Chapter fourteen

With a whistle and a spring in his step, Adam locked the door of his SUV and headed toward the front door of the studio. It was almost eight o’clock on Wednesday night, and he couldn’t wait to see Violet again. Couldn’t wait to dance with her again. Couldn’t wait to …

His cock jerked in his shorts at the thought of taking her again in the studio, in front of all the mirrors. Would she do another little striptease for him?

Still whistling a tune to some show Mira was obsessed with, he opened the door, sighing immediately when the cool breeze from the air-conditioning hit the top of his head. It’d been a warm day, and he welcomed the goosebumps that chased across his arms.

Music from inside the studio said the class wasn’t over yet, so he sat down on the bench in the waiting room, brought out his phone and checked some emails.

Thoroughly engrossed in an email from a lab up in Canada about getting some samples from them, he didn’t hear the changing-room door close.

“Adam?”

His head popped up from his phone. “Paige? I thought you worked Wednesday nights?”

“Switched to Thursdays. What are you doing here?”

“Uh … ” His eyes darted to the dance studio door. The music had stopped, and he could hear the murmurs of the dancers getting closer. “I’m, uh … ”

The door opened, and out came a bunch of women of various ages, followed at the end by Violet.

Paige’s light brown eyes darted back and forth between Adam and Violet, then suddenly understanding glimmered in the flecks of gold, and she nodded. “Ah.”

Adam sighed. “I was going to tell you.”

Paige smiled, reached out and put a hand on Adam’s shoulder. “It’s okay. We’re divorced. You don’t have to tell me everything.”

“Divorced?”

Ah fuck.

Adam’s gaze swung to Violet. “Paige is my ex-wife. Mira’s mother.”

Violet’s green eyes narrowed and pinned on Paige. “Why didn’t you tell me your daughter danced here?”

Paige lifted a shoulder, then pulled the pins out of her hair and let the dark curls tumble past her shoulders. “I don’t know. I … I just didn’t want it to be about Mira. I wanted this dance class to be about me. It’s something I’m doing for myself.”

Adam’s eyes perked up. “Your creative outlet?”

Paige nodded. A small smile drifted across her face. “Yeah.”

“And is it helping?”

Another smile, this one bigger and adding a real sparkle to her eyes, bringing out all that gold. “Yeah. I’m really enjoying it. I think it’s helping.”

Adam’s gaze fell to Violet. “Well, you have a wonderful teacher.”

“This isn’t going to be weird now, is it?” Violet asked, his compliment falling by the wayside. She seemed strange. Guarded and closed off. What was up?

Paige shook her head. “No. I mean, I didn’t know that you were seeing Adam, but I still want to take the class if you’ll let me? I’m not jealous or upset, if that’s what you’re wondering.”

Adam took a step toward Violet. She bristled. What the hell?

“Our divorce was amicable,” he said, wanting to reach out to her.
