Movement caught Sophie’s eye. Or to be more exact, broad shoulders, a blond head, and a swagger that was criminal. Their eyes met and she couldn’t look away.
“Hi…guys,” she said, hoping Honor got the gist about who had approached behind her.
Her friend pursed her lips and gave a quick little nod before she twisted and stood beside Sophie.
The smiles on Zane’s, Bryce’s, and Danny’s faces were very disconcerting. They could not be any more handsome. Behind them trailed a lot of the team who had worked on the film.
“Hi.” Zane took her hand and rubbed his thumb across her knuckles. “Sophie, thanks again for a fantastic night. A bunch of us are headed out to celebrate, and we’d love you ladies to join us.”
“I wish we could, but we’ve got to stay and make sure everything gets cleaned up,” she said.
The sparkle in Zane’s eyes flickered a little less. He didn’t think he’d be turned down. “How about we stay and help? Then we can all go.”
She wanted to do a happy dance at his consideration. He wanted her with him tonight.
“Don’t be silly. This is your night. You need to whoop it up with your crew and friends starting right now.” She meant it. He should be out having a great time.
Some of the guys behind him got restless and called out “Let’s go,” and “Hurry up.” Danny bumped his shoulder. “The guy from theL.A. Timesis waiting, too. Come on.”
“Go,” she said, slipping her hand back.
“I’ll see you tomorrow?” he asked.
“For sure.” Sophie peered up at his face with what she hoped was a flirtatious look. She really wasn’t sure how to do one, but every inch of her pulsed. That had to give off some sort of vibe, right?
He backed away with the corners of his mouth lifted in that devastating style of his.
“Sophie?” one of the tech guys called.
It took a great deal of force, but she turned. “Yes?”
Somehow she managed to answer a couple of questions and not sound like a girl mooning over a boy. Thank goodness.
“I’ll go help with the chairs,” Honor said.
Which left Sophie with the bonfire. Tiny flames crackled in the large concrete pit and she put her hands over the dancing fire to warm them up for a minute.
“Incoming.”
Sophie spun around at the sound of Zane’s voice.
“Didn’t want to scare you,” he said, stalking toward her.
“What are you—”
His hands cupped her face and his mouth landed on hers and he kissed her until she had no idea what day of the week it was. Or what month.
“Is that your way of saying thank you?” she asked when he ended the kiss.
He trapped her in his arms, and she melted right into him. Hook. Line. Sinker. “Only where you’re concerned. But I’m not kissing you just to say thanks.”
“You’re not?”
“No. I’m kissing you because you’re something else, Sophie Birch, and every moment with you is perfect.”
Her heart fluttered.
“And I want to erase every other kiss from your mind so mine are the only ones you remember. So when you crawl into bed tonight, you’ll be thinking about me as much as I’ll be thinking about you.”
