He shook his head. “I’m looking for you.”
“Oh. Do you need something?”
His gaze lowered to her throat. “Yeh.”
A tight little ball of nerves tickled her stomach, and she forced herself to walk toward him. “What?”
He blinked and looked back up into her face. Instead of answering, he asked, “Are you having a good time dancing with the guys?”
“They’re nice.” She’d have a better time with him. “I saw you talking to Ty Savage. Did you mean what you said about being grateful to him?”
“Maybe. He’s not too bad a guy.” One corner of his mouth lifted. “For an asshole.”
Her nervous laugh came out sounding a little breathy. “Did you see the ring he gave Faith Duffy?”
“Hard to miss that ring. It’s like he thought that if he bought it big enough, she’d have to say yes.”
“It’d be hard to say no to a ring like that.”
“A big ring doesn’t mean you’ll stay married.” He leaned his head back against the door and gazed at her from benƒat eath lowered lids. “Believe me. I know.”
He looked tired, his face a little drawn “Should I call the car service to come and pick you up?”
“No.”
“It’s not a problem.”
“Stop. I’m not helpless.”
“I know.” She opened her purse and pulled out her cell. “But if—”
“I drove.”
She looked up at him. “What?”
He raised one shoulder. “I drove.”
“Your car?”
“What else?”
She dropped the phone back into her bag. “If you couldn’t get a service to pick you up, you should have called me.”
“Chelsea…” He scrubbed his face with his hands. “I?
?ve been driving for a month now.”
“But…” She’d taken him to a doctor’s appointment the afternoon before. “But I drove you yesterday.”
“I know.” He dropped his arms to his sides.
“I don’t understand.” Either she was crazy or he was. She chose to believe the latter. “You hate my driving.”
“True, but I love the way your skirts slide up your thighs when you drive.” He reached for her hand and pulled her close. “What are you wearing under your dress?”
Maybe it was her, because she answered, “Nothing,” and she knew better. Knew exactly that it would make his gaze all hot and intense as he stared down at her.
It did too. “Don’t fuck with me.”
