“Holy fucking shit.”
My eyes scanned the booze. Johnnie Walker Blue Label, Bunnahabhain Limited Edition, Macallan Sherrywood forty-year-old single malt scotch, which I knew was about a fourteen-thousand-dollar bottle. Dalmore, Glenfarcias…and shit. He even had Glenfiddich. One of the best damn Scotch Whiskys around.
I shook my head and opened the water, taking a long drink from it. I moved back around the bar and over to the small sitting area. There were two chairs that flanked a large sofa. I sat down and dropped my head in my hands after I placed the water on the table.
My head was fucking pounding, my entire body aching from this damn flu. I was honest-to-God surprised my fever had broken. I felt like crap. I rubbed my fingertips on my temples and groaned. Maybe it was just the idea of meeting with Maebh’s father.
“Fucking flu,” I said as I moved my hands and scrubbed my face before closing my eyes and dropping my head against the sofa. I knew if I wasn’t careful, I’d fall asleep. I let my body relax some and the most beautiful green eyes popped into my mind.
I smiled and whispered, “Maebh.” I slowly felt myself slipping into sleep before someone cleared their throat.
A shiver ran down my back, and I knew she was in the room.
“You look like shite.”
My stomach dropped at the sound of her voice and me smile grew bigger. “I feel like it, too.”
Lifting my head, I saw the most beautiful woman on Earth standing with her hands crossed over her chest. The woman I loved more than my own life. The woman I planned on winning back. The woman I planned on making love to by the end of the day if it killed me. That woman was dressed in a white lace outfit that instantly had my cock going stiff. Under the lace was a bra that looked like a damn sports bra and white shorts that looked like nothing more than the boy short panties she loved.
“Maebh,” I whispered as I stood. Closing my eyes, I tried to get the room to stop spinning.
“Are you okay?” she asked, my entire body to shuddering at her touch.
“I am now,” I breathed out, staring in her beautiful emerald eyes.
Her mouth twitched with a smile.
“Wait, am I dreaming?”
Now she did smile. A full-blown, knock-me-off-my-damn-feet kind of smile. “No, why?”
“Well, for one thing, you’re standing here with me. You’re not yelling and accusing me of cheating. Your dad’s not in here threatening to have the Irish mafia kick my ass. Something’s wrong.”
Maebh doubled over laughing and moved next to me, prompting me to sit down on the sofa. The back of her hand came to my forehead the moment I sat. She shook her head and let out a breath.
“What are you doing flying across the ocean when you’re sick, you eejit?”
“The moment I heard what bullshit Kylie pulled, I needed to get to you. You needed to hear it from me that nothing happened with her. I swear on my family’s life, nothing happened.”
“So you jumped on a private plane and flew here?” she asked.
I nodded. “My mother wouldn’t let me leave unless I was fever free.” I pouted and Maebh shook her head, trying to hide the grin.
“Smart woman,” Maebh whispered, reaching for my water and handing it to me. “You don’t have a fever, but you certainly don’t look like you feel well.”
I leaned my head back and closed my eyes. “I don’t. I feel like shit.” Lifting my head again, our eyes met. “Maebh, I need you to know that nothing happened between me and Kylie. I would never hurt you, I promised you I would never—”
Her fingers pushed against my lips. She moved quickly and positioned herself with her legs straddling me and her body over my hardening cock.
“I already know nothing happened, and I’m sorry I ran.”
My brows pulled together in confusion and I stared at her. What did she mean she already knew? Why the hell did she leave and come to Ireland then?
Confused, I spoke the only word that would come out of my mouth. “Huh?”
Maebh let out a soft sigh and kissed me on the forehead before locking her gaze with mine. “I’m sorry I let her pull at those small doubts in me mind. She pushed the right buttons and caused me to turn and tuck tail. What I should have done was march past her little arse and straight up to you. If I had paid attention the second time I came over, I would have found you passed out from a fever and known she was bluffing. I think I knew deep down at the time she was lying, but it took me stubborn Irish arse time to realize it. I was going to leave to head back to America earlier today when me da stopped me. Melanie had already called him and told him you were on your way here. And to tell me nothing happened between you and Kylie, and that Kylie had played a cruel joke on me and even erased me text messages.” Her brow lifted as she added, “She is a piece of work, that one.”
