The sound of Andi’s voice sends ice water through my veins. My eyes clench shut as I pray Ford can hear her coming around the corner, but the next thing I hear come from her mouth dashed my hopes.
“What in the holy fuck! This is supposed to be a place of peace!” she screeches.
Ford immediately releases my body. I tumble backward, cracking my head on the glass of the mirror. My hand flies up to touch the tender spot. Thankfully, when I glance at my hand, there’s no blood.
My eyes connect with Ford’s, and what I see isn’t what I was expecting. I don’t see regret or even an apology, but embarrassment.
This was a mistake, but I didn’t think it would embarrass him to be seen with me. Without a backward glance, he gives Andi a nod and heads directly for the exit.
Unable to articulate what I’m feeling, I let out a frustrated growl before sliding off the workstation. I should get to work cleaning up this mess. Unfortunately, it was Andi who caught us. Anyone else would have turned around and left the way they came, but not her. Andi is going to want details, but I have no desire to talk about what just happened. Shit, I don’t even know what just happened myself.
I continue to clean in silence for about five minutes before she begins with the questions. “Ivy. Darling, sweet friend of mine. You just had Ford Harmon’s tongue down your throat. Care to share what the fuck just happened?”
“I can’t explain what I don’t understand myself, Andi. I was doing his makeup, and then suddenly he was kissing me as if I was his last meal.” I place the few trays of makeup I have in my arms on the table with a sigh. “No matter what it was, I doubt it will ever happen again. Did you see how embarrassed he looked when he left?”
“Embarrassed? Have you lost your mind? That man would have eaten you for dinner if I hadn’t interrupted you two. Sorry about that, by the way. I’ll talk to my dad about getting ‘do not disturb’ signs or something for these rooms.” She winks at me before throwing her arm over my shoulder. “You have this room for another thirty minutes. Why not enjoy it? All the sex pheromones in this room are giving me ideas.”
With that, she turns on her heels and heads out the door.
As I finish cleaning up the remaining mess, I notice Ford’s discarded shirt. Against my better judgement, I bend down and pick it up, bringing it to my nose. Inhaling deeply, I’m immediately engulfed in his scent.
“Finished before it even started,” I whisper.
“Who said anything about me being finished with you?”
I spin and see Ford leaning against the doorway.
“I am far from finished with you, princess. How much time do we have left in this room?”
“About twenty minutes,” I respond without hesitation.
“That’s not nearly enough time for all the dirty things I want to do with you, but I can make it work. I just need to get creative.”
