CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Camilla

“I know. I’m a busy bitch, but I can’t,” I say as I push the door open and leave the office.

“Can’t or won’t?” Isabella asks.

How about both?

“Can’t. I have a sponsorship event tonight. I have to go impress bigwigs.” I adjust my bag on my shoulder and start across the parking lot toward my car.

“You are a bigwig and you’re bluffing.” She tsks. “I know you too well.”

“Let’s shoot for when I get back from the next race. I’ll do drinks with him then,” I say with no intention of doing drinks with anybody, let alone a blind date she picks for me.

“No, you won’t. But I’ll badger you. Then cajole you. Then stalk you from afar to make sure you show up.”

“Perfect. I don’t expect any less.”

“Later, Cam. Love you.”

“Love you too.”

I breathe out a sigh of relief. Dodged that bullet. Let’s hope I can keep dodging it.

And just as I drop my phone in my tote I hear, “Hey, Moretti?”

Footsteps fall heavily behind me as Riggs jogs after me. As much as I want to keep walking, I stop and turn to look at him.

Jesus. The man knows how to wear a pair of jeans.

And when I see the jeans, I think of my dream. Of the perfect V of muscles they’re covering. Of his cock springing free.

And this—your ridiculous fantasy—is why you’ve been avoiding him every chance you can.

“Hey,” I say and smile. “What’s up?”

He slows to a stop in front of me, his grin lighting up his face. “You’re everywhere and nowhere. I just wanted to say hi. See how you were doing.”

I eye him. What is going on? My cheeks stain pink as my mind goes to crazy places—like there’s no way he could know about my dream.

“Good,” I say cautiously.

“I have some ideas for the AITA thing.”

“Okay. I’ll have Elise set something up to go over it with you.”

“I want you in on the meeting,” he says, brow narrowing.

“Um. Okay.” I chuckle. “Why?”

“Because you’re avoiding me, and I don’t like to be avoided.”

Shit. He knows.

“No, I haven’t. I’ve been . . . busy. Kissing up to sponsors. Trying to get these new campaigns everywhere. And a whole lot of other stuff.”

“A whole lot of other stuff. Is that a technical term?” he asks.

“Yes. Very technical.”

“That’s what I thought.” He glances over his shoulder.

“You had impressive results last race. How are you feeling with everything?”

“Good. Fine.” He tilts his head to the side and studies me. I squirm under his scrutiny. “I saw you with Steele Pennington in Montreal. What’s that all about?”

Oh.

Oooh.

Is that jealousy I detect from Spencer Riggs? Jealousy that has no business being there. And why do I kind of like it?

But why is he jealous? He doesn’t like me. Dare cards and everything with them.

“Camilla.” He groans out my name.

I freeze. My name. The tone in which he says it. The odd desperation laced in it. I swear to God it sounds exactly like my dream. My body sparks to life—not like his presence didn’t already do that, but it’s tenfold now.
