Chapter Thirteen
Cat
âAre you sure?â His eyebrows raise with skepticism.
âYes. Youâve worked too hard on this to turn back now, so go show him youâre the best damn rigger heâs ever seen.â
Evan lets out a low chuckle, and the tension dissipates between us. âYou know I love you, right?â
âYeah. I love you, too.â
âAnd you trust me?â he asks.
âYeah.â
Evan gives me a peck on the cheek before stepping away, and he takes my hand to pull me to the door.
âLetâs get this over with,â he says in a low voice. âThen afterward, you and your body will have my undivided attention.â
He winks at me with those ocean-blue eyes of his, and his promise sends a delicious shiver down my spine.
When Evan opens the door, Ben is standing in the hallway typing on his phone, and he lifts his head with an expectant look.
âIâll do it,â Evan says. âBut Catâs going to watch from the sidelines. Can I see the setup first?â
Benâs face stretches into a dazzling grin as he slips his phone into his pocket. âExcellent! Iâll have Edgar show you to the room. Cat, you can sit with me during the demonstration.â
âUh, yeah. Sure.â
âAnd can I meet the girl who will be performing?â Evan asks. âTo go over boundaries and safety beforehand.â
Edgar appears around the corner, pulling Evanâs focus away. âFollow me, Mr. Simmons. Iâll make the introduction.â
âEvan, wait.â I grab his hand as he starts to walk away.
He turns to me with a confused look on his face, thinking Iâve changed my mind.
âThereâs something I want to talk to you about,â I say in a quiet voice. âSomething important. We can talk about it after.â
âYeah, okay.â He leans in to give me another quick kiss on the forehead. âI love you.â
âI love you too.â
âKeep an eye on her, Ben, will you?â he asks over my shoulder.
âI wonât let her out of my sight.â
If you were mine, I would never let you out of my sight.
My throat bobs as I release Evanâs hand, and all I can do is watch him walk away as my heart squeezes tight in my chest. As he disappears around the corner, I realize how uncomfortable I am without him by my side.
âSo, Cat, is it?â Ben says behind me. âI didnât catch your name at the pool.â
Folding my arms, I turn to face him with a quirked eyebrow. âSo, you did recognize me. Why did you pretend you didnât?â
He shrugs with nonchalance, but his expression is piercing and intense.
âEvan is very possessive of you. I didnât want him to get the wrong idea.â
âThe wrong idea? Whatâs that supposed to mean?â
Drawing my gaze to his mouth, Benâs full, pouty lips start to curl, like heâs in on some big secret and Iâm not.
âWould you like more champagne?â he asks, and I remember he provided champagne for us in the limo.
Some alcohol might help me endure this stupid party.
âIâd prefer something stronger if you have it,â I say as I put my mask back on.
He laughs that alluring laugh again, and I canât tell if I should be charmed or uneasy by it.
