“Come with me tomorrow,” Henry said, watching Elle slowly straighten her dress.

Her eyes were still sex-hazed from her orgasm, her body moving languorously. “The best way to keep this between us is to avoid each other.”

“You want to keep this a secret?” A weird pang pinched his chest. Most women would want this splattered all over the tabloids. But Elle seemed horrified at the idea of anyone knowing about tonight. Or even more confusing—them.

“Well, I don’t want Sarah or your parents finding out, do you? This is supposed to be about her, not us hooking up.”

“This was more than a hook-up,” he said and wanted to find a way to prove it. “Come tomorrow to corporate headquarters and let me prove it. It’s a super laid-back event. Just unveiling the cars for the new season. Some press will be there to take a few shots of Enzo and me, and my family will be there.” He walked up to her and slid his arms around her waist. She didn’t resist. In fact, she did the opposite of resist, she melted into him. “I’d love to see you there.”

“I don’t have anything to wear to something like that.” She stepped out of his arms and went back to patting down her thoroughly mussed hair. “I came prepared for cocktail attire only.”

“That can be arranged.” Henry tried to fix his tie, but his hands were still shaking from the adrenaline rush. She shoved them aside and began looping the silk material around itself.

“I don’t need you to arrange things for me. Unlike you, I can dress myself.” She finished his tie like a pro and then grabbed his sports coat off the back of the chair and handed it to him.

A folded paper fluttered to the ground. Papers he’d forgotten about and now wished he’d never brought.

They both reached for them at the same time.

“What’s this?” she asked, getting there first.

“Nothing.”

“If it’s nothing, then why does it have my name on it?”

“Elle, it doesn’t matter anymore,” he said, and shit, he was going to ruin everything.

She scanned the document, and he knew when she understood what it was. “Is this for real?” She held up the papers as if they were evidence in a murder trial. “You want me to sign an NDA?” Before he could answer that going into the night he had, but he’d changed his mind, she went on. “Is this because of what we talked about the other day? About Sarah?”

“Yeah.”

She gave a single nod, then smacked it to his chest. “So you trust me enough to fuck me, but not enough to talk to me. And here I thought we’d built a connection.”

“We have. This is just normal to me.”

“I’m not mad about the NDA. I’m mad that you screwed me first. Is this some kind of game for you?”

“God, no.”

“Then why do I feel like I’ve been played?” She turned to leave. He grabbed her arm and she stopped. “Let go.” At the quiver in her voice, he did.
