SIENA THOUGHT SHE might lose her mind if she had to spend one more minute with Gunner Gibson. She sat at a table in Corner Reads, the bookstore where they had planned to meet at seven—and he’d shown up at seven forty. Jewel had told her to just look interested in him, gaze at him, engage him in conversation. She said they didn’t have to look like they were in love; they just needed to look interested to pique the public’s interest. Siena still didn’t get the point of the whole situation. She was a model, not an actress, and practically no one outside the industry knew who she was beyond being a pretty girl they’d seen in a magazine. But Jewel had assured her that this was what her career needed for her to remain as one of the top models, so she sucked it up and put on her best interested face as he scrolled through his text messages.

“Gunner, what do you like to read?” Jesus, what am I going to talk to this guy about?

His eyes remained trained on his phone. “Eh, you know, sports stuff mostly.”

No wonder you have to rely on strip clubs. Siena didn’t see anyone taking pictures, and she wondered how long she’d have to sit there pretending that she was okay with a guy focused on his phone and wasting her time. But she knew how to get guys like that to talk.

She fluttered her lashes—of course he wouldn’t see her doing it, but it put her in the right frame of mind—and in her best fan girl voice, she asked, “Tell me what it’s like being out there on the field with all those big men rushing after you. Aren’t you scared?”

Bingo! His eyes found hers. The hand holding his phone dropped to his lap, and a smile graced his full lips and pushed at his high cheekbones. Maybe she’d think he was handsome if he weren’t such a nimrod.

“Scared? Hell no. I’m as big and strong as they are. But a normal guy, yeah, they’d be worried. My guys have my back, and if one of the other team break through…” He patted his chest three times. Hard.

Siena envisioned Tarzan banging his chest, and she stifled a laugh.

“I can handle myself. You know, I’ve got the second-best record in the league.” He leaned forward, elbows on the table, biceps flexing beneath his black T-shirt. “Best record in the bedroom, too. We could blow this bookstore and go have some real fun.”

Siena narrowed her eyes at him and held his stare. She leaned forward with a smile on her lips, and in the most seductive voice she could muster, she said, “How about we get through this impossibly boring situation, get the pictures taken so the press thinks there’s a chance in hell I wouldn’t despise everything you just said, and then we move on with our lives?” She fluttered her lashes again. She was damn sure he saw it this time.
