Chapter Eighteen

Calla tossed the book to the floor, too distracted to read. She couldn’t get Nate out of her mind. There had to be a way to talk to him about that first DNA test without giving away what she knew. After what she’d seen on the news tonight though, she wasn’t sure if she’d be seeing him again or not. If the guy was happy to let some city council slag put her hands all over him in public, in front of news cameras no less, then he must not have had much interest in Calla.

But then what was he supposed to do, slap the bitch in front of all those people? While it might have been fun to watch that on a loop, the video of him getting arrested wouldn’t be quite so entertaining. It’s not like they had any kind of claim on each other anyway. A few kisses did not a commitment make. Nate was free to see other people if he wanted, and so was she.

Except she’d have Vadim breathing down her neck if she showed up at Sinsuality looking to party. Staying on the couch seemed like a much better plan.

A knock came from the door, too polite to be trouble.

“Calla, it’s Nate.”

She considered staying silent and letting him think she wasn’t home. He’d be able to see the light was on though. So what? She owed him nothing.

He knocked again. “Calla? Come on, babe, I know you’re home.”

Babe? Babe? What the hell was that? She jumped off the couch and rushed to the door, an angry retort on her lips.

Lips he immediately covered with his in a hungry kiss. Anger melting away, she responded with an equal intensity, practically climbing up his body to curl her hands around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist and picked her up, carrying her far enough into the room to get the door closed. His hands roamed her back as his lips moved down to her throat. Almost dizzy with need, she wanted him to keep going, carry her to the couch, the bed, hell, even the floor would do. She wanted his hands all over, his mouth to cool her heated skin or maybe set it all the way on fire.

They stumbled against the couch and for a moment she thought of pulling him down, but then she remembered two things: she was supposed to be angry with him, and she was supposed to get information from him. Neither thought sat well with her. She pushed him away, breaking the kiss. He let her drop to the couch, then sat next to her.

Looking entirely too pleased with himself, he said, “Hi.”

The temptation to crawl into his lap was almost too much. She shook her head to try to clear the lust. “Babe?”

He laughed. “Got you to open the door, didn’t it?”

“What are you doing here?”

He raised an eyebrow. “I wanted to see you. I was hoping you’d want to see me.”

“Sure
