Whatever the case, the next thing I knew, I was blurting out my secret.
I thought for sure it would’ve taken me another week.
“Now that you’re done drooling on me, let’s go over the plan for our arrival. Regan is going to?—”
I held my hand up.
“Wait. I need caffeine and carbs before any serious conversation can take place.”
“Sorry, I forgot how testy you are first thing in the morning.”
“I’m not testy,” I groused, then sighed when I heard his snort of laughter. “Okay, maybe a bit until I have caffeine. And you’re one to talk.”
“I’m not always grumpy. In fact, I’m a morning person. Always have been. I love being up early.” He grinned and then sipped on his coffee.
Dawson was smiling. At me.
“Who are you right now? And who enjoys getting up early?” I grumbled.
“Do you know that you talk in your sleep?”
I shook my head. “No way.”
“Yes, way.”
The steward returned with my latte, and after thanking them, I took a grateful sip. Hot and perfectly sweet, I let out a porn-worthy groan and noticed Dawson shifting in his seat.
“I don’t talk in my sleep,” I muttered.
“You do. It’s cute.”
Cute? Dawson was callingmecute? I’d been called a lot of things but never that. I stupidly wanted to hear more, and at the same time, I knew he was just bugging me. If I were a cat, I’d be hissing at him by now.
I didn’t like this role reversal at all. I was the teaser, not the one who got teased.
“Can we go back to talking about my stalker, please?”
“Technically, we shouldn’t be calling them a stalker yet. They’re a person of concern.”
Instead of grinding my teeth, I took another sip of coffee.
“And the plan?” I bit out.
Dawson set aside his cup of coffee and sighed. “Like I said last night, we’re getting you a new phone. Regan will have it at the hotel. I’ll monitor this one, so if there’s anything you don’t want me to see, you better delete it now. You’ll have one of the team with you at all times. And I’ve contacted the hotel we’re staying at to ensure you and I have connected rooms.”
“That’s overkill.”
“It’s already done.”
“Fuck!”
I was gonna talk to Regan about all this. Connected rooms?
“But if I’m getting a new phone as soon as we get to the hotel, I don’t need this one. As much as it irks me to have you rifling through my personal business, I have nothing to hide.”
“Let’s get one thing straight.” Dawson leaned in closer. “I’m only looking through your phone to find clues about who might be targeting you. That’s all.”
“People store everything on their phone, their whole life. How would you feel if the situation were reversed?” I bit back.
