“I don’t want to date Daniel Hunter.” I smile tightly, suddenly warm and a little claustrophobic but also deadly serious. Daniel is a creep.
Why does he have this knack of tilting me off keel? I don’t like it.
“He’s bad news with women.” He frowns at me, watching me closely and I have to look away for a second to stop the rise of heat running up inside of me and showing on my face.
“Bit like you then?” I smirk and catch the full width of that jaw-dropping smile from the corner of my eye. It’s unexpected and makes me smile too.
“I’m not bad news for women … I know how to treat them, whereas Daniel does not. He’s a typical playboy, he doesn’t care whose feelings he hurts.”
Irony.
He slips an arm around me, pulling me in against him, shielding me as we leave the elevator amid more flashes and clicks. This time I anticipate it and am more relaxed about the contact. I keep my eyes on the floor and try not to react to him, which is hard, considering he has me pressed very securely to that muscular frame and it’s not exactly unpleasant. He feels solid.
Outside I look up, blinking harshly as the sun glares cruelly at us and I lift my hand to shield my eyes. He slides his shades from his head onto my face in such a fluid movement that I’m taken by surprise and don’t react. He registers nothing on his face, just guides me to our car as it pulls up and he deposits me in the back before following me in. I suddenly get a little inkling of how the women he dates must feel; he’s attentive and in control, with great manners. He’s a gentleman. Pretty surprising for a guy who loves himself.
Very smooth, Carrero, unexpectedly smooth.
I hand them back in the dark confines of the car and he pushes them back on top of his head with a smile. A nothing but thanks kind of soft grin.
