Chapter 10

“Tell me about yourself.”

Cambry looked up from the spot on the table she had been staring at since she dropped her eyes from his hot gaze.

“How about you tell me about you. I need to warm up a little I think.”

Evan smiled at her gently, but the heat of his gaze ate her up as he looked at her. To anyone else his appearance was a relaxed pose and seemed totally casual. They couldn’t see the connection between the two people that was sparking and pulsing across the table.

He started talking about his family. His parents sounded like they couldn’t have been a more oddly matched couple. His mom was a teacher, was recently retired and his father was a mechanic that belonged to a motorcycle club. He grew up in two different worlds that had him surrounded by knowledge, fast bikes, and lots of love. He had an older sister, making him the baby of the family.

“I never even thought of leaving Colorado. I wanted to go to school here, teach here, and most importantly ride here. I love teaching. Granted, most of my time is split between teaching the alphabet and days of the week, with wiping noses and rushing kids to the bathroom. It’s possibly the best and most challenging job in the world,” he explained.

“I love kids. They are so funny. I had some friends that would get so annoyed at little ones. Especially in restaurants and stores. They’re tiny humans that haven’t even been conscious that long. You expect them to act like adults? I kind of think of them as baby monkeys. Learning and being hysterical at the same time. Who wouldn’t find that charming?”

Evan raised his eyebrow at her. “Oh yes, charming when they vomit on your shoes. I get it though, it’s so amazing how fast they grow and change. I get them when they still have that baby about them. Another year or two and that baby is gone. It’s a blink in their lives that I’m lucky to be present for.”

Cambry could see that he loved his job and his kids. Evan wasn’t the kind of guy that would have his face splashed across the news for being a deceitful asshole. Cambry on the other hand was.

She didn’t know if she should confess or be greedy and wait until she got to spend one night with him before telling him the truth.

Facing him if he thought she was scum would be devastating either way. He was a nice guy. Nice guys didn’t go out with women that were formally married to criminals. Her ex had left a film of greed and corruption on her that she couldn’t seem to slough off.

“You are lucky you love your job. I’m proud of myself every day that I show back up to mine. I’m not complaining that I have a job; I mean I know I’m lucky. But sometimes I wonder what I could do if I had any passion about what I did.
