And it’s gorgeous.

Not that any of his other smiles weren’t hot.

But this one is real.

He’s impressed with me. Probably more than he would have been if I’d flirted back or taken him up on his offer.

“Do I at least get a name?”

I offer my hand. “Asia. And I probably won't be calling you.”

“Hansley.” He takes my fingers in his strong grip. “And that’s probably for the best.”

Hansley

A yawn spills from Tierra’s lips as I open the car door for her.

I shake my head. “This drive is gonna be a long one. Might want to save that for later when I’m waxing on about how amazing I am.”

“How amazing are you?”

“Very.” I smirk.

“That was a short discussion.”

“That was only the summary.”

She rolls her eyes. “Your ego’s pretty inflated for someone who just got shot down.”

“It’s not bragging if it’s the truth.” I wink at her. “And getting turned down only strengthens the ego.”

She laughs.

I climb into the car.

Tierra yawns again. “Sorry.” A fist to her plump mouth muffles the word. “I’m exhausted.”

“Long day?”

“Sort of.” Her lips curl up in a sly smile.

I call her out on it. “I’m guessing Brett gave you something to remember him by.”

“He didn’t let me sleep last night.”

I pretend to grimace. “Too much information, T.”

“Then it’s my turn to put you in the hot seat.” Her dark eyes fix on me. I can feel it even though I’m not looking at her. Tierra has an intensity that strips a person from their soul. “Who was she?”

“Who?”

“Asia.”

I tighten my fingers on the wheel. “A disgruntled client.”

“Stop playing, Hans.”
