Chapter Seven

T he sun was peeking over the horizon when Colton finally dragged himself out of Harper's bed. What he wanted to do was stay there for a week with Cecelia delivering food and drink to sustain them. But what he was going to do was find Gavin and put an end to the charade of a reality show .

Once he was dressed, he took a minute to watch over Harper, enjoying the peaceful look on her face as she slept. It was another first for him. He'd racked up many in the last few weeks. Hell, just in the last twenty-four hours he'd ridden horses with a woman, joined her on an impromptu picnic, treasured cuddling all night and now dreaded leaving her. All firsts for the confirmed bachelor .

The room smelled like sex, but it was no wonder considering they'd made love every few hours throughout the night. He leaned down to kiss her brow, hoping he could find Gavin and be back before she even woke up .

He pulled the door closed quietly behind him as he took the stairs down to the pool house. The two-story expanse was still dark, making the glow of a cigar stand out. The shadowy silhouette turned into Gavin as Colton got closer .

He was relieved. "I'm glad you're back. We need to talk ."

"Damn straight we do. I see you've been busy while I was away ."

Colton wondered how the producer even knew he wasn't asleep in his own bed. Regardless, he didn't want to have this conversation so close to the sleeping Harper. He suspected there would be raised voices involved and wanted to spare her .

"Let's go up to the house. We can put on some coffee," Colton suggested .

"No, I think we best stay here. I wouldn't want anyone else to listen in ."

"Well, they'll find out soon enough that I'm out. I know you'll need to fine me for breach of contract, but I accept that's what I need to do ."

Gavin pinned him with an unreadable glare. "I'm afraid it isn't that simple ."

"Sure it is. I was under contract. I'm breaking it. You'll fine me and we'll call it a day ."

"Just like that?" he asked flatly. Colton didn't know how to reply, so he kept quiet until Gavin crossed the line. "She must be some piece of ass to throw the whole show down the fucking tube for her ."

As the producer's offensive words registered, Colton grabbed him by the collar and yanked him to his feet, easily manhandling the smaller man. "You'd better watch yourself, Wallace, or you'll end up with my fist in your face ."

The bastard had the nerve to flash a determined smile. "Go ahead. That'll make for a better show ."

"I told you, there is no show." Then it hit him. He glanced around, expecting to find a cameraman lurking in one of the shadows, relieved when they appeared to be alone .

Gavin's grim smile kept him on edge.
