Kynley got onto the elevator and punched a button, trying to ignore Marco’s quizzical look. Sebastian had stayed behind at the studio and Marco was supposed to see her safely to her suite, but that wasn’t the button she’d pushed. They stood in silence until Kynley couldn’t take it anymore.

“I’m only going to talk to him,” she blurted. She couldn’t stop thinking about Dalton, couldn’t erase the hurt look in his eyes at the studio.

Marco shrugged. “It’s none of my business.”

“Except you’ll tell Sebastian,” she pointed out.

Marco turned his massive shoulders to gaze down at her. The look in his dark eyes was somewhere between affection and … pity?

“I won’t tell him if you don’t want me to,” he said quietly.

“Okay, well … thanks.” Kynley nodded a bit grudgingly. She’d never been totally comfortable around her security guards. They’d been hired by Sebastian, and sometimes it was hard to tell if they were there to guard her safety or to spy on her for him. Not that she ever did anything that required spying, unless the few times she’d talked them into stopping at In-N-Out when she was supposed to be on a veggie-only diet counted. But if they had ratted her out to Sebastian those times, he hadn’t mentioned it.

The doors opened on Dalton’s floor. Marco gave her a smile and stayed in the elevator, leaving her on her own. As she walked down the hall to Dalton’s room, her heartbeat picked up. What if he was still mad? What if she’d blown her chance with him? But that would be a good thing, right? She couldn’t get involved with anyone right now.

She squared her shoulders and tapped lightly on his door. There was no answer; maybe he was out. What if he’d gone to dinner alone and was meeting pretty girls? Jealousy squirmed in her chest.

Then the lock clicked and Dalton pulled the door open. His hair stood on end and he squinted at her a little owlishly.

“Were you asleep?” Kynley asked.

“No.” He ran one hand over the scruff on his jaw and stepped back to open the door wider. “Come in.”

“You’re a liar, you were asleep,” Kynley said accusingly as she entered the room. Dalton wore a baggy T-shirt with a pair of knit shorts and was barefoot. The bed was rumpled and the TV was on, but muted.

Dalton gave her a sheepish grin. “Maybe a little bit.” He waved one hand toward the TV, where an infomercial played. “Though I was also seriously considering buying the SteamCooker Pro. You may have just saved me from myself.”

She laughed, but it came out a bit thin and strained.

Dalton gave her a searching look, then picked up the remote from the bed and killed the TV. “What’s up?”

She bit her lip. “I wanted to apologize for earlier today. You know … when you asked about dinner.”

He leaned back against the low dresser that held the TV and crossed his arms. “Okay. Thanks.”

“It’s not that I didn’t want to go,” she rushed ahead.
