Chapter Seventeen

DOM made the sprint to the underground car park where he’d parked his car without any problem, grateful every second of the way that he’d kept up with his training at the local gym. Zeb had less stamina, though, despite Dom dragging him along behind him. He was still gasping five minutes later as he leaned against Dom’s SUV, regaining his breath. Dom guessed the fashion types didn’t get much genuine exercise when they worked in town. Or maybe it was some kind of shock? Zeb’s eyes still looked rather large and his skin was paler than usual. Mind you, Dom reckoned he’d look a lot healthier if he washed out those stupid glitter-gel highlights and let the rich chestnut-brown roots grow out.

Dom shook his hand surreptitiously down by his side. The knuckles smarted. He hadn’t punched anyone in a long time, but it had been the perfect distraction, letting them escape the rabble. There was no sound or sight of the reporters, so it looked like they’d shaken them off. But for how long? He wondered, only slightly guiltily, if he should pop into Tanya’s office across the street and explain his position before her phone started ringing with complaints. But hell, that was what he employed a PA for, wasn’t it?

Zeb’s cry startled him. “What the hell did you do that for? Punching someone—it’s outrageous!”

Dominic set his jaw into a familiar, mulish state. “Didn’t you hear what he said?”

“Well, yes, but what does that matter? Zeb’s used to stupid abuse.”

Dominic frowned. “Why do you talk about yourself in the third person?”

“What?” Zeb’s eyes widened even farther. “I mean, we have to get out of here. What if he calls the police? What if he sues you?”

“I don’t care,” Dominic said. “And maybe we should stand our ground.”

There was a sudden clatter of footsteps and Dom tensed. But the man who came down the ramp into the car park was Eric. His eyes shining with mischief, he crowed, “Bloody well done, Dom! That rat bastard’s caused all sorts of problems for other clients of Tanya’s. Time he got his comeuppance!”

Dominic braced himself in case the horde was right behind Eric, baying for blood. “Just let me at him again—”

“No! Let’s get going,” Zeb pleaded beside him.

Eric nodded emphatically. “Zeb’s right. You should keep a low profile right now. Tanya will smooth it over, and we’ll sort out a proper media schedule now we know you two are back together.”

“Wait—” Zeb’s protest was weak.

“I’ve got it covered!” Eric announced gleefully. “You two can just go!” And with a final thumbs-up to Dom, he turned and ran back up the ramp, out of sight.

Dom shook the car keys out of his pocket and made his way to the driver’s side. “Hop in. I know the best way across the city in less than half an hour.”

Zeb didn’t move, but he took a long, deep breath. “There’s just one thing to get straight before we go.” His voice was tight. “You didn’t need to thump that reporter on my behalf.
