Judging by their clothing, the sad-faced girland the canoodling pair were guests of the bride and groom. She didn't recognise them, so sheguessed they were on Kane Summers' guest list, and not on her best friend Jasmine Allen-Summers'.She sighed as she made her way back to the grand ballroom after a quick trip to the ladies'. Thiswedding—and the lead-up to it—elicited something in her, too. Lately, to her discomfort, her libidohad been very much awake.Ever since she and her cousin Samantha Lane arrived from Melbourne a few days ago to fulfiltheir bridesmaid duties, she'd been constantly in the presence of two loved-up couples. Since she andSam were staying at Kane and Jasmine's place while in Sydney, she'd been witness to the newlyweds'desire for each other, even though the pair tried their best to keep their passion private. Then therewere Ari Mitchell, their other best friend, and her boyfriend Dylan Summers, Kane's brother. Thosetwo seemed to be in competition with Kane and Jasmine for the titleSizzling Couple of the Year.Add to that mix the fact that she'd had a long sex drought of eleven and a half months. It was nowonder she'd been craving a warm, masculine body to alleviate some tension.She glanced at the amorous couple again, and her eyes widened in disbelief. The PG-rated kiss ofa few seconds ago had now become an R. She let out an incredulous laugh, surprised at the audacityof the guy to visibly fondle his girlfriend's breast in full view of anyone who passed by. Fortunately,most of the wedding guests were inside enjoying some dancing. Honestly, they should get a room!She placed her palm on the heavy door of the ballroom and pushed, only to misstep and stumblewhen she saw who was on the other side of it."Oops. I'm sorry," a deep masculine voice said as he grabbed her arms to stop her from falling flaton her face.She grinned. "It's not your fault. I was just surprised it's you."The hunk with incredible grey eyes and dark brown hair lifted his eyebrows at her questioningly."Don't mind me," she said with a shake of her head. "I just happened to be talking about you withAri a few minutes ago. Your name's Trey, right? I'm Kris McCann.""Hi, Kris. Yes, I'm Trey—Trey Andrews." The gorgeous one gave her a curious look as he shookthe hand she offered him. "But of course, I already know your name. Hard to miss when you're one ofthe stunning bridesmaids."She smiled at the compliment."So, why were you and Ari talking about me?" Trey asked."Oh, it was nothing important," she said with a laugh. "Besides, I really shouldn't tell you.""Now, Kris. You can't just leave it like that. You can't incite my interest then leave me hanging,"Trey said lightly.She pursed her lips. "Considering I agreed with Ari's suggestion, there's really not much pointdiscussing it with you.""Now I'm even more intrigued," Trey said with a wide, engaging smile.She sighed—well, it was really more like a swoon. Trey really was gorgeous. Should she tell himthat she had asked Ari to introduce them to each other for the possibility of some casual sex? Ari wasclearly against the idea, warning her of Trey's reputation as a playboy. Since it had been Dylan who'dtold Ari that, and Dylan was Trey's best friend, she had no reason to doubt the accuracy of thatstatement.Not that she cared about Trey being a playboy. Crude as it might sound, all she wanted was to getlaid and Trey happened to catch her eye. But Ari had been concerned about possible complications.To put her friend at ease, Kris had agreed that it would be better if she considered someone else whowas a complete stranger to all of them."I can see the wheels turning in that beautiful head of yours," Trey teased flirtatiously. "Come on,tell me."She bit her lip to hide her smile as she stared at him, contemplating her next words. "My cousinSamantha and I are here in Sydney for three weeks to house-sit for Jasmine and Kane while they're ontheir honeymoon. I said to Ari that I wanted to make the most of it. One thing I wanted to do was tomeet someone for some casual sex while I'm here. Not that it's something I do a lot of, but it's been awhile, and I'm…you know," she said with a shrug.Trey's eyes opened wide in surprise. She must have shocked him with her candidness. The truthwas, sometimes her brain-to-mouth filter failed to work. The fact that she already had a bit of alcoholin her made it worse."Sooo," Trey said with a suppressed smile. "How did I end up being in the conversation?"She lifted her shoulders. "Since it's a moot point, let's not talk about it.""Why is it a moot point?""Because it won't be with you!" she laughed.Trey's eyes sparkled with interest. "So you considered me?""Considered you and scratched you out," she confirmed flippantly."Why? What's wrong with me?" he asked with mock indignation."Nothing much that I can see," she admitted, casting an admiring glance at his form. She bet therewas a great body hiding underneath that expensive suit.Trey's smile widened, making her want to swoon again.Damn it, Ari. Why did I listen to you?"So why did you scratch me out?" he asked."Ari didn't think it was a good idea. Too complicated."Trey laughed out loud. "That, coming from someone who propositioned her friend's brother-in-law for a one-night stand."She joined him in laughter. "I know. But I think that's why she's worried. She thinks I might fall foryou like she did with Dylan.""Oh. Are you looking for a boyfriend? If so, she's right to warn you off me. I'm allergic torelationships," Trey said with a teasing smile, but his eyes betrayed his seriousness."No, I'm not looking for a boyfriend. I'm looking to get laid. But to avoid any unexpectedconsequences, I've agreed to look elsewhere.""Are you always this frank?" Trey asked, astounded.She sighed. "Unfortunately. Mind you, I am a little bit worse tonight because of the alcohol.""But you're not completely drunk?""Do I look completely drunk?""Not completely. Just a tiny little bit. Which means the alcohol wasn't affecting your judgmentwhen you thought of me as a potential playmate," Trey said, giving her a suggestive wink.She chuckled. "I'm sure you already know you're one hot guy, Trey. But you know what? I agreewith Ari. Better not go where we might not like the consequences. What if I fell for you withoutmeaning to? We wouldn't want that now, would we?" she asked jokingly.
