Chapter Eight

SURROUNDED BY WOMEN and a couple guys while Thomas performed an entire routine to some music in his head was not a date about me. In fact, it seemed like he wasn’t even paying attention to me anymore. No, I didn’t need the world to revolve around me all the time, but I did expect my date to want to spend that time with me and not a bunch of adoring, drooling fans. Finally, I looked at the camera guy, raised my eyebrows, and then began walking back down the sidewalk from where we came. If I had to, I’d call a cab from the parking lot, but I was done. It was great that Thomas didn’t mind making a spectacle of himself, but I had other things to do with my time.

What gave me hope, though, was that I didn’t get too far before I heard his southern voice calling to me. “Claire, where you goin’?” I turned around then, waiting for him to join me, leaving the cheering crowd behind. “You didn’t like my dancing?”

“No, it wasn’t that. It was that you were amassing a mob.”

“Did that bother you?” I shrugged and started walking again. “If you want to be an actress, Claire, you need to get used to paparazzi, don’t you think?”

That sort of pissed me off, even though I kept my temper in check—but I couldn’t keep my mouth shut. “That wasn’t paparazzi, Thomas—that was an audience.”

Chuckling, he said, “Fair enough. Are you ready for lunch?”

“I thought you’d never ask.”

The rest of my date with Thomas was uneventful compared to his dance routine. We ate lunch and he mostly talked about himself, although he did ask me questions on occasion. By the end, though, I was beginning to think there was no compatibility between us, and the more he talked, the less I found him interesting.

When we got to the car, he said, “Imagine it, Claire. What if I won the whole thing and became your mate—and then we parlayed that into an acting career for us both?”

“That would be pretty cool.”

“Hell, yeah.” Unexpectedly, he swept me into his arms and said, “Now that shit makes me hard.” Without warning, he planted his lips on mine. I hadn’t much remembered his kiss from our strange first date last week, but this time was memorable. He pressed his body into mine and nipped at my lips until I responded. Then he slowly touched his tongue on my lower lip before entering my mouth. It led into several passionate kisses, amazing because he finally read my cues instead of boring me with stories about himself.

Maybe he would be a good escort.

Finally, camera guy said, “I hate to break up the party, guys, but time’s up. Gotta head back to the mansion.”

Thomas let go of me and turned. “What if we made this a threesome, dude?”

That night at dinner, I could feel tension so thick, it was harder to slice through than the ribeye on my plate.
