but that could be the early hour. Judging by the grey light filtering through the curtains, the sun had barely
risen. Then again, this was Las Vegas. That glow coming through the window could be caused by neon, not
nature.
Chase shook his head as he stumbled toward the bathroom. He d be happy to get back to his family s
farm. This life was exciting. Travel. A different city every week. But he d be happy to have his mama s
home cooking every day, and be able to cleanse his system of all the junk food and alcohol he d indulged in
lately. He d work out daily at home and come back next season leaner and meaner and ready to win.
That resolution made, Chase took care of what he had to in the bathroom, including a quick shower.
He decided it was best to be clean in case Leesa woke up feeling amorous. You never know, and it didn t
hurt to be prepared.
After brushing his teeth, Chase eased open the bathroom door.
She was still asleep. Good. He could creep back into bed and she d never know he was gone. Even if
they hadn t had sex, he still liked waking up next to her. It felt nice.
With one of the hotel s white towels wrapped around his waist, Chase tiptoed into the room. They d
fallen asleep last night with the lights on, so he d have no problem finding a pair of shorts in the clean
clothes piled in his duffle bag. He would put those on instead of getting back into his jeans. Might as well
be comfortable, and as far as access in case Leesa was a morning person, shorts were far better than jeans.
Hell, a man could dream, couldn t he?
Chase found a pair of boxer shorts, but decided that was too intimate. He had a feeling she might not
like waking up to find him in underwear in bed with her. It would make him seem damn presumptuous. In
spite of the fact they d done stuff together at the club, he wasn t about to assume anything because of it.
She was different here, off work. Besides, the strip club and that lap dance had been part of her job.
Chase didn t want to be a job. He wanted her to like him, to want him, to be with him because she wanted
to, not because someone paid her to.
He dug farther into the jumbled heap, looking for a pair of his workout shorts to wear. Unfortunately,
with home just a day away, most of his clothes were dirty. He d gotten lazy and figured he could bring his
laundry there and wash it more easily than locate a laundromat.

This was Vegas. There were far better ways to spend his time than to sit and watch his clothes spin in
circles. One such way was snoring lightly in his bed. That thought made him smile, and he dug with more
enthusiasm than before. Hell, if he had to, he d grab a pair of Garret s shorts. The guy had more clothes
than most girls.
Chase turned toward Garret s side of the room intent on pilfering some shorts when something shiny
caught his eye. On the dresser, right in front of the mirror and below the lamp sat two gold rings.
 What the hell? Chase moved closer and picked one up, then the second. One was tiny, the other
large enough to fit on his finger. Then he spied the pieces of paper lying beneath the rings. He picked up
the smaller one. It was a receipt for one wedding ceremony and two gold bands, paid for in cash with
yesterday s date.
Swallowing hard, Chase picked up the larger, more decorative piece of paper. Across the top, in fancy
printing was written Certificate of Marriage. Below that, under the word groom was holy crap his name
printed in block letters. His eyes swung to the bride s name and there it was Leesa Santiago. No, he d
never heard her last name, but the Leesa had two E s in it and how often did you see that?
He scanned down the page and saw again yesterday s date and a line with his signature. Next to that
was what must be Leesa s signature, and beneath that were two scrawled names he didn t recognize listed
under Witnesses. Chase ran his hand over his face, rubbing hard.
He hadn t drank that much. How the hell could he have been intoxicated enough to get married? And [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
