I gestured to them. “This, right here, is my Cinderella moment. Spending time with a new friend. Going somewhere fun. Feeling like a full-fledged human and not just someone’s housekeeper for a day. I don’t care what you have planned for me, Zach. You threw an engagement party on my birthday. I work ridiculous hours for you. I’m allowed to have this.”
His eyes ran in their sockets, drinking my face in. “I don’t want you sitting in an unprotected vehicle. At least take mine.”
My shoulders sagged. Some of my anger dissipated.
I pressed a hand to his chest, met by the wild gallop of his heart, the thuds so intense they hurt my palm. “I always drive my Prius.”
“And I always have a small heart attack when you do.” He looked downright annoyed by the fact. Then, realizing what it sounded like, he added, “You’re my shot at normalcy. I’m fully invested in your life until I discard you.”
“Extremely romantic.”
“Sadly, it’s probably the most romantic thing I’ve ever said.”
“I’ll be okay.”
He grabbed my elbows, and I fought the urge to kiss him. “Promise.”
“I promise.”
He threaded his fingers into my hair, cupping my head. My breath caught in my throat when I realized he was about to kiss me.
I wanted to be kissed by him more than I wanted to survive the remainder of our contract. Which was exactly why I needed to put a stop to it.
For me, Zachary Sun would break all his rules.
But forhim, I’d break my own heart.
I turned my head at the last second.
His lips landed on my cheek, brushing a lone tear that escaped my eye.
“Have fun,” he croaked out.
“Thank you.”
“Here. Try this one. Duck jianbing.” Dallas ripped open a bag of mantecaditos, popping one into her mouth. “How were the Scottish teacakes, by the way?”
I nibbled on a biltong jerky, one of about two thousand snacks that splayed in front of us. “Oral orgasm perfection.”
We hadn’t even taken off yet, and Dallas had already sampled the majority of food Romeo stocked his private plane with. Her favorites from every country.
Evidently, she’d visited all of them.
I stared at her with a mixture of alarm and awe. How could she fit all of this food into her body?
Frankie kicked her feet on the couch across from us. I couldn’t take my eyes off Dallas’ younger sister.
She was the kind of beautiful that defied both nature and logic. With feline green eyes, pouty lips, and lush brown locks that cascaded all the way to her butt.
“Don’t look at my sister that way.” Frankie’s eyes narrowed. “She’s eating for two.”
I slanted my head to one side. “Sumo wrestlers?”
She burst into laughter.
Dallas leaned over to swat her arm. “I told you she was fun.”
“You also told me she can kill me with a toothpick.” Frankie fanned herself, wriggling her brows. “Is this true?”
