The last thing Vaughan Hewson expects
to find when he returns to his childhood home is a broken hearted
bride in his shower, let alone the drama and chaos that comes with
her.
Lydia Green doesn't know whether to burn down the church
or sit and
cry in a corner. Discovering the love of your life is
having an affair on your wedding day is bad enough. Finding out it's
with his best man is another thing all together. She narrowly escapes
tying the knot and meets Vaughan only hours later.
Vaughan is
the exact opposite of the picture perfect, respected businessman she
thought she'd marry. This former musician-turned-bartender is rough
around the edges and unsettled. But she already tried Mr. Right and
discovered he's all wrong-maybe it's time to give Mr. Right Now a
chance.
After all, what's wrong with getting dirty?
“Once upon a time,” he began, voice
low and measured. “There was a princess. A beautiful, occasionally
annoying princess.”
“What was her name?”
“Ah,
Notlydia.”
I frowned. “Her name is Notlydia?”
“You
wanted a story, I’m giving you one. Shut up.”
“Whatever.”
An
even heavier sigh from the man. “Anyhoo, Notlydia was all set up to
marry this prince. We’ll call him Prince Bag of Dicks.”
“Works
for me.”
“But on the day of her wedding, when she was
wearing this sweet dress that served her tits up like they were a
fucking platter—”
“Is this an R-rated story?”
“Please,”
he said, sliding an arm around my bare waist. And I let him. “R is
for rubbish. If you don’t get to see any penetration then you’re
wasting your time. This is XXX.”
I laughed.
“So on
the day of her wedding to Prince Bag of Dicks, Notlydia kisses him
and he turns into a big slimy two-headed toad with terrible breath
and even worse foot odor.”
“Whoa.” I rested my head back
against his shoulder. “Poor Notlydia.”
“Hell of a plot
twist, right?”
“Never saw that one coming.”
“Mm.”
He rested his cheek against the top of my head.
“What
happens next?”
“Well, she’s completely freaked out, of
course.”
“Of course.”
“And she takes off into
the woods. She’s running through bushes, jumping fences, climbing
trees, you name it. Nothing’s going to stop her from getting the
hell away from that toad, Prince Bag of
Dicks.” He took a
sip of beer. “Unfortunately, she loses her fancy dress along the
way. She’s just down to some skimpy underwear and a corset and with
all that jogging through the forest, it’s barely holding her in.
One decent breath and there’s going to be nipple out there for all
the world to see.
Did I happen to mention she’d been voted
Best Rack in the kingdom four years running? Anyway, eventually she
finds this small cottage. Now, what you don’t know about Notlydia
is that she has a shady past.”I tried to look up at him. But with
the angle, all I got was stubble and cheekbone. “That doesn’t
sound like Notlydia.”
“Be quiet.” A hand covered my
mouth. “Notlydia’s a dirty, dirty girl. Got a bad side like you
wouldn’t believe. A little breaking and entering is nothing to her.
So into the house she goes. But she’s all muddy from running
through the woods, see? She can’t let people see her like this,
she’s a princess, for fuck’s sake.”
The hand remained
over my mouth. Which was fine, I had nothing to add to his
pornographic fairy tale.
“Notlydia gets in the shower and
starts soaping herself. There’s lots of bubbles and steam, and
she’s a modern woman so there’s a bit of self-love. She even
finds time to wash her hair, shave under her pits. Things like that.
But then the owner of the cottage wakes up and hears the water
running. He stomps into the bathroom saying, someone’s using up my
hot water. Notlydia cries out, not me, not me.”
He craned
his neck, meeting my gaze. “See, babe, what did I tell you? That
Notlydia is a filthy little liar.”
I looked up to heaven. No
help was forthcoming.
“Someone’s using up all my soap,
says the owner. Not me, not me, cries Notlydia.” He put his lips
next to my ear. “She should be ashamed of herself, shouldn’t she?
If ever a busty princess deserved a spanking.”
I bit at the
palm of his hand, teeth catching at the fleshy mound beneath his
thumb.
“Ow.” He laughed, pulling his hand free. “Then
the owner said, someone’s been fingering herself in my
shower.”
“Stop!” I put my hands over my ears, trying
desperately to hold in my laughter. “This is the worst story ever.
The Brothers Grimm are rolling over in their graves.”
“Notlydia
throws back the shower curtain and says, oh yeah, big boy, that was
me. Come and get it. And they have wild sex all over the cottage.”
Vaughan’s body jerked beneath mine as he laughed his ass off. “The
end.”
“No way. Notlydia is virtuous and pure. She’d
never pull that sort of shit.”
“Nah.” He chuckled. “It
all happened exactly as I said. Dirtiest princess in all the
land.”
“Like hell. The owner of that cottage was a pervert
and a deviant. Why, he would have picked the lock on a chastity belt.
She never stood a chance.” Difficult to maintain my pious stance,
given I’d started laughing so hard tears were pouring down my
cheeks. The funny bastard. “I want to know more about this cottage
owner. What’s his name?”
“I don’t know. Let me think .
. .” He rested his chin back on top of my head. “He definitely
isn’t Prince Charming.”
“He could be!”
Silence.
“If
he wanted to. Or not. Whatever,” I added weakly. Crap. “Let’s
go back to not talking.”
I was a moron.
We’d been
all relaxed and laughing. Me and my idiot mouth. Way to go, Lydia.
Just shout out any old impossible daydream to the dude who’s made
it clear there was no future “we.” If someone could just direct
me to the nearest brick wall, I’d knock a little sense into
myself.On the other hand, it was two stupid words. Surely he could
have ignored the last hundred years of Disney perpetuating
slick-haired young royals gallivanting around the countryside saving
hot babes in distress. For the sake of getting along. God knows,
Chris never had any problems ignoring or placating me. I’d seen his
thoughtless gorgeous smile aimed my way a hundred times. No, a
thousand. If only I’d recognized it for what it was.
Ugh.
Just the thought of it made me want to punch the douche all over
again.
Maybe I needed a bit more than a week to get over that
catastrophe. The money would help. Substantially. I’d never
imagined that compromising my morals and taking hush money from such
foul woe-begotten assholes would feel so good. Maybe I should sell
out more often.
“This, ah, this Prince Charming of yours,”
he said haltingly.
“Yes?”
Vaughan shifted beneath
me, pushing out a heavy breath. “I mean, it doesn’t make sense,
does it? Why would he be in a cottage instead of a castle?”
“Well
. . . his parents, the king and queen of the neighboring kingdom,
died in a terrible accident.”
I stayed perfectly still,
waiting to see how he’d react.
“I see.”
“And it
hurt him so bad he just, he didn’t want to be a prince
anymore.”
Nothing from him.
“Bad things happen in
fairy tales sometimes.”
A grunt.
“It’s not fair,
but it happens,” I said, feeling my way with more caution than
skill. “The prince loved his parents and the castle had too many
memories.”
“Hmm.”
“So he ran away into the
woods too.”
“Doesn’t sound like much of a prince if he
can’t handle his shit,” he said.
“Princes are just men
too, human beings. I don’t think a crown or a penis gives you
magical invulnerability to loss and pain.” I stared at the wall,
thinking the problem through. “Life is hard.
Terrible
things happen. We all have feelings. We’re all just flesh and
blood, trying to do our best.”
“Running away from problems
isn’t doing your best.” His voice echoed around the small room,
the same as around in my head.
What with holding the Coeur
d’Alene title for runaway bride of the year, I had no answer. None
at all. So much for my half-assed wisdom.
