Chapter Six

Quinn’s dick strained against his jeans, so hard his temples ached. What was wrong with him? For as hot and bothered and ready to go as she was, he could have taken her in the bathroom. Found a hidden corner somewhere. Something. And even knowing all that, he couldn’t take his eyes off the flush on her cheeks. Couldn’t convince himself it had been a bad idea to please her and forget his own needs.

“What?” She ducked her head. Had she just giggled? God, this was too much. And he was enjoying every minute of it.

The chime of a cell phone shattered the pleasant mood. She reached for her purse, a frown marring her face when she looked at her phone. “Sorry. It’s the office.” She half turned her head from him. “Hello… Wait, whoa, slow down… Chuck. Chuck!” Her voice took on an edge. “What happened? … Shit. I’ll be right there.”

She was already on her feet as she dropped her phone back into her bag. “I’m so sorry.” She wouldn’t make eye contact. Her cheeks were still pink, but now a scowl slashed across her lips. “Those crowds that were out front this morning—someone started something. I guess there were some riots, some kind of mini scuffle. I don’t know.”

He grabbed her wrist. “Stop.” Seeing her instantly stressed and strung out devoured him, even after all this time. “Is everyone okay?”

“Yes, I guess. Probably.” She tugged her ponytail. “Chuck called me. He was fine, just worried. The place is secure.”

“So breathe.” He traced his thumb over the inside of her wrist.

She took a deep breath. “Better? I still have to go.”

He left money on the table, and made sure to leave a large tip. Seconds later, he stood next to her, hand on the small of her back. “I understand. Come on, I’ll walk you to the curb. Make sure you get back all right.”

Her frown faded, and her voice softened. “The Mag-Car does that.”

“Then this is double security.” He should let her go. Head back to his hotel. Call Iris and tell her someone objective need to be checking Roz’s studio out if they wanted to record here. But he couldn’t bring himself to let Roz walk away so stressed. Especially if it was his fans who had caused the problem.

She turned to him when they reached the curb. “Thanks, but I’ll be okay.” She stepped away from his touch. “I can’t take up any more of your time with my office’s problems. It was great to see you again.”

Whoa, was she brushing him off again? Pride welled inside, burying something softer that was limping at the idea of being snubbed. “I’ll be in town a couple more days.” He closed the distance between them. “I can stop by again.” He reached for her. Just one taste. The urge to crush his lips against hers was overwhelming. How could he be worried about missing her? They’d only spent a few hours together.

She pressed a hand to his chest, keeping him at arm’s length.
