Chapter Nineteen

Kendal

His kiss rushed through me. My ears thrummed with my desire, and my legs were all weak like cooked spaghetti. I pressed my hand on a nearby table to steady myself. Desire and shame didn’t mix well inside me.

I lowered my head and realized his kiss didn’t alleviate how my stomach was tight and jumpy. I’d pushed him away, and he'd proved how great he truly was. So my heart beat a mile a second as I said, “I’m so sorry.”

“We already talked about it, but I have an idea.” My eyes widened, and he offered his hand and said, “Let’s go do something fun.”

Outside, my father might drive past us or stop in front of us. The town wasn’t that full of people. This wasn’t a city like Nashville. But if we stayed in his hotel room, I would either continue stressing or want to rip off his clothes and find out if his body on mine sent me into spasms.

Because I had no other choice, I nodded. “Okay, nothing big, and I wanted to ask you about this job and what you really see me doing?”

If we stuck close to the hotel and the police station, we would probably be fine.

He pressed his hand on my back, and we headed to the door. “Sure, you go to work with me. You’ll obviously meet Arman in person, and you take all the calls from contracted game creators first and talk them off whatever ledge they feel they are on.”

He motioned to walk in the wrong direction. I waved him toward a small bistro that served wines and coffee. My father preferred hard liquor and beer. Joel, having no idea about my thoughts, said, “Well, if you’re good, we’ll move you over to potential clients to help smooth out any personal qualms they might have that aren’t in the contract.”

He picked a seat on the patio. My spine tingled, but I said, “So basically, you want me to dress up your company as the good guys they want to be in business with.”

“Yeah.” He ordered a frothy cappuccino, so I picked a mocha, which I usually considered a treat.

My heart thrummed, and goose bumps grew on my head. We settled in, and I sipped my coffee, though it felt like I was being watched. I crossed and recrossed my legs, and the seat seemed to wobble. Then, for a moment, I thought I was crazy, until my gaze spotted Gene Brown down the street.

I pressed my hand to my heart and jumped. “Joel, stop.”

His cup almost spilled when I grabbed his hand and tugged. He followed, but my spine had chills. I couldn’t think, but I needed to run, fast.

We made it to the street in front of
