I’m not sure if Adrian is going through my phone, so I couldn’t take any risks.
Waiting for the shadow to make contact is a whole new concept of nerve-wracking. I’ve been watching my surroundings for the past half an hour like a junkie searching for her next fix. I forced myself to remain still so I wouldn’t alert the guards. They’re neither Kolya nor Yan, but they’re Adrian’s men all the same. They’re alert and won’t hesitate to inform their boss if they notice something sketchy.
My phone vibrates in my purse.
My heart thunders as I retrieve it. Adrian. Although I should feel disappointed that it’s not the shadow, my pulse skyrockets even more.
I wish there was a way to stop myself from having this reaction whenever Adrian is involved. I wish I wasn’t lusting after a married man.
Fuck.
It’s not only lust. It’s something more, and that’s what brought tears to my eyes this morning in the shower.
It doesn’t matter, though. He’s not mine and never will be. That’s why I need to leave.
He doesn’t call me usually—but then again,usuallyhe has me under his watch at home.
Clearing my throat, I answer, “Hey.”
“Are you and Jeremy having fun?” His calm, sophisticated voice comes through. I can imagine him sitting behind his desk and tapping his finger on the table.
“Yeah.” I glance at Jeremy, who’s now preoccupied with watching an army of ants disappearing behind the bench.
“It’s cold.”
“We wore coats, scarves, and gloves. You made sure of it, remember?”
“I do.”
“We’re fine, Adrian. We really are.”
“I like that.” His voice drops in range.
“You like what?”
“You two being fine.”
You mean Lia and Jeremy.But I don’t say that, choosing to remain silent.
“Have a date with me tonight.”
“A d-date?”
“Yes. It’s when two people have one-on-one time together.”
“I know what a date is. I’m just not sure why you want it.”
“You’re already having a date with Jeremy. Why not with me?”
“Are you jealous of your own son?”
“Sometimes. What do you say?”
“About what?”
“The date.”
“Do I even get to refuse?”
