Chapter 17

Ronan and I sit in silence as the limousine trundles down country lanes. The sky has grown dark, and – unlike home – the Scottish countryside has no streetlamps to guide the way.

Just before we got into the car, Julian patted Ronan on the shoulder and gestured to two heavy cameras sitting in the back of the car.

“We’re going to need a holiday vlog from both of you. Try to consider what the viewers want to see. Romance. Cheese. Give them a little sizzle.” He winked at us before his face turned serious. “Be careful with the equipment. If you damage anything, you’re paying for its replacement.”

My stomach is in knots again. I had figured they would want footage of our getaway, but I was hoping some camera crew would be there. But nooo, it has to be just me and Ronan, loving it up in some lavish hotel on a remote island.

I side glance at the dark outline of his side profile. He’s sitting perfectly still and resting his elbow on the side of the door, his head titled to the side.

“Are you asleep?” I wanted to keep the thought to myself, but my mouth can’t keep a secret. Ronan’s shoulders jolt and he takes a gruff intake of breath.

“No,” he says.

“Liar.” I shove him and laugh. He grabs my hand and holds it to his chest. A steady heartbeat thumps against my skin and my fingertips tingle, as if his pulse is charging my electrons.

“You’re not still mad at me then?” There I go again; blurting out every thought to cross my mind. It’s a good thing it’s dark in the car, this way I don’t have to see Ronan’s facial reactions. He’s probably scowling at me.

“What are you talking about? I’ve never been mad at you,” he counters. I take my hand back gently and fiddle with the stitching on my seatbelt. Is he just playing with me? Or did I jump to the worst case-scenario when he walked away?

“Fine. Upset or whatever––”

Ronan shifts closer to me and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear.

“None of those, either.” His voice is so low it sends heat charging through my body. “Why would you think I was mad at you?”

My brain races to pick up evidence in support of my argument. But my body melts under his touch. He traces my jaw with his fingertip, and my mind goes fuzzy.

“You didn’t come to lunch…” I take a shallow, uneven breath as his fingers graze my collarbone. “I couldn’t find you anywhere.” Ronan leans in, presses his lips against my cheekbone, and cups my face with his hands.

“That’s sweet, you missed me.” He leaves a trail of burning kisses from my cheek to my lips, but before he can deepen the kiss, I push him away.

“What happened to you? Where did you go?” I demand answers. Everyone says they love a mysterious man, but unanswered questions drive me crazy. And not in a good way.

Before Ronan can answer, a flood of light fills the limousine and the car rolls to a stop.
