haven’t had much free time ourselves. I usually take time to get to know the people working with my crew well before we start.”
“That’s nice.” Nice? God, I was such a dweeb. “Umm...we should probably head back. I know Matt was looking for you.”
“I’m sure he was.”
“He’s probably looking for me now, too. Always wants to record what I’m doing. Like anyone is going to care what kind of muffin I’m eating.”
“You’d be surprised what people will want to know about you once you’re on TV.”
I’m not sure if the noise that escaped me was a sob or a squeal, but either way it wasn’t an attractive sound. Fynn broke out in a full-on grin. “You’re right. We should probably get back.”
We fell naturally into step together, each of us sipping our coffee as we went. I hadn’t a clue if he was feeling as awkward as I was and was waiting for me to break the ice, or if he was simply enjoying this silent form of torture. Either way, I needed to step up and face the music.
“So how much did you—”
“All of it.”
Fuck. “As in...”
“As in you like my ass. And my abs.” He tried to hide his grin by taking another sip of coffee, but I caught sight of it regardless.
“Sorry. That was out of line.”
He turned to face me as soon as we crossed the street. “For a minute I thought you knew I was there and were putting on a show.”
“Oh, God no!”
“That lovely blush is the reason why I’m not pissed. I can’t exactly say some of the guys on the crew haven’t been saying similar things about you. But I’ve made sure that they don’t get out of line.”
“What do you say to them?”
“I threaten to fire their asses if they don’t smarten the hell up and keep their eyes in their heads.”
I would have assumed he was simply being a smart boss, ensuring that I was made comfortable on the site, if it wasn’t for the quick pass of his gaze down along my body. A tingle went through me as though it wasn’t his gaze but a caress traveling down my naked skin. Fynn turned and started walking once more, leaving me to catch up.
“Well, I hope you’ll accept my apology and not encourage Carl to fire my ass.” There were other things Fynn could do to it though. Spank it. Squeeze it. Bite down on it.
“How about my male ego thanks you and we leave it at that.”
We walked in silence the rest of the way, but for the first time since I’d met Fynn, it didn’t feel awkward. The second we got back to the site, Matt came jogging over.
“Where the hell have you two been? Fynn, I need you in the house. The abatement team is here and Brian wants this on film.”
“Just needed a fix. I’ll be there in a minute.”
“You have five, but any longer and I think Brian might actually freak out.”
Matt was barely out of earshot when my big mouth opened up. “Once more we are torn apart. Our secret tryst disrupted by the chaos of our lives.”
That earned me a throaty chuckle. “Matt’s a jerk.”
“He means well. I think he’s got Brian after him most days. And poor Brian has Carl breathing down his neck most of the time. That would pretty much turn anyone into a jerk.”
“Umm.”
Instead of simply drifting apart and going back to our respective jobs like normal people would, we both lingered for a moment. You know that first date vibe, where you’re not sure what to do or say because the stuff in your head is so inappropriate it would embarrass future generations? We totally had that going on.
Fynn patted the side of his thigh with the hand that held the sandwich, making a rattling noise. “I better get going.”
“Yeah. I have to check some numbers so I can place my orders for the hardwood.”
“Okay good.”
“Yup. So, I’ll see you around.”
“M’kay.”
My courage finally gave up and I marched toward my makeshift office in the house. I didn’t even bother to look to see if he’d gone or if he watched me go. I couldn’t, because that would make things even harder for me. I needed time and space to figure out the growing problem that was Fynn.
