The next morningâ¦
Spending the day pottering around on a fucking golf course with Mortimer was about as appetizing as a lava enema. Having Hazel with me made things a smidge less unpleasantâsheâd dressed in a cute white skirt, a preppy collared shirt, and tennis shoes, her caramel hair up in a high ponytail. No makeup save for a splash of mascara.
Gorgeous. Perfect. Dangerous as fuck.
I liked her dressed down, dressed up, and in nothing. I just liked her.
I placed my hand in the small of her back and guided her toward the golf clubhouse, where all the old dudes would hang around after a few rounds and tell fishing stories. Most of them werenât even related to fishâwho bagged the biggest deal, whose wife had signed the tightest pre-nup, whose mistress was the hottest. The kind of bullshit that turned the brain to mush.
âYou OK?â Hazel asked, leaning into me so that her arm brushed my side. Sheâd woken up worrying about her father, but her mood had lightened significantly after sheâd given him a quick call.
âIf youâre not careful, Iâm going to take you to the bathroom and have my way with you,â I said, pressing my nose into her hair and inhaling.
âDidnât you get enough this morning?â Hazelâs smile was in her voice.
I squeezed her closer and pressed a kiss to her temple, allowing myself a moment of weakness. Of emotion. Besides, I could pass the affection off as part of the act. We were in public, and engaged couples were supposed to be nauseatingly all over each other.
âYouâd better get as much as you can before the weekend ends,â I said, into her ear.
Hazel stepped away from me, turning and walking backward so she could spear me with a glare. âIâm the one who suggested that in the first place. Do you think Iâm going to forget?â
âNo, but I know youâll fall for me if youâre not careful. Remember, that was the one rule. Donât. Fall. Forââ
âYouâll fall for me before I fall for you,â Hazel said, lifting her chin. âBet.â
I sniggered, and she flipped me off, proudly.
Christ, I liked that about her. A woman who was both shy but confident, mature but young-at-heart, and caring. The women Iâd dated, albeit in a very short-term way, had all been attractive, but thereâd been something missing. Not enough sass or just a disconnect.
With Hazel it was like⦠Fuck, youâre an idiot. Stop getting sentimental. I viewed her through a nostalgic lens, that was all. Because sheâd been my first real crush in high school. Not a chick Iâd wanted to bone and forget, but one whoâd gotten under my skin.
âThank God.â Seth appeared on the path in front of the clubhouse, dressed like heâd just left a frat party, popped collar and all. âI was beginning to think the worst.â
âThat weâd died in a vicious animal attack?â
âHuh?â
I shrugged. âI canât think of anything worse than that.â
Hazel snapped her fingers and pointed at me. âAlien abduction. Death by alien abduction.
