Chapter 53 An Erection

• Javier stared at Natalie as if she had grown two horns on her head. He couldn’t believe she had fooled his mother into thinking she was pregnant. He suddenly burst into laughter—it was even racking him up because he had never been so intimate with her.
• Natalie stared at him with furrowed eyebrows, wondering what was so funny about what she had said. Javier was shaking his shoulders violently, laughing so hard that Natalie got lost staring at his handsome features. For a moment, she forgot her irritation, momentarily disarmed by the rare, unguarded sight of him—his usually stern face alight with boyish amusement.
• “Why are you laughing?” she demanded, planting her hands on her hips, her voice edged with defiance.
