After Connor’s quiet confession, we settled into a melancholy sort of silence. He stopped his tapping against the steering wheel and I stopped fiddling with the seatbelt.

“You want to go over that media list again?” I finally asked.

“Sure,” Connor said, sounding grateful that I’d spoken up.

We went over the list of bloggers and journalists, looking at their previous work, deciding who to invite to cover the grand opening. Connor’s tight grip on the steering wheel eased, his tense shoulders dropping down from where they’d been hunched up around his ears.

As much as I had resisted taking this road trip with him in the same car, I had to admit we were getting a lot of work done. The business trip had been a success.

It had also caused a whole host of complications to go along with that success.

His hair was still tousled from when he’d run his hand through it — not that it was ever really tamed. Strands fell down over his forehead, framing his handsome face and jaw. I couldn’t help but remember what it had felt like to have that face, that mouth, so close to mine, close enough to taste.

The one eye I could see from Connor’s side profile was dark and serious as he nodded along to my suggestions and inserted a few of his own. That gaze had looked at my naked body in near worship. He’d stared into my eyes and I’d fallen into his, allowing myself to be submerged into that infinite darkness.

“Something wrong?” Connor asked.

I’d stopping speaking, lost in the memories of our night together.

“Just thinking.” I looked back down at the blogger list, tracing my finger down the paper to where we’d left off.

“You might as well put that away,” Connor said. “We’re almost home.”

“There’s still half the list to go,” I replied.

“Don’t you think we’ve already gotten a lot done?” he asked.

I had to agree. “We might even be ahead of schedule.”

Connor took one hand off the steering wheel long enough to pluck the folder from my fingers and toss it into my open bag at my feet.

“You’re officially off the clock,” he said.

“I’m never really off the clock,” I said.

“You can jump back into things early tomorrow morning,” he said. “For now, we should take a break and enjoy ourselves.”

We already enjoyed ourselves quite thoroughly last night, I almost retorted, but I didn’t say it out loud.

Connor turned the corner into the parking lot of my apartment building and came to a stop in one of the parking spots.

“Thanks for the ride.” I grabbed my bag, unbuckled the seatbelt and grabbed the door handle. “I think we had a really productive trip.”

Connor unbuckled his seatbelt too and grabbed for his bag in the backseat. I stopped with the door half open and one leg out.

“What are you doing?” I asked.

“Getting my bag,” he said. “I don’t want to leave it in the car overnight.”

I slowly turned my head to stare at him.

“What?” I said dumbly.

“I have no idea what kind of neighborhood this is,” he replied.
