I did not need to see an unsolicited picture of some guy’s dick.
“Fine,” Hannah said. She looked at me. “And… damn…”
“Damn? What doesdamnmean?” I asked.
“You look hot,” she said. “White shoes. Jeans. A flannel. It’s sexy and messy all at once. Just…damn…”
I wanted to feel comfortable, and I did.
Sexy wasn’t on my mind.
Neither wasdamn.
Atlas texted me a reminder that our date was coming up soon.
As if I didn’t know and hadn’t been thinking about it obsessively.
A private carpicked me up just before seven and drove me to the headquarters for theSola Empire.
Outside the building waited both Ellen and Atlas.
When I stepped out of the car and saw Atlas, I felt some sense of relief.
He was completely dressed down.
Jeans and a t-shirt.
I purposely acted as though I forgot something in the car so I could turn around and let out a slow breath. I bit my top lip, then my bottom lip, and then licked my lips because I was quite sure I had never seen someone look the way Atlas did.
He looked dangerous.
Mean. Dangerous.
And sexy.
Hannah was right about mythingfor tall guys.
But a guy like Atlas?
I would never be caught dead with someone like him.
Except here I was, turning back around and walking toward him.
Ellen clapped her hands together. “I’m so happy this is happening. Let’s all get together and take a few pictures and then you’re off.”
“How do you know I won’t just let Hazel off at her house and call it a night?” Atlas asked.
His voice was bold and serious.
I almost -keyword, almost- felt let down for a second when he said that.
“Well, if I’m being honest,” Ellen said, “after we take these pictures, nothing really matters to me anymore. You two can do what you want. I just think this has been a great success and would love to see it all the way through.”
“I better get dinner out of this,” I said to Atlas.
“Dinner we can do,” he said.
I thought maybe he winked at me but I wasn’t sure.
