Fifteen

The second hour of the workshop wasn’t nearly as much fun as having Darcy kiss him, AJ thought. Or kissing her back until she’d gasped in surprise and stared at him like she’d never seen him before.

Nope. Nothing near as good.

Up next was the obstacle course, which was a “minefield” with chairs, balls, cones, boxes, and other objects that were potential obstacles and could trip someone up.

The catch? Every round consisted of someone being blindfolded, to be led around by the other’s voice alone.

Upon receiving these directions, Darcy turned to AJ with a wide-eyed look of such heartbreaking, genuine panic at the thought of being blindfolded, he volunteered.

Fucking sucker, Wyatt would’ve said.

It wasn’t until they’d been divided up among several hotel boardrooms for their turn that the rest of the exercise came out. If the one doing the vocal guiding got the other through the obstacle course in less than five minutes each, they got to ask a question of their partner.

It was like some big game of Truth or Dare, but with both truth and dare.

And of course AJ was up first.

Trent clapped a hand on his shoulder. “Good luck, man.” He and Summer were to go right after AJ and Darcy, with Summer being the blindfolded one.

“Guess we know who the most trusting ones are, don’t we,” Summer murmured to AJ with a low laugh.

Darcy had given him a look of surprise, like she hadn’t realized he trusted her.

How the hell could she be surprised? But then again she didn’t have a lot of experience with trust. Given away by her parents over and over again, often separated from her siblings without any communication allowed, then later as an adult wanderlusting all over the planet on her own, she’d rarely let anyone in, much less allowed herself the luxury of trust.

They were given a blindfold. Darcy met his gaze and then moved behind him, her arms coming around him. You are not having sex with her, he reminded himself. Not unless she strips naked and throws you to the bed and—

No. Under no circumstances were they having sex. Period. He couldn’t, not without getting his heart involved. Even though there was already an entire section of his heart with her name engraved on it.

Darcy’s body brushed his and he stilled in order to catch every single second of it.

“You okay?” she asked.

“Yes.” No …

She settled the blindfold against his eyes, during which time her hair brushed his jaw and her scent filled his head. He actually caught himself trying to inhale her whole.

“Don’t get any ideas,” she murmured in his ear.

Too late. He had all sorts of ideas. “About?”

“About doing this to me.”

With his eyes covered, his other senses kicked into gear, like the feel of her mouth so close to his ear, her breasts pressing into his back. “Turnabout is fair play,” he said, voice low and husky even to his own ears.

She laughed but her voice was just as low and husky as his. “Maybe if you’re very lucky.
