“Good,” he whispered back on an arm squeeze then I got another one that didn’t relax in a way that felt different and I pulled my head back to look at his profile.
He was focused on something that was not me and I twisted my head to see Hulk gesturing to him.
I felt Knight move and saw the end of a chin jerk then his eyes came to me.
“You gotta go,” I said softly.
His eyes moved over my face then back to mine.
“Yeah,” he replied softly.
I tipped my head to the side. “See you later?”
“Definitely.”
I smiled.
His eyes moved to my mouth, he leaned in and brushed his lips against mine.
Then he pulled back and locked our eyes.
“Did you wear the red for me?”
For some reason I felt timid suddenly but still I answered, “It’s your favorite color.”
I was rewarded immediately. His face got soft, his eyes got dark and his beautiful lips whispered, “Baby.”
And I instantly decided I was adding a lot more red to my wardrobe.
Then before I knew it, I was on my feet, my hand in his and he led me to Vivica.
“You’re on duty,” he informed her.
She smiled huge and he trailed his fingertips across my hip as his eyes held mine a second.
Then he was gone.
“I… fucking… love him,” Viv announced and my eyes went from where I last saw Knight to her.
Quick judgment.
Shocker.
“All the intel isn’t in yet,” I reminded her. “And you’ve been in his presence, like, a second.”
“Girl, this is what I know, that guy would have to be a freakin’ terrorist for me not to… love him.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Uh… that dress?” she answered.
Point well made.
“The look on your face right now,” she went on.
Another good point.
“The fact that he walked through a club that’s filled with beautiful people, most of them women, and from the instant I spotted him to the instant he left he only had eyes for you.”
