CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Show & Tell

“Are you planning to do this every morning?” I asked Marcus, who currently had his arm draped over my shoulders as we walked to Denny Hall. It was drizzling, as usual, but I didn’t care.

“Why?” Marcus murmured, glancing down at me.

I shrugged. “I’d just like to know what to expect. I don’t like being disappointed.”

“And if I wasn’t waiting outside your apartment building to walk you to a classroom in which we would be spending the day together, would you be disappointed?” His tone was too unconcerned, too disinterested—he really wanted to know the answer.

“Oh, I don’t know . . . hmm . . .” I stopped walking in the middle of the cement path and rose on tiptoes to plant an undeniably steamy kiss on his lips, unconcerned that other people were passing around us. “Yes, Marcus,” I said, resuming our meandering pace. “I’d be very disappointed.”

“Well, then yes, I plan to do this every morning,” he replied. “That is, every morning until we wake up together.”

“I didn’t know you were planning on staying in Seattle for years,” I teased.

“Years,” he chortled, like it was the most ridiculous thing he’d ever heard. It was the most ridiculous thing I’d ever said. But still, he was a cocky bastard.

“Have you spoken to Alexander in the past few days?” I asked.

If Marcus was surprised by the drastic change of subject, he didn’t show it. “No, why?”

“So he doesn’t know that I know about you and the others?” And he doesn’t know we’ve been all over each other for the past two days?

“No,” Marcus said. There was something—many things to be sure—he wasn’t telling me. But then, there was something I wasn’t telling him.

“And the others on the team—they don’t know that I know they’re Nejeret, do they?”

“No.”

“Will you do me a favor?” I asked tentatively.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me askance. “That would depend on the favor.” Oh no, Marcus wasn’t on the verge of professing his undying love, to declare he’d do anything for the woman currently holding his attention.

“Just don’t let anyone know that I know about you and the others until tomorrow . . . please,” I added the last word for good measure. That was phase one of my plan.
