Chapter 13

T ara fought back the urge to pull away from the kiss. It was necessary, she knew, but she was starting to lose herself in Rick, and she knew she couldn’t do that. She had to keep her feelings in check. If she allowed herself to fall for him, she’d only end up with a broken heart.

Rick ran his hand up her back, and tingles erupted, making her pulse race. She forced herself to remember this was just an act. Rick wasn’t really kissing her. He was playing a part, and she was the female lead. She distanced herself from the kiss, thinking of Kylee and how she would see her tomorrow.

When he pulled back, she smiled at him, hoping it looked realistic. What she wanted to do was run away from him. Go catch her breath in the restroom and gather her wits about her. But instead, she forced herself to melt into his arms.

Rick played with a tendril of her hair. “Think we should mingle?”

“Probably a good idea.”

“Maybe in a minute.” Rick brushed another light kiss across her lips and tingles shot across her skin. Man, this was going to kill her.

Rick finally pulled back and they walked the room, chatting with the celebrities and producers. She watched as he introduced her to everyone. Tara had to give it to him: he was good at this game. Charm rolled off him in waves. He knew everyone’s name and worked the room with ease.

As people started filing into the screening room, Rick took her hand. “Guess we should follow.”

She nodded, and they made their way through the doors. Instead of regular theater seats, leather recliners made up the rows of seating. Small tables were spread throughout the room, topped with hors d’oeuvres and wine.

Rick motioned to a couple of seats near a table. “This look okay?”

“Fine.” She sat down and nibbled on something wrapped in bacon. It was delicious. Rick grabbed a glass of wine and downed it.

Tara swatted him on the arm. “Stop that.”

“Phil worries too much. I’m fine. Wine isn’t going to do anything to me.”

Tara struggled for a moment between saying something and keeping her mouth shut. She wasn’t hired to be his mother. He was a grown man and could make his own decisions. Yet, if he got sloppy drunk and did something else to embarrass himself, it would only reflect poorly on them both. In the end, she decided to shrug and let him drink it. He was right. It was only wine.

She watched the movie and tried to ignore when Rick signaled for more wine throughout the show. Then the party moved to a private home where harder liquor was being served. Tara grabbed Rick’s arm the moment he reached for a glass of scotch.

“I’m sorry, I forgot something in the car. Can you come with me?”

Rick slid his arm around her waist. “Of course, baby.” He grabbed the glass with his other hand and ushered her out of the room.

“What are you doing?” she hissed.
