Maybe that was what fame did to you: made you paranoid that none of your private moments would ever be private again.

He wasn’t being difficult because he disliked her.He was being difficult because he liked her a little too much.

He’d never really been a foot guy, but coming around the corner and spying her bare feet dangling off the arm of his sofa, he suddenly understood why so many perverts were trying to google them.

He was stone sober, but he felt drunk on Grey. Drunk on her scent, her sighs, her soft skin beneath his hands.

Grey dashed into the bedroom and rifled through her bag, pulling out her sunglasses and a baseball cap. She tossed them on as she came out into the living room. “Gotta go incognito, ya know?”Ethan nodded gravely. “Naturally. I think I have a fake mustache in my dopp kit, if you need it.”Grey laughed. “I’m not sure if I’m…

“ ‘Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.’ ”“That’s not a question.”“You can email them to complain later.”

His breath was ragged, shallow. “This is a bad idea.”She sat back up so they were face-to-face.“Why?

Is that bad?”“Maybe you need to unplug it and plug it back in again,” Kamilah giggled.“I think I just need to return it. It’s obviously defective.”

He ducked his head and smiled, color rising to his cheeks. She realized she’d never seen him blush before. It was so damn charming she thought her heart would explode.
