Falling for the Enemy (Falling in Love) by Sam Crescent Page B

night.” He reached over, touching her hand.
    Pulling away from him she shot him a glare. “I don’t want you touching me.”
    “Your family want s us to be together, June.”
    Staring at him, she dropped the fork to her plate. “You see that man ? The one who is so out of place? I was fucking him while you rang my doorbell. That’s right, he was inside me, and I didn’t want to come here. This date has been awful.” Her heart was pounding inside her chest, threatening to escape. “I don’t like you, and I bet you’ve got a string of women up and down the country waiting for you.”
    He didn’t disagree with her.
    “This is not going to be anything. We’re not going on another date. I don’t want anything to do with you.”
    She pushed her chair back and stood. Without giving him another look, she turned on her heel and moved toward Trey. He was frowning at her approach.
    “Get me out of here please. I need to get away from him.”
    His arm settled around her back, leading her out of the room. She didn’t wait for her coat. Getting out of the restaurant was what she needed.
    Trey sat in the back while Dale drove the car.
    “We’re going to stop for some burgers,” Dale said. “I’m hungry.”
    “Can I come in with you?” she asked, needing something to eat.
    Both men agreed.
    “What’s going on? What happened?” Trey asked.
    He stroked her cheek. The action was so tender she almost burst out crying.
    “He was talking crap about you. Talking about how out of place you looked and he wouldn’t shut up. I snapped and blurted everything out. I told him you were fucking me when he knocked on the door this evening. Crap, this is going to end badly.”
    Trey wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her back.
    She leaned forward, feeling her stomach ready to expel what little she’d eaten.
    “I shouldn’t have said anything,” she said.
    “Don’t worry about it. We’ll get through this together.”
    Dale pulled into a burger bar. They left the car and headed inside, taking a seat as far back as possible. She felt Dale’s gaze on them as they looked over a menu together.
    “What?” Trey asked.
    “Nothing. It’s just you look like a couple who has been together for years. It’s kind of cool to see. ” He went back to reading the menu.
    Glancing up at Trey she saw him glaring at his friend.
    She shook her head, telling him without words to let it drop. When the waitress came over the guys ordered cheeseburgers with everything while she had a turkey burger with everything. She was starving and needed the calories to help her focus.
    Her cell phone buzzed. Pulling the phone from her pocket she saw it was her mother.
    “What’s the matter?” Trey asked.
    “I can’t deal with her right now.” Turning the phone off, she handed it to Trey. “Please don’t let me have it until tomorrow.”
    “Are you sure?”
    “Hell yeah. Mom is going to be shouting, cursing, screaming and not to mention my dad. No, I can’t handle them right now.” She let out a frustrated sigh. “Why can’t they see the truth? I can.”
    “They want you to be happy.”
    “I’ll be happy when they leave me alone.”
    Dale was watching them again.
    “What?” she asked, snapping out the word.
    “Nothing. I’ve got nothing at all to say.”
    “ Just tell me,” she said, expelling a breath.
    “Are you two going to remain a secret , or are you ever going to come forward with the truth that you’re seeing each other?” Dale asked.
    “Not now,” Trey said.
    “Let him talk.” June looked at Dale waiting for him to continue.
    “Both of you need to make a choice. It’s not going to be easy for you. June, you come from one of the wealthiest men around. Trey, you come from one of the bad families in town. This is not going to go well. You’re either in this together or not.”
    She didn’t want to think about the points Dale raised. He didn’t know anything about either of them. It wasn’t up to him what they did
