I didn’t want to read anymore, so I closed my eyes and cringed. Tommy could never see this article, and Danielle could never find out that the only possible suspect this article was referring to was her father.
That explains the feeling of being watched.So, it was a pap all along?
“Is there a problem?” Tommy asked and I finally turned to see him watching me. He had a glass in one hand, and I realized it was water in it when I looked down. He was still sweaty from his training session earlier, and he looked too sexy to ignore.
I walked to him, rubbed my forehead, and blurted out the words on my mind. “Can you put on a shirt? Like a proper one? I mean seeing you like this just makes me forget everything I want to say.”’
“Really?” The teasing smile on his face made me chuckle, and I rolled my eyes before he set the glass on the table, then walked over to me. “Come on, tell me …That was Danny on the phone. Did something happen?”
“Yes.” A huge sigh left my lips, and I swallowed hard before adding. “Danny’s coming back to Lakewood, but that’s the least of our problems.”
“What’s on top of the chart?”
“Well, some paps might have written an article about us.”
His eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. “Might have?”
“They did,” I corrected with a nod.
“What the heck, Leah? Did they or did they not?”
“Calm down. Don’t fret,” I said at the top of my voice to get him to relax. I didn’t realize my hands were on his arm till I glanced down and noticed my fingers curling around his toned muscles.
I quickly pulled back, then tucked my hands behind me. “The deal is ... There’s a producer I need to meet with tonight and Danny, or rather the article might have led him and everyone else in my world to believe that I have a boyfriend.”
Tommy kept staring at me like didn’t get what I was trying to say. He arched a brow, then cocked his head to one side and asked. “So, what?”
“So, I kind of need you to act like my boyfriend for tonight.” I blew air out of my lips after saying the words, then shut my eyes tight, and waited to hear his outburst or reply.
When nothing came, I opened my eyes again and peered at him. “So?”
He turned away from me and headed towards the back door again. I followed without pausing, matched his strides, and nearly bumped into him when he spun around suddenly and startled me.
A yelp tore out of my lips, but he caught me by the arm and shook his head. “We agreed to stay away from each other.” His voice was dangerously low when he spoke like that, and I felt the twist of heat in my gut.
This man made me feel tingles like no one ever had.does he even know what he did to me?
“Yes, we did, but …”
“Spending more time together will only lead to a disaster.” As he said the words, he backed me further into the kitchen and towards a corner. I only stopped walking when my back pressed against the wall, and he put a hand above my head to trap me in.
“Tommy … It’s only one night and …”
“I crave you overnight,” he interrupted in the same silky baritone that made my blood pump through my veins. “One night as your date is a terrible idea, and you know it. We barely keep our hands off each other as it stands.”
I swallowed hard, then waited for the mind-numbing flush of pleasure racing through me to pass. “I … Uh ….”
His lips were so close to mine now, and I couldn’t even breathe right. His fingers touched my lower lip, then grazed a path down to my chin. He tipped my head up and made me look into his eyes.
“I’m fighting it, Leah … Tell me you’re fighting this too.”
I am.I couldn’t find the words or say them to him. His touch and his scent worked together to paralyze me. When he brushed bus lips over mine, I was too stunned to speak, and I knew he would be the end of me as he carried me to the center table.
He was sexier whenever he lifted me off the ground like I weighed nothing.
Tommy swept everything there to the ground in one go, then placed me to sit before parting my thighs and nestling himself there to take our kiss to the next level.
