Chapter Ten

Alaric paced outside Georgia’s hotel room, tugging at the collar of his tux. They were already twenty minutes late to the Marina Music Award show. Any longer, and they might as well forget going. No cameras would catch them together.

“That’s what we want, after all,” he muttered to himself. “That’s what this whole business deal is about.”

He raked his hands through his hair and groaned. He’d been up half the night, tossing and turning, imagining the soft curve of Georgia’s smile and the way her small hand felt in his. They’d had such a great day together on his yacht. She’d looked utterly gorgeous in her red bikini, paired with a flirtatious glint in her eyes that pulled him in like a fish wriggling on a line.

Yet, despite the confidence oozing off of her, there was still a hint of the old Georgia in her expressions. The young girl who couldn’t even say hi to him in high school. He liked that. There were so many layers to her personality. He wanted to get to know them all.

Only Georgia could’ve convinced him to reveal his prosthetic leg and take it off to get into the pool. Honestly, he was still surprised she’d been able to persuade him so easily. But with the warm water, the sun glinting off the Hudson, and the beautiful woman waiting for him in the deep end, how could he have refused?

If only he hadn’t let his heart run away in the moment. Georgia had pulled him back though, reminding him of their deal. It was as if she could read his mind and known he was wading into dangerous territory. He’d been stupid to think she thought of him as anything more. They weren’t even friends.

But what if they could be more?

Alaric chewed on his tongue and quit his pacing. If there was one thing he’d learned in life, you didn’t get something unless you went after it. Grabbed it by the horns. If there was a future for him and Georgia, he had to go after it. Ask her if she felt the same way.

Maybe she’d hate him. Or maybe she’d fall into his arms. Nothing lost, nothing gained. But oh, what a beautiful thing it would be if she said yes.

He just needed a minute alone with her to talk.

The doors behind him opened at that moment and he turned to see a flurry of Georgia’s staff and band mates exit the hotel room with drinks in hands, laughing and shouting. Once the commotion died down, a single person remained, framed by the white trim. Georgia stood in a stunning emerald green dress with a sweetheart neckline and tight, silk bodice. It cascaded into a floor-length skirt that glistened and moved like water over her legs.

A single strand of white pearls adorned her delicate throat and her wild curls had been tamed into a retro style with loose waves pinned on one side of her head. Her red painted lips curled into a relieved smile when she caught a glimpse of Alaric, her cheeks reddening.
