Chapter Sixteen

Elliot

Oh my God.

I just suggested he go rub one out in my bathroom.

What the actual fuck is wrong with me?

The man also was about to make a move and I pushed him away…

Okay, okay, I get that one, because it’s going to end in hurt, a world of it, for me if I kiss him again and it wouldn’t have been a kiss. It would have been a whole lot more and he makes me… He makes me feel alive.

Even though he never says the right thing. I don’t know why, and I don’t know what this is, except I want it from him. And I’m more than aware he wants me because he can’t have someone else. Anyone else. Hell, it might be built into his DNA to hit on a woman. I don’t know.

That hurts, but it also rocks my foundations a little.

Makes me unsure of myself. Which is ludicrous.

I’m confident. I know my place—I like my place. I like the shadows and staying there. I like quiet affairs of the heart with someone smart and level and who treats me with respect. I’m not unwanted, I’ve had partners, relationships. I’ve had men want me, and yes, I’ve turned men down.

But never one like Ryder.

I’m shaking, and I sink down to the floor, leaning my head back against the door.

Bottom line is it doesn’t matter if he wants me for me or because I’m a warm body whose mind he likes. If I let him, if he did it right, if he turned that Ryder on, the one who is so smooth and electrifying, I know he’d have me naked in moments.

No. I’d have me naked in moments. No matter what he meant, if anything at all.

And I hate that weakness.

I’m not weak.

Except when it comes to him.

How the hell am I going to get through the next three weeks?

Because I was dealing with the microcosms that keep cropping up when it comes to him. His scandal couldn’t have come at a worse time for him. Because the couple involved are famous. Worse, they’re hungry for it, and whether their marriage is real or fake, or over privately, in the papers and magazines and online it’s not. Opinion sways. That’s one reason I created the relationship for him with me.

That way I can control it. Sure, I tried to find someone, but this is better—for him.

But the way he looks, his history, his wealth, it’s all catnip to the paps. And he could spend a year as a monk and one article could keep him from reaching his goals. So I’ve got things in motion.

A soft tapping at my door draws me from my thoughts.

“Elliot?”

Crap. He’s all I need. The questioning tone I need even less. Because it’s vulnerable and confused and… And how does he do that? Flip the script?

I’m not even sure that’s what he’s doing, but it feels like it because he’s hotter than the sun and I’m…I’m me.

Someone who doesn’t fall for his kind.
