him when he left her, but this time, all she could do was miss Blondie.
Oh, how that blonde giant stayed on her mind. The night they shared was on replay, 24/7. She didn’t remember a lot of it, but what she did remember, was hot and perfect. He took such care, such time with her. His lips were soft and warm along her skin. There was so much of him for her to play with. He was so long and thick in many places. The feel of his rough hands along her smooth skin had her fanning herself as she sat up straighter in the chair.
Man, he was smoking.
Luckily, to take her mind off Blondie, Fallon came out in one of the dresses she was deciding on. Audrey moved her hair behind her ear as she took in the beauty that was her sister. Fallon shrugged her shoulders as she got up on the platform and looked at herself in the dress. The dress was a masterpiece. It was Audrey’s favorite of the two. Made completely of lace, it fit Fallon like a glove. It was tight at the bodice and around her hips before it widened into a full skirt. The bodice came around her neck as a halter, but the under piece went right above Fallon’s breast, still giving her a little bit of cle**age. The back made the dress for Audrey. It dipped all the way down to the top of her bottom, and showed her whole back. It was such a classy dress, not Fallon’s usual style, but it fit her and Audrey loved it.
Plus, the bridesmaid’s dress they chose to go with it was gorgeous.
“I like it,” Fallon said, with her hands on her hips.
“But,” Audrey supplied.
“But, I don’t know if I want to go with the innocent sweet lace thing. It’s not really me, ya know?”
Audrey nodded; they had had this conversation at least a 100 times. “Yes, Fallon, but you look hot. It shows a lot more skin than the mermaid style one. That one is just tight, this one shows boobs, and lower back, I mean what more do you need?”
Fallon nodded, as she always did. She then shrugged her shoulders and went down the stairs of the platform to put on the other dress. They had done this so many times, that Audrey should know the exact moment when Fallon would come out. She didn’t keep up with it that day though because she was too busy playing on her phone. She had to keep her brain busy, if she didn’t, she would think about Blondie and she couldn’t do that.
Audrey also couldn’t think of how she was pretty sure she made a huge mistake, or how he probably told all his friends that she was the biggest slut this side of the Red River. What if he found out her name and looked her up on Facebook? What if he found out she had money and started blackmailing her?!? Yes, it was a long shot. But damn it, it scared the living crap out of her. He seemed like a nice guy, with his sexy blonde hair, beautiful eyes, sweet hands, and smooth swagger, but that still didn’t keep Audrey from thinking he was a conman.
She was crazy.
Audrey’s face fell into her hands, just as Fallon came back out in the second dress. It was an off white strapless dress that hugged Fallon’s curves until it reached below her knees. Then it went into a big puffy mess. It was pretty, especially the champagne sash that wrapped around her waist, but it just did nothing for Audrey. She didn’t think it was Fallon. It was hot, but it wasn’t something that she thought Fallon would be proud of in 30 years when she looked back at the wedding pictures.
