“Yeah, you know me. These private events aren’t really my thing. I’m good with faces, but names, not so much. And I hate making small talk with the who’s who of whatever city we’re in. High rollers are usually so full of themselves.”
“Yeah, not like rockstars,” I quipped.
Brodie gave me his favorite finger.
Some things never change.
“What about after? The club? Do I have to go?”
I paused, completely surprised at his question.
Brodie loved to party and hang out with his band brothers. And he was never short of male attention when they went out. Plus, he had a day off tomorrow to recuperate from whatever shenanigans he got up to tonight.
I had the electronic NDAs loaded in my phone and ready to go.
Even though the thought of having to deal with whoever caught Brodie’s eye tonight made me ridiculously pissed off. So much so that the grip on my phone was near painful.
I usually avoided the party circuit, leaving that to their PR person. I was a shit dancer, and club music was not my jam to start with. And I tried to avoid any place where Brodie would hook up.
But now that I thought about it, he seemed to be doing that less and less…
“You don’t have to, but it’s the perfect time to blow off some steam since you have all day tomorrow to rest.”
“I don’t care about clubbing anymore. Or that whole scene.”
Was Brodie seeing someone? Was that why he didn’t want to go out and get laid like the rest of the guys?
“Have you… are you…”
Fuck, I was tongue-tied.
“What?” he asked, staring at me.
“Are you seeing someone? Is that why you don’t wanna go out?”
My question was met by silence and a glare I knew all too well.
“Are you kidding me?” he snapped.
I shrugged. “No. You’re acting out of character. I just assumed—”
“Don’t assume,” he bit out. “Have you heard me talk about anyone? Have I brought anyone around to meet the guys?”
“No but—”
“If I were seeing someone, you’d damn well know!” he snarled.
“Okay, all right. I’m sorry I mentioned it.”
I wasn’t. I was unreasonably happy about Brodie’s proclamation.
“Since you did, there is someone I want.” Brodie leaned into me so close I could see the specks of dark green in his gold eyes.
The fire was still there, but it wasn’t anger.
I began to sweat in earnest despite the air conditioning.
“Unfortunately, I don’t know how he feels about me. He probably thinks I’m just trying to get into his pants, and given my reputation, that’s fair. Still, I don’t want anyone else. Haven’t for a long time. But I can’t seem to get through to him. And not getting what I want is making me edgy,” he paused and bit his lip. “Don’t make presumptions, all right? And you can take that NDA and shove it up your—”
