CHAPTER 20

I woke up to the sound of Dalton talking to another man in the adjoining room.

The fancy hotel suite was similar to an apartment, with the bed in its own room with double doors, and the hallway door opening to a living space with sofas and tables. The double doors were only open a crack, but once I was awake, I could hear them clearly.

The man thanked Dalton, then the suite’s door opened and closed. Dishes clinked. The double doors to the bedroom opened and a rolling tray entered. I could smell both bacon and coffee, though everything was covered in gleaming, metal domes.

Dalton wore a pair of blue jeans, and no shirt. His usually-bare chest had the stubble of some hairs I hadn’t noticed before. Sometimes you have to see someone a bunch of times before you see everything.

“I got your mocha,” he said. “They didn’t have Pop Tarts, though, so will blueberry pancakes be nearly as good?”

I sat up, holding the sheet across my breasts for modesty in the bright morning light. He’d opened the curtains and the room was gleaming with the promise of a mostly sunny day, with just a touch of the famous San Francisco fog over the harbor.

“How did you know about my Pop Tarts?”

“The first night you were staying at my house in LA, you gave me heck for not having Normal People Food.”

“Right.” I climbed out of bed just long enough to grab a T-shirt and panties from my suitcase and slip them on before climbing back into bed. “Your house is really great, by the way. I was impressed. Especially when I came over to get my computer, and you turned on those crazy fans. You were acting so weird.”

“Me?” He lifted the domes off the food. “You were fucking my look-alike. How was that not supposed to make me crazy? And you brought Carter Crow into my house.”

“Keith Raven.”

Scowling, he stood near the foot of the bed, picking at the fruit tray. “That guy wasn’t right for you.”

My stomach pitched uneasily, and I regretted bringing up Keith, especially mentioning his name.

“He’s out of my life now,” I said.

“Was it just physical?”

I held my hands out. “Duh.”

He got a smug look I didn’t like at all, with a twisted grin. “Fair’s fair.”

“What do you mean? Did you hook up with someone, too?”

“Would you have a problem if I did?”

“No, but you might.”

He raised his eyebrow at me, but kept on eating strawberries, standing near the foot of the bed and looking like the devil himself.

I took a deep breath and let out an audible sigh. “I’m a hypocrite. Whatever or whomever you did, so long as it’s in the past and nobody I know, it’s fine.”

He didn’t say anything.

My insides started to hurt. I narrowed my eyes at him, squinting like I had a superpower for reading his mind, and maybe I did, because I knew, without a doubt, that he’d fucked someone we both knew.

“Who?” I asked.

“It was just physical,” he said.
