Chapter Nine

Who knew two weeks, or a fortnight, as Sonja called it, could go by so quickly and yet so slowly.

Corbin relaxed back in his seat, threaded his fingers behind his head and stared with blank melancholy out his office window. Two weeks of breakfast with Sonja every morning, each meal at a different café in a different suburb all over Sydney, each café stimulating a different topic of discussion.

Two weeks of afternoons spent at his laptop, intensifying the sexual tension between the Chris Huntley hero of Dead Even 2 and his duplicitous heroine. Sexual tension he was becoming more and more familiar with, given he was growing more and more…attracted to Sonja Stone.

Two weeks of evenings spent Skyping with Levi, where they discussed little, their every word weighted with unspoken want as they avoided any topic but the most neutral.

A fast fortnight of laughter, good food, stimulating conversation and stimulating glimpses of Sonja’s boobs. Who would have thought two full curves of flesh could cause such a stirring sensation in his groin? A dragging fortnight of yearning for Levi to come home. To hold him, undress him. Kiss him. Make love to him. Love him. Talk to him.

Christ, he wanted Levi to talk to him.

To open up and tell him how he was feeling. They’d rediscovered each other sexually—in the two days between Corbin finding Levi and Sonja together in the karaoke bar and Levi flying to Seattle they’d fucked more than Corbin believed possible—but sex didn’t a healthy relationship make. Not without communication beyond the mutual agreement of a safe word. The closest they’d come to being with each other again like they had before Isabella’s death was the date night with Sonja at Mizuku.

That night…

The beginning of the quickest and slowest fortnight in recorded history, during which Corbin had worked on Dead Even 2 with close to frenzied zeal before finally finishing the damn thing and emailing it off to Nigel McQueen.

Which he’d just done that very second.

So what did he do now?

Normally, he would celebrate with Levi. But with his partner still checking out Nick Blackthorne’s possible replacement in Seattle, he was now…adrift.

Glancing at his watch, he calculated the time.

His mind raced, thinking…thinking. Levi was going to Skype in a few hours, and he’d only seen Sonja but a few hours ago. If he called her now, asked her over for a celebratory drink, would she come? She enjoyed being with him, he knew that, but it was always out in public, never in his and Levi’s apartment. He suspected she didn’t trust being completely alone with him. Or perhaps, she didn’t trust herself?

Sexual tension and all that, as it were.

He scrubbed at the back of his scalp with his fingers, staring out his window.

His heart thumped faster. His cock throbbed.

“Fuck it,” he muttered, snatching up his cell and dialing her number. “I finally finished the fucker,” he said when she answered. “Want to celebrate with me?”

“Hello to you too, Hollywood.” She laughed. The sound was
