Chapter Seven

Bryar had Sawyer park down the road from her place to let her out—there was no sense having the aunts get all panicked. Not that she hadn’t had guys drop her off before, but she was already gone for hours with the job and the last thing she wanted was for them to catch a glimpse at Sawyer. They’d have questions, and she wouldn’t want to answer, and then they’d fight, and she was still feeling tingly and good after their encounter in the kitchen. No sense in ruining the post-coital bliss.

So she walked down the dark road swiftly before the chill could get her, resisting the urge to look back as his taillights cut over the gravel and the sound of the engine faded.

Jesus, was all of this really happening?

She wasn’t star-struck. Far from it—she frequently had to remind herself that he was famous and stuff. She just liked him. Really, really liked him—found him warm and sweet and sexy as hell. Of course, he had a troubled past. She hadn’t asked him about that girl, the one from the articles. The scandal he was supposedly hiding from. He’d been in the business since he was a young teen—he likely knew how to lie, how to put on another persona. Which he could very well be doing with her.

But why? Why bother? That was what stopped her from doubting him too much—it just made no sense.

She shoved thoughts of it from her mind and turned onto the long stone path that wove through the now-dead front garden to the cottage. The porch light was on. She’d missed dinner, hadn’t called. She’d be in for a lecture but she couldn’t fight the grin on her face. No way was she letting anything darken her mood.

Surprisingly her aunts said nothing about her being late, just kept supper warm and waiting for her, and managed to talk about nothing important until they retired for bed.
