“Which one?”
She crossed her arms over her chest and shrugged.
“Come on, Mulberry. Are you mad at me?”
More like she was annoyed by him.
After giving her the best orgasm of her life, he gave her the cold shoulder again.
She blushed, remembering how her entire body vibrated at the pressure of his tongue, his firm press of fingers into her thigh, and his soft but demanding tone.
The next day he holed up in his secret room with Erik and didn’t touch her, hardly looking at her.
His ability to be hot one moment and cold the next grated on her nerves.
“Nope, not mad.”
“Good. Tell me what shirt to wear. Please.”
He spat out the word as if it was painful, and she couldn’t ignore his cry.
She crossed the room, flipped through his shirts, brushed his arm and electricity charged through her.
It was a constant between them, this charge, ready to set off and explode.
“Go with the blue, not that pastel lavender. And not that black suit.”
She riffled through his hanging suits until she found a charcoal grey suit with a blue pinstripe. “This.”
“Thank you” the heat in his eyes scorched her, and for a moment, she thought he was going to kiss her. “Got to change and do something with my hair. You ready?”
“Need my bag,” Mulberry said, passing him.
Not the time, she told herself.
Even though she knew that she’d hoped for a slight kiss, a quick hug to feel his hand on the back of her neck.
But Nick, she was learning, wasn’t one for spontaneous intimacy.
Yesterday they had lunch with Henri.
When they were leaving the restaurant, Henri causally told Nick, “I have a TV Interview with Tech Insider tomorrow morning. I’d like you to be on set.”
She knew it bothered Nick, but he simply nodded and said, “Okay.”
Being with Nick’s family made it feel real, this fake dating thing they were doing.
As real as those mind-bending orgasms he had given her.
“Okay, let’s go.”
The man was so beautiful and totally clueless about his attractiveness, which added to his allure.
His hair was slicked back, and the suit must have been custom-made because it fit him perfectly over his muscular build.
Mulberry licked her lips. “Yeah. You’ll do.”
Nick smiled. “Thanks.”
