CHAPTER 6
Reid
I was a fool… how could I have made this amazing smart woman question that she was only ever worthy of fake dating me?
Her best friend Paisley had a lot to answer for…
I know National Dare Day was her thing… her joy but something like this could be detrimental to a person and their mental health potential if it all went wrong.
Lilian Raeflower was the full package. She was everything I dreamed about wanting in a woman but since I had split with my ex-fiancée Alexandra, I’d shot myself down and refused to let anyone in making out I was the problem.
It had led to a line of women throwing themselves at me since I arrived at Starlight Bay and the whole reason behind why I had decided to agree to this pact and dare in the first place. I thought deeply about that and knew that Paisley and I needed to have a conversation about this at some point and the impact that this could have potentially had. I knew she probably hadn’t even thought about the impact and would hate to know I had hidden my secret about my past. She was one of the kindest people around and being Lilian’s best friend would never want to intentionally hurt a soul so I know this will devastate her.
The thing was she would have the two of us to guide and support her moving forward. The one truth though that had come from all this was that I had vowed that I would ensure that Lilian knew how much she meant to me even if it meant me having to deal with the not so easy parts of my past.
This woman deserved all of me—not just the shell.
She was mine and I was going to be hers. Not just for an act but in everything.
