Ella stretched on the side of the main trail people used to get into Runyon Canyon. Thankfully, being the middle of the week in the morning, it wasn’t as crowded as it could be. She’d only seen one person so far she knew and that had been a grip she’d worked with years ago. He’d smiled with a short wave and kept running.

Ella bent forward and touched her toes. On the weekend, the place would be crawling with A- to Z-list celebrities, hoping to get a little face time with the paparazzi. Bringing her arm over her head, she stretched, noting the place was actually quite peaceful when it wasn’t packed.

“Sorry!”

She jumped when a small furry dog leaped at her calves. The owner, a young blonde woman just on the cusp of a plastic surgery addiction, called out to the animal, and smiled at Ella apologetically. Ella responded with a fake smile, and stepped back and away from the dog. She jumped when she connected with the hard chest of a man.

“I’m so sorry,” she apologized profusely as she turned, but rolled her eyes when she realized it was Ian.

“Being attacked by wild beasts, I see.” He indicated with a nod of his head toward the now-lingering woman and her dog.

Ella shook her head, realizing the woman had probably sent her dog to connect with Ian, but the animal had other plans. She couldn’t blame her. Ian was still as sexy as ever, but possibly a little more than usual in his sleeveless athletic top and running shorts. She allowed herself a few seconds to ogle him under the safety of her sunglasses. Even if she wasn’t going to sleep with him anymore, it didn’t mean she couldn’t appreciate he was an attractive man. She rubbed her finger and thumb together nervously at just how attractive he was.

“I think it was a failed mission. You may have been the intended target.” She bent over again for one final stretch as she spoke.

“Those are kind of short,” he remarked.

She looked over at the woman, who was now fluffing her dog’s hair and cooing at it. The blonde had on yoga pants that left very little to the imagination in her nether regions. Yikes, Ella thought, a urinary tract infection was going to be in someone’s immediate future if she didn’t let her vagina breathe. Ella didn’t understand what Ian meant about her pants being short. She didn’t think her pants being short caused the woman’s camel toe.

“I think they’re a capri cut. They’re meant to be short,” she replied, pushing her sunglasses up the bridge of her nose.

“Those seem really short for capri style and quite tight.” His tone was incredulous as he looked at her.

“When did you become the fashion police?” Ella snorted and bent to tighten the laces of her running shoes.

“When did you start showing your ass off to strangers?”

Ella blinked with confusion as she looked up at Ian from her crouched position. “How did my ass get in this conversation?” She stood and rested her hands on her hips.
