Chapter Sixteen

Holy Find

The next morning in the lobby, ready to take on surveillance, Cassandra spotted Trevor first. Her blood had immediately heated at the sight. Trevor was dressed down and looked like the perfect tourist. He sported slightly baggy jeans, a geek t-shirt telling everyone to check his code, and red Chucks. The look in his eyes when he finally noticed her had also given her a little thrill.

She had put on her favorite low-riding jeans, a form-fitting discreetly low-cut wrap top, and practical tennis shoes. His look of admiration reminded her of that day, not so long ago, when she had stormed into his office. She could clearly recall the moment his startling blue eyes had locked with hers; the same look had instantly flooded them.

At the time it had made her uncomfortable, but not in a weird way, which had puzzled her. She could also remember how the simple word shite, spoken in his Irish brogue, had caught her attention. Annoyed at her own moment of weakness, she had gone for the jugular.

Who could have foreseen they would be in Paris less than a week later? Paris. From the corner of her eye she watched the man sitting next to her in the car. Her stomach was in knots. When he looked her way, she turned her head to look out the window. She hoped that her plan would pay off.

Trevor was fidgety. The weight of Cassandra’s scrutiny hit him and he glanced in her direction, but she diverted her eyes to the scenery, avoiding his gaze. He turned his eyes back to the road, but he could still see her in his peripheral vision. He took his time studying her. The curve of her cheek and her pursed lips drew him, and a smile played at the corner of his mouth.

Her pursed lips and faraway look had become familiar to him—her version of a thinking cap. He didn’t think she realized that her lips became even more inviting during those moments she became lost in her head. The urge to lean over and capture them with his was strong. His cock twitched to life and he had to clamp down hard on his reactions to her.

Although she had definitely warmed up to him, she was still keeping her distance. He had to respect that and allow more time for her to come around. He adjusted himself subtly into a more comfortable position and, in the process, accidently brushed against Cassandra’s arm.

Cassandra jumped, as if shocked, and quickly moved her arm to rest in her lap. It gave him some satisfaction to know that she experienced the same tingle he did every time they touched. Shite. That woman had the power to bring him to his knees. Thank God she hadn’t fully realized that yet. Heaven help him when she did.

****

“Three days and still nothing,” Cassandra grumbled in her chair.

They had spent the last days sipping tea and espressos while savoring French pastries. Cassandra perked up when the waiter appeared with her drink.
