Her hand on my wrist wraps tighter, like she’s determined to hold me there, and her other hand grasps a handful of my shirt.
And then she breaks the kiss.
She smiles shyly in the direction of the paparazzi with their cameras and their shouted questions.
“What’s your next project, Shane?”
“Will it be a church wedding?”
“How big will the wedding be?”
“Will April Vahl be invited?”
I scowl, still off-balance from the way Ivy’s mouth hijacked my brain. “You got what you came for,” I say. “Now get out of here.”
Eventually the cluster breaks up, and it’s just us standing in front of my hotel.
“So,” she says.
“So,” I say.
“That was great!” she says, and I almost say, God, yes, that was hot as fuck, but before I can get the words out, she adds, “You’re a good co-lead. I think we were really convincing.”
Convincing.
She means the kiss.
Our acting.
Right. We just pulled off one of the more difficult parts of this act—convincing the public that we’re for real. No doubt left in anyone’s mind after that kiss.
“Oh, yeah. Definitely,” I say.
But oh God.
I want to kiss her again.
Which is absolutely, positively not going to happen. The last thing this situation needs is blurry lines and the potential for someone to get hurt or confused about the rules.
The last thing this situation needs is my hands all over her perfect ass and my cock rubbing against the V of her jeans and my mouth teasing her lips, jaw, throat, earlobes.
I’m hard again.
I grab for my phone, check in with my brother’s messages.
“I’ll take you home now,” I say. “Tuck’s there.”
She smiles. “That was fast. Sounds like a guy who loves you.”
“Or one who just wants Hanna to keep her business as much as I do.”
“Or both,” she says with a small shrug.
“He says he sent everyone who was there over here. He called a friend of his who lives in Bend and also works private security. She’ll cover you till this dies down if you want.”
“I don’t have the money for that kind of?—”
I wave her off. “It’s on me. I set this in motion. The least I can do is make sure someone has an eye on you.”
