“Unfortunately, no.”
It wasn’t a complete lie. But getting laid was not at the top of my mind on this trip.
All my attention was on the blond musician sitting at the other end of the table. I looked over to find Iain giving me the stink eye again.
What was it now?
Without thinking, I placed my napkin on the table and stood up. “Excuse me, Didier.”
Glancing at Lennie, I made the gesture to switch places. I rounded the end of the table and made my way to the other end, sitting opposite Iain.
“What’s wrong?” I whispered.
“Nothing. I’m finally enjoying myself now that I’m not being suffocated by you,” he replied, refusing to make eye contact.
Iain reminded me of a beautiful, temperamental cat. He was all hisses and bites, but I never let that stop me.
A lock of his long hair slid over his cheek, and I forced myself not to lean over to brush it back behind his ear. I could imagine his reaction to that. He’d probably bite my finger off…
“What is it?” I asked again.
Finally, Iain sighed and looked at me. “I’m getting a headache. I want to go back to the hotel.”
“All you have to do is say,” I replied and turned to Van. “We’re gonna head out; Iain needs to rest.”
“Tonight’s on me,” Van replied and motioned for the server.
“Oh no, dinner is on me,” Didier announced as he stood up and held up a hand. “I insist. You are my guests, and it was a pleasure to host you this evening.”
“But—” Brodie started.
“But,” Didier interrupted. “You are welcome to leave a tip for my hard-working staff. They will appreciate it.”
“That we can definitely do,” Van replied with a smile.
Didier said goodnight to everyone but stopped when he got to me. He handed me his business card.
“If you find yourself in need of a tour guide while you’re in town, give me a call.”
“I, uh, thanks,” I replied and pocketed his card. What could I do? If I didn’t take it, I’d only make the guy feel bad.
Iain abruptly stood up, the table rattling.
Didier glanced at Iain, then turned back to me. “You’re welcome.”
CHAPTER 10
IAIN
Icouldn’t wait until this day was over.
First, that fuck-up of an interview, and now this? Like I needed to watch some hot French dude come on to Dawson?
And the fact that Dawson took his goddamn card?
So, my hookups had to endure the third degree while he’s free to fuck whoever, whenever?
And would he? Was he attracted to Didier? And why the hell did I give a shit?
