Chapter Five

Kasee had the phone to the intercom unit for Dion’s building lifted to her ear before she realized he wasn’t likely to still be there at eleven in the morning. But she called anyway, and felt a little zing of electricity when he answered. The kind of zing telling her that her body was remembering their sexual chemistry better than her brain was remembering she was angry with him. “It’s Kasee,” she said, deliberately flattening her voice. “We need to talk.”

He unlocked the front door of the apartment complex for her without responding verbally. It buzzed and she pulled it open. She blanked her mind as she went up the elevator. Maybe she wouldn’t remember what she had to say, but at least she wouldn’t be jumping him either.

“Hi,” he said after he opened the door.

She refused to let herself peruse him, to remember how he tasted. His muscular arms, the pecs that molded the worn and almost too tight T-shirt he wore had no impact if she didn’t look.

“Did you leave something here? Do we need to run to a shot for the show?” he asked.

“I need to come in,” she said, not answering his questions.

“Okay.” He stepped back, confusion evident on his handsome face.

She walked in, hoping the studio didn’t still smell of their lovemaking. But the air was fresh. She saw the windows opposite her had been opened to the spring breeze. No sign of his traitorous activities was visible. Everything looked much the way it had been three or four hours ago, except that the futon had been folded back into a sofa, the sheets and blankets placed neatly on one end.

“Do you want to tell me why you did it?” she asked, her voice cracking on the last word.

“The photo, you mean?”

“Sure, the photo.” So he wasn’t going to deny it. Though, what had really bothered her was the insider information. She’d looked cute in the photo, once she got past the rage of being photographed without the armor of makeup on.

He offered her a shy smile. “Sorry. It’s how I process. Taking those photos made you feel real to me.”

“And selling them? Does that make it feel even more real?”

“I thought it was proof of our relationship. I’d have thought you’d be happy that one of them sold so fast. You’re back. Only a week ago you were begging for me to take your picture.”

Not for the first time, past foolishness came back to haunt her. “I see your point, but things have changed and we need to renegotiate.”

“You want the money? Or half? Or to stop paying for Johan’s caregiver?”

She shook her head impatiently. “I don’t care about the money, but I do care about the show.”

He frowned. “What?”

“We have to manage promo more carefully from now on, because most of the publicity needs to happen when the show airs,” she explained. “You pulled the trigger much too soon.”

His eyes widened. “I didn’t think about that.”

“It’s at least eight months before the show will come out.
