The conversation beside us ceased.
A shiver washed over me, goosebumps popping up along my skin.
“Love it when you say my name.”
Van bit his lip, and his head fell back like he was trying to hold on to his control. I knew mine was short-circuiting.
He withdrew his hand from mine and sat back, crossing his arms.
“Let’s leave this conversation for later. We should get back to the hotel.”
“Finally, something we agree on,” I replied, giving him a filthy grin.
Van chuckled.
“To get ready for tomorrow. You need to rest your voice, and I need to get back to work on the set schedule. I’m still worried about the tech issues. If we lose power, we’re screwed.”
“We’ll be fine, no matter what happens. But I guess you’re right. I need to get my beauty sleep. I want to be in tip-top shape for my ‘date’ tomorrow night.”
Van’s jaw clenched as he flagged down our server and paid the bill.
“Fake date,” he responded.
“That’s right. Remember that. Maybe I can pawn him off on Holls or Ronin.”
“Unfortunately, not.”
“We’ll see.”
My mind began to spin with ideas about what to do. I was tempted to call Greg like I’d threatened, but I didn’t want there to be any backlash on Van. And that’s where it landed. I was a hothead sometimes (okay, a lot of times), but now I had someone else to consider.
Whoa. That was a mindfuck. Considering someone else?
For now, I’d go along with the date request. It was, after all, for show. And showbiz was my biz. But I was determined that this was not gonna cause a setback for me and Van.
Today wasn’t an anomaly, and I wasn’t taking a step back.
There was only up from here.
CHAPTER15
VAN
OCTOBER 31
My phone started ringing and pinging at six a.m. and didn’t let up.
I was used to the concert day chaos, but I was normally better rested.
And therefore, in a better mood.
But it had taken me forever to fall asleep last night.
No surprise why.
Brodie had blown my mind, teased my cock, and jumpstarted my heart.
Fuck, my heart was racing like a marathon runner ever since he touched me in that club, and it had yet to slow down.
