Takers

I don't date or do relationships. Love just isn't my thing. But sex? Oh, I'm so into sex, I named my hugely successful podcast Intosexual. Get it? One man I never expected to be a listener is gorgeous billionaire CEO, Bremmer Palmer. The guy who never cracks a smile, is super uptight, and gives off total control freak alpha boss vibes. But he's also the guy who doesn't flinch when I ask him to join me at a tantric workshop. Or from jumping on board my crazy suggestion we start fake dating. He needs to improve his corporate image to please his board—how 1950s, right?—and I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about dating. Purely for research purposes, of course. A couple of short weeks fooling the media with a few public dates turns into a few months. Before you know it, we've been fake dating for over a year. Except, things don't feel so fake anymore. The dates aren't for show anymore. And the sex? Nothing fake there, either. It leaves me feeling the last thing I ever wanted. Like I want this. Like I want more. Like I want him. Too bad I've screwed up any chance of that happening. Once Bremmer finds out the secret I've been keeping from him, this whole fake relationship will be over. For real.
