Chapter Ten

Apparently when you mixed hours of hard work at the studio and hot nights with Leah, time sped by. Zach felt like he’d blinked, and a week had passed. Apparently Leah’s theory had been right on the money. Things were easier between them while they were working—no more awkward pauses. But now he had a new problem, namely, that he had to work pretty damn hard to keep his hands off her. Which was a whole other kind of distraction.

They worked hard, but his attention still wandered. He found himself watching her, caught by the spill of dark hair down her shoulders or the curve of her mouth as she laughed or the way her hands cut through the air excitedly when she talked. But he wasn’t the only one who had more than just music on his mind. He caught Leah watching him too, and then their eyes would meet and the air would go thick and hot and still around them while color rose in her cheeks.

So far they’d managed to keep their hands off each other while they were working. Leah had put her foot down about fooling around in the studio, saying it was too risky—too easy for someone to come in and catch them. And lust was a lot easier to deal with when he knew that he’d have her in his bed again when they were done for the day. So he’d contented himself with hot looks and just enjoying being with her, and then waited for her to appear at the door of the guesthouse each night.

But on Thursday night Leah, having spent almost every night or part of it with him since they’d first gotten together, had left him to his own devices. She had to go home for a family dinner for her parents’ anniversary. Not an event that Zach could easily muscle in on without raising the sorts of questions from Leah’s folks that neither of them wanted to answer.

So he found himself at loose ends. And, naturally enough, ended up drifting back around to Billy’s house to hang out with Eli. He’d sort of fallen off the face of the earth for the last week, and hoped Eli and Billy wouldn’t have been wondering too hard about why.

But neither of them seemed particularly surprised to see him when he strolled out onto Billy’s deck to join them sometime around seven. Eli simply passed him a beer and pointed to the pizza boxes on the table. “Grab some if you haven’t eaten.”

“Thanks,” Zach said, scooping up a piece. He’d eaten lunch at some point, but the afternoon had sped by while he and Leah had wrestled the bridge of his current song into submission. He devoured the pizza in about five bites and reached for another slice.

“I was wondering when you were going to emerge from the depths of that studio,” Eli said with a grin. “I was starting to think that Leah must be a total slave driver.”
