Chewing her lip, Willow kept her eyes away from him. The guy had a great body, but he obviously was well aware of it, given that he wanted to show it off. Plus, those shorts were a littletootight.
“And here we are.” Jimmy held out one hand, and Willow walked into the room ahead of him, expecting it to be full of guests. Shuffling back a step or two, her eyes widened in surprise as she realized the entire room was empty. “Where is everyone?” Turning around, her breath caught at the grin spreading across Jimmy’s face. His eyes were hooded, and as he reached out for her, Willow stepped back. Her heart began to thrum wildly in her chest.
Please say I haven’t made another stupid mistake.
“I guess I must have forgotten to mention that I’d booked a private yoga session.” He came closer still and ran his fingers from her shoulder down her arm. “I hope you don’t mind.”
Blinking rapidly, Willow shook her head. “N-no, don’t worry about it. I just wasn’t expecting there to be…” Her eyes widened suddenly. “There is a yoga teacher, though, right?”
“Of course there is. Do you want to choose a mat? I’m looking forward to seeing just how flexible you are.”
No smile came to Willow’s lips this time. Instead, she found her lip curling as she turned away, understanding completely what he meant.
I’m not in this for a one-night stand or a summer fling.Her stomach dropped as she set down her camera carefully.I made a mistake in agreeing to this.
“Oh, good afternoon, Jimmy.” Much to Willow’s relief, the yoga teacher stepped out of a back room and into the main studio. “I see you have brought a friend. I thought this was to be a private yoga session. However, you are very welcome to join us.” Her smile was briefly directed toward Willow before her eyes turned back toward Jimmy.
“I did book a private session, but then I met Willow and thought she might want to join us.”
“Willow.” The yoga teacher looked back at Willow with interest. “I’m Gemma. You’re the camp photographer, right? I don’t think we’ve had a chance to meet yet.”
“Yes, I am.” Picking up a green yoga mat, Willow unrolled it carefully. “I’ve always wanted to take one of your classes.” Smiling, she stood at the end of her mat. “Although I do have my camera with me. I hope you don’t mind if I take a couple of shots.”
“That would be great! If you can try not to interrupt the flow, then that would be appreciated.”
“Sure, no problem. Thank you.”
“Then let’s begin.”
Willow took in a deep breath and tried to forget all about Jimmy and the fact that he’d sprung this surprise of aprivateyoga session on her.This is supposed to be relaxing.Closing her eyes, she followed Gemma’s instructions and went into a half fold.
“Mmmmm.”
Her eyes flew open, and she twisted her head to the side.What on earth was that?
“And then we stretch up high…” The yoga teacher’s voice was soft, gently fading away before coming back again with the next instruction. “Before coming into a forward fold.”
Another loud, languid groan came from Jimmy, and Willow closed her eyes, her chest tight. Her hair fell forward, hiding her face, which was already beginning to burn.What is he doing?
“And then we move carefully into downward facing dog.”
This time, Willow was prepared for the groan that Jimmy let out, but it didn’t stop her ears from burning.
“Is everything okay, Jimmy?” Evidently, even Gemma was concerned.
“I’m just really feeling it.” Jimmy let out a long sigh, his head still low as he stayed in downward facing dog. “This is amazing, Gemma.”
“Okay, that’s good. Just don’t push yourself too hard. Work to your level.”
And please stop making that ridiculous noise.
Gemma cleared her throat softly. “And now we’re going to go into cobra.”
Jimmy let out something like a yelp, and Willow jumped violently. Her hands slipped, making her cobra pose look more like a soggy marshmallow.
“I…I’m just going to get my camera.” Scrambling to her feet, Willow stepped away from her yoga mat. “Please keep going without me.”
Gemma’s lips were flat and her nose a little wrinkled. Jimmy was still waiting to be told what to do next, but from the pinched expression on Gemma’s face, Willow guessed that she wasn’t enjoying the theatrics. Picking up her camera, Willow focused it on Gemma rather than Jimmy.It’s not like he needs any more attention.
