I spend the rest of the afternoon working under an umbrella on the beach—or trying to, anyway. In reality I can’t help but let my mind wander back to Liam.

Could Verity be right?

I feel like I need to sit down with a Sharpie and a stack of index cards to make sense of all the mixed signals he’s been putting out. One minute he’s lecturing me on the importance of professionalism, and the next I catch him staring at me like he wants to rip my clothes off and devour me whole. Not to mention the fact that every time anything has happened between us, he’s been incredibly into it in the moment—and then immediately fled like it was the end of the world. None of it exactly bodes well for the promise of lasting relationship bliss.

Then again: do I even need lasting relationship bliss if the sex is good enough to blast me off into the stratosphere?

Huh. Sex in the stratosphere, I type, making a mental note to run the idea by Verity later today.

Just then a tall, broad shadow falls over my computer screen. “There you are,” says Liam’s familiar voice.

Right away, I motion to my laptop. “I’m working,” I assure him, hoping my sunglasses are big and dark enough to successfully hide the fact that he was the one providing the inspiration.

Liam nods. “I’m sure you are,” he says. “How did it go with Verity this morning?”

“Not bad, actually,” I admit, deciding to spare him the details of our racy brainstorming session. “I think we may actually be getting somewhere.”

“Well, that’s good to hear.” He gives a wry smile. “I’m impressed you’re getting anywhere, honestly.”

“Aw, she’s not that bad,” I say, shutting my computer and pulling my bare legs up underneath me. “A big part of this job is knowing how to deal with the talent, that’s all.”

“I’m sure this will come as a shock to you, but that part isn’t exactly my strong suit.” Liam takes a seat on the lounge chair beside me, and glances over, looking curious. “Did you ever think about being a writer yourself?”

I shake my head. “I tried, once upon a time, and the whole thing was an utter failure,” I say with a laugh. “I don’t know, my brain just doesn’t work that way. Some people can see an empty space and design a house from nothing… and other people are better at being interior designers: Rearranging the furniture to be the best layout.” I nod at him playfully. “And some people are best at making sure the whole renovation stays on budget.”

“Oh,” Liam says with a smirk, “is that me?”

“That’s you,” I confirm.

“Thanks a lot.”

“I’m just teasing,” I tell him. “I’m sure you have an imagination in there somewhere.”

“Oh, I have an imagination.”

His words are deep and husky, and make my stomach turn over—in the best possible way.

I freeze. Did he really just say that?

I sneak a look over, and find Liam looking just as surprised. Both of us are stunned into silence for a moment.
