She knew how dangerous it could be to fall into the trap of thinking that just because someone was handsome and charming they were a good guy.

No, there had to be another side to Gray. Some hidden flaws.

Maybe he was impotent.

She grinned at the thought.

“Something funny?”

She let out a small screech, placing her hand on her chest as she gaped at Gray in shock. He reached over and quickly slammed his hand down on the stop button on her treadmill.

“You okay?” he asked, reaching out to grasp her elbow.

Lacey snatched her arm back, feeling like an idiot as he stared at her incredulously.

Get a grip, Lacey.

“You frightened me!” she snapped at him. “Give someone a warning before you sneak up on them like that.”

“I didn’t think I was sneaking,” he said mildly. “I walked across the room. And I called out to you twice.”

He had? Shit. Well done, Lacey. Well done.

He narrowed his gaze as he studied her.

Lacey resisted the urge to stare down at herself. What was wrong? Had her boob come out of her crop top? Was there sweat pooling at her crotch, making it look like she’d peed her lycra shorts?

Don’t look down. Don’t look down.

“What is it?”

“Do I scar

e you?”

“Of course not. Why would you scare me?” she asked.

“I’m not certain. But you seem to run off every time I come near you.”

Shit. Shit. Shit.

“I’m just busy trying to do a good job. I don’t want to give Hunter an excuse not to keep me on.”

He just stared at her, clearly not buying a word she said.

“I’m going to seize up if I don’t stretch.”

Gray nodded. She could feel his eyes on her as she walked away.

Great. Way to blend in and not draw attention to yourself, Lacey. Awesome job.

Gray turned as he felt someone approach. Hunter wiped his sweating face with a towel as he stared after Lacey.

“What was that all about?”

Gray shook his head. “I don’t know. But that’s the most she’s said to me since she’s been here. Each time I see her, she practically runs the other way. I’m starting to think I smell or something.”

“You do. We’ve all just gotten used to it.”
