I didn't like the way Bo was looking at Analyn. Or talking to her. I especially didn't like that Analyn had explained to him that I was her boss. I knew it was the truth. And of course, she would say that because of her concern about the world finding out our true relationship.

True relationship? I didn't know what the hell that was, but I knew I didn't want it to be that I was simply her boss.

The fastest way to get rid of Bo would be to pay him his money. I reached into my pocket, pulling out my wallet and nearly all the money I had in it. It was way more than I owed him, but I didn't care. I slapped it into Bo's hand and then shoved him out the door. "Go back to playing the game and not picking up fans."

With him out of the room, I turned to Analyn, whose brows were raised in surprise.

"If you're worried about your reputation, he's the last person you want to be seen with."

"Is that why you pushed him out of the room like that? Because you're worried about my reputation?"

There was amusement in her eyes, but I was too worked up to join in on her game. "You're the one who tells me that you're concerned about your reputation. Or is that just around me?"

Her head tilted to the side, the amusement still glinting in her eyes. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were jealous."

I took a step toward her. "What is it that you think you know better about?"

The twinkle in her eyes dissipated slightly.

"I was pretty sure we were both in agreement that there’s something between us. Just because you're trying to deny it, or are trying to ignore it, doesn't mean it's not there."

She let out a sigh. "You know I couldn't say anything different to him, right?"

I nodded, not liking the clawing feeling in my gut. The one that wanted to claim her once and for all.

"All of a sudden, the atmosphere changed between us. Maybe I should go."

Her words were like a punch to the gut. It told me that my behavior was making her uncomfortable.

"There's no reason to leave." I went to the table where I'd set her wine and picked it up, bringing it to her. "I think Bo stole one of your cookies so you might want to get another one.”

She eyed me warily.

I got my drink and went to sit down on the sofa. "Once you've got your cookie, come sit here, and I'm going to quiz you to see if you've been paying attention."

She looked at me for a moment longer and then with a smile, got another cookie and came to sit next to me. "I'm pretty sure I'm an expert now. Speaking of gambling and being an expert, isn't it against the rules for you and Bo to be making wagers?"

I shrugged. "It was just a little bet. The kid is cocky, and I decided to encourage him to put his money where his mouth was.
