Chapter Seven

When Blane was safely behind his bedroom door, Courtney dragged herself up the stairs to get dressed. Her body and mind were in turmoil over their encounter, and she couldn’t quite make sense of it.

As she pulled a blouse and a pair of slacks out of her suitcase—not yet having had the time to hang anything in the closet—she thought back on all her experiences with Blane. The man was barely able to take care of himself, and it didn’t follow that he would just instantly be able to take care of a baby. Most guys she knew probably wouldn’t even do well around a child that could feed itself and use the bathroom. Had he always just been lazy before because he knew she would take care of everything for him? She didn’t like that idea.

But admittedly, Courtney also couldn’t quite explain why she was so angry at him for stepping up. She should be happy that he wasn’t actually leaving the entire burden on her, as she had expected. Blane’s talent for baby care had been flabbergasting and a little disconcerting, though. Maybe Courtney was just too possessive over a child that wasn’t even hers. She blamed her inner dragon as she brushed her hair into a quick ponytail that wouldn’t get in the way of Amanda’s spitup.

She paused while putting on her shoes as she heard Blane’s bedroom door open and close, her body tensing. Courtney had never been as close to a full-on shift near Blane as she had been when he’d held her against the wall. He hadn’t even pushed her; their bodies had simply moved in unison until there was no place else to go. Her cheeks heated as she finished with her shoes, remembering the way it had felt to be so close to him. He was a handsome man, and Courtney had known that even before she had begun working for him. Most celebrities were, and it was part of her job to ignore that. But when their bodies were so close, feeling the heat from his chest wrapping around hers, it was a much harder task.

His footsteps moved down the stairs. Courtney wondered for a moment if he had already arranged for his driver to take him to the set, and she automatically thought she needed to do that for him. But no, he had already shown her that he could be responsible when he wanted to be. It was her services that had allowed him to be so lazy in the past, and if he wanted to be stubbornly independent all of a sudden, then that was up to him.

Peeking out into the hall, Courtney made her way back downstairs once she knew the coast was clear. Amanda was still asleep in her bassinet, completely ignorant of the tension between her father and her makeshift nanny. The baby squirmed and stretched, her eyes slowly opening.

“Hello, sweetheart.” All of the venom in her voice had vanished, and she picked up that soft, warm body and held it in her arms.
