“What?”
“My mic. I think it got lost in the water with my top.”
“Mine is still on,” he whispers back. “We get to take them off in the room anyway.” He’s right. The only reason they allow us to remove them in the tent is because there are cameras mounted everywhere in there. The only spot there isn’t one is a small changing area behind a screen. Leo pulls the tent door open, quickly shutting it behind us.
“You can lock them out, but it doesn’t change anything.” My eyes flick around the room to where the cameras are mounted. He slowly puts me down on my feet, making sure my chest stays covered and out of view. I don’t think it matters much, to be honest. I’m sure the network would blur it out if something was showing. Nonetheless, I find it sweet that he’s protecting me.
“Why don’t you get out of those wet clothes?” Leo pulls his mic out from behind him, clicking it off. Now his eyes drift around the room, assessing the cameras. It’s almost as if he’s sizing them up. He is the tech guy, after all. I’m sure if he really wanted to, he could disable them in no time at all.
When I head over toward my luggage, I somehow misstep. One second I feel my knees begin to buckle, and the next Leo’s arms snap out, catching me before I can fall. The towel isn’t as lucky. “Those drinks were stronger than I thought,” Leo grunts, one of his hands now full of my breast.
“Sorry.” He apologizes but doesn’t move his hand.
“It’s fine. They’ll blur it out.” I’m not really that worried about it. It is what it is at this point.
“Doesn't mean whoever is on the other side won’t get to see your tits while they blur them out.” Leo’s clean-shaven jaw flexes in irritation.
“You remind me of Storm,” I laugh.
“The cock-hating cat?”
“You remembered?” I smile up at him. He really has been listening to everything I’ve been saying.
“As hard as it is to think with your breast in my hand, yeah, I remember.” Are tech guys supposed to be this handsome?
“You know—” I turn my head. Leo knows what I want. He leans down so I can whisper into his ear. “No one has ever held my boob before.” I burst into a fit of giggles. Yeah, I’m really feeling the alcohol now. I don’t think sober me would have said that, but Leo has me doing and thinking about things I never have before I had one drink. The alcohol is only helping me to do and say what I really want to.
“Fuck, don’t tell me that. I can’t handle that kind of information.” He kisses the shell of my ear. “Over to the screen.” He guides me over to the safe zone. Well, at least from being seen. I’m sure they can hear us for the most part. “I’ll get you something from your bag.” He releases his hold on me. His gaze lingers for a second. I don’t try to cover myself. “There are going to be problems if they try to switch up the room situation.” That perfectly chiseled jaw of his tenses again.
Leo steps back, leaving me behind the screen to go in search of dry clothes for me. I hadn’t thought about that. I know the rooms are safe. We’re under twenty-four-hour surveillance, and there are two beds. Ones that are very close to one another.
I think I hate the idea of him being in another room with one of the other girls more than me getting stuck with Ryan or Mark. That would be annoying. I could deal with annoying, but I’m not sure how my jealousy would hold up with Leo shacking up with the likes of Penelope. I see the way she stares at him. I need to get better at hiding my emotions. I’d bet anything if the crew catches on to it, they’ll exploit it.
“What do you want out of here?”
“Anything. Laura packed my bag. I don’t know half the crap she put in there.”
“Your father’s pretty-much wife?”
“Yeah.”
“She has good taste.” I poke my head from behind the screen to see Leo holding up a pair of purple lacy panties.
“That’s not mine,” I blurt out.
“It’s in your bag.” I can tell he’s fighting a laugh.
“I mean that’s her doing.”
“I’ll have to thank her.” Leo pulls the tag off the panties.
“If you live. My brother and dad are going to see you playing with my panties.”
“Is that worse to your father than them being his woman’s panties?” I snort a laugh. He walks across the room to his bag and grabs a pair of shorts and a shirt.
“Hey, I need more than panties.”
“I got you more than panties.” He steps behind the screen. I stand there as he puts his shirt on me before handing me the panties. I reach under the shirt and pull my wet shorts and panties down. Leo gives me the panties next. I slip them on. He turns to give me his back as he drops his own shorts. I stare at his bare ass. I’d been so focused on his thighs I missed his very nice ass.
