He took in her mussed hair, her kiss swollen lips, the brightness in her eyes.
“Fuckin’ perfect,” he muttered. He lifted his chin at her. “Get out of here before I force you to run away with me.”
She snickered and backed into the loft and closed the door.
Yeah, he needed to talk to her about a lot of things.
Probably sooner rather than later.
CHAPTERTWENTY-TWO
I CAN’T BE MYSELF
SABINE
After the best date of Sabine’s life, Zara came back to town.
And she basically set up shop in the studio.
As such, Dave had started working round the clock.
Sabine wasn’t exactly sure what they were all working on. She was going to ask. Just as soon as she could see him again.
Okay, it wasn’t like they hadn’t spoken at all.
He had texted her a few times. And they had smallish conversations at the studio. But she wasn’t comfortable asking him about all the things she didn’t know in front of his colleagues and coworkers.
How inappropriate would that be?
And then there were the nights he snuck into her bed without her knowing.
He’d done it two more times that week.
And of course she didn’t have time to wake him up and talk to him before having to leave for work.
At least that’s what she told herself as she pressed a featherlight kiss to his temple before hurrying out the door.
Here was the truth.
She loved waking up to him in her bed.
He was soft and snuggly, and he smelled like fresh air and expensive aftershave.
And she was dangerously close to falling in love with a guy who may have zero intention of handling her with care.
And by dangerously close, she meant, probably, definitely was in fact in love with him but unwilling to have the final thought pass completely through her brain and/or say it out loud.
Except for the one time she’d said it to Zara Lorna.
But not since then!
But it was there; a consistent pressure in the back of her mind. Reminding her steadily that she had not-casual feelings for him.
In fact, she had very large, wanted-to-kiss-him-and-do-other-things-with-him feelings.
So on Friday, when she had to work her shift at Geekeasy, she was only somewhat surprised when the VIP Lounge was occupied with Sunshine Capone, Max, Leslie…and Zara Lorna.
And Zara Lorna’s entourage. Which appeared to be two models and two more bodyguards.
