Chapter 13

Trey jumped out of the limo and knocked on the door to Sea and Song. Lights were out already, the store closed, but he could see a dim light on the stairs that led to her apartment above. He waited. He’d texted her about his arrival. She’d be down. And he was nervous. So much at stake for him here, for her. But above all, he didn’t want to lose what had just begun between them. A connection like theirs didn’t happen every day.

She dinged she was coming. Her apartment door opened, and she stepped down onto the stairs. A high-heeled shoe. A pantleg. As she descended, he recognized again how long and sleek she was. Pants gave way to her suit coat and then a beautiful profile of a woman he’d be scared to encounter in a board room. Her hair was pulled back off her face, and her beauty at once seemed less artistic and flowy and more powerful. He regretted his sports coat and wished he’d dressed more formally. He thought of his two favorite power suits. And then laughed. Was this negotiations or dinner with a beautiful woman? From the looks of her, it was negotiations.

He held out the door. “Miss Redding.”

She faltered. Then straightened. “Mr. Hemsworth.”

His eyebrows shot up.

She smirked. “I didn’t know I was in the company of Beauty Foundations’s cover child.”

Oh, boy.

He bowed. “And I was unaware that the heir of Within Cosmetics lived above her own shop in Cancun.”

He held the door open to their limo and took a deep breath. He had no idea where this was going, but he suddenly missed Jake. Of the two, his partner was the better negotiator. Joining her inside, the driver closed their door and Trey chuckled.

She raised an eyebrow. Wow. She was something. And he fell for her all over again on a whole new level. He scooted closer. “This is a good look for you.”

“Is it?” She tried to wear the business mask, but he saw the spark of appreciation she tried to hide.

“Absolutely. I’d want to make sure we were on the same side, but you rock this look.”

She smiled, a victorious glint and daring taking over. “What side we are on is still to be determined.”

“Hmmm. So, perhaps competitors?”

She searched his face, and everywhere her gaze traveled sizzled. “We might be competitors.” She reached for his hand and interlocked their fingers. Awareness hammered through him. “Or we might be teammates.”

“Or co-conspirators?”

Her eyes flashed to his, then she lifted one shoulder. “Or, just…two people lucky enough to meet in Mexico.” Her expression changed, and the vulnerability tore through him. All his protective instincts kicked in, and he squeezed her hand. “And that’s what I’m going for. That last bit.”

She sighed and looked out the window. “Perhaps. But only for a few more days.”

“Why?”

“Well, then you go home.”

“And you aren’t?”

She shook her head.

He was floored. How could she not return? After all that was going down, she would just ignore it? “We need to talk.
