“No. It’s nothing.” Her wan smile didn’t reach her eyes. He’d much preferred the way they’d looked a few minutes ago when she’d barely recovered from her orgasm. “I mean, something, obviously. But we can talk about it later. After you’re done working. At home.”
“Are you sure?” Simon ignored the shout from his boss, telling him he was needed and his break was over.
Andi nodded. “I’m going to go find Reed, okay? I’m sure he’s still in the hallway right over there.”
“Text me as soon as you’re back together, please.” Otherwise he’d never be able to concentrate. The last thing Simon needed was to be distracted and fuck up a key athlete’s throwing arm or some shit like that.
Andi leaned in as if she was going to hug him or kiss him goodbye. Instead she lifted her hand in a limp wave before spinning on her heels and darting out the door that led to the main parts of the stadium.
A few moments later his phone buzzed, letting him know she’d reunited with Reed, who would ensure no physical harm came to her. Could he do anything to stop whatever had upset her, though?
Simon turned his attention to his players. His stomach was in knots the rest of the night, despite the fact that they crushed their opponents due to several glorious moves by the player he’d treated with an experimental technique earlier. Even worse, Marty Schone was nowhere to be seen. So Simon had to wait hours to find out what the hell was going on.
If it turned out that Andi had recognized Marty from Flesh, if the man had anything at all to do with the incident last year, Simon wouldn’t be nearly as friendly the next time they bumped into each other.
“Is this a massage or are you trying to beat me up?” the player he was working on post-game joked. “You’re supposed to chill out after you get some. Especially from a woman like the one Jerome saw you sneaking out of the supply closet with. Maybe you’re not doing it right. I could give you some pointers if you need a bedroom playbook…”
“Fuck you. We’re doing it just fine.” Simon was afraid that might be the only thing they were doing right in their relationship at the moment. After waiting months for Andi and the guys to come hang out at his work, he suddenly couldn’t wait to go home instead.
