“Now, now, the place would the enjoyable be in telling you? I’d moderately make you sweat. Sizzling and bothered is an effective look on you,” he drawled as he gently pushed my arm away, and the doorways slowly slid closed.

My mouth gaped as I watched the doorways shut, taking Dawson as much as third flooring, leaving me stiff, scorching, and stuffed with panic.

I can’t fuck this up.

This is likely to be closest I ever get to a date with Dawson Richards.

As a result of it wasn’t a date by any means. Dawson was a person of his phrase, and I’d gained honest and sq.. It was simply good sportsmanship, nothing extra.

Even when I wished it to be…

So, as I gathered myself and headed down the corridor to my residence, I promised myself I might do no matter it took to make the one shot I had completely excellent.

CHAPTER 9

Dawson

I’d by no means been so relieved to be lower off by an elevator in my life.

I simply couldn’t appear to assist myself round Nolan. I preferred pushing his buttons, throwing him off guard and inflicting somewhat chaos to his day by day routine, I might admit that at the least.

However there was a second, in that elevator the place I’d forgotten who we have been, the place we have been.

As I leaned towards the wall, staring down at these pouty, excellent lips, I believed fuck, that is it. That is my sexual harassment go well with within the making.

I sighed because the doorways opened on my flooring, thanking the heavens above for the transient second of actuality.

My physique was flushed, nonetheless scorching, and I used to be sure it wasn’t completely from the run.

As soon as in my residence, I might calm down. Or at the least, that’s what I meant on doing. Bathe, clear up a bit, possibly get some take out earlier than I headed again to the firehouse. I stared at my telephone on the counter, feeling somewhat antsy.

It’d been a bizarre fucking day, and part of me wished to name my greatest buddy and dish about all of the grade A tea. About that hot-as-hell telephone name, Nolan exhibiting up at my brother’s… that hot-as-hell race, and me almost dropping all my fucking marbles in that rattling elevator.

However part of me additionally knew that Cade was in that new relationship haze.

Which meant for him nothing would matter besides the person he was all twitterpated for in the mean time; a person who was truly good for him. I wished issues to essentially work out for them.

I wasn’t mendacity after I stated what I did at M’s Place the opposite night time. I wished to see my ex turned bestie calm down and have the life he at all times wished. I sighed, shaking my head.

What about what I wished?

Did I need some white picket fence, brunch on Sundays form of life that everybody round right here appeared accustomed to?

I swear, typically it’s just like the Stepford Wives up in right here.

I’d at all times identified what I didn’t need. However understanding what I did need… I wasn’t so certain what that was.

There was a form of rhythm to being a bachelor. To residing life the best way I had, with out attachments. I’d had boyfriends, certain, however I hadn’t been on a date someplace like Sedona shortly. I knew instantly I’d wished to take Nolan there, not solely as a result of I knew it might shock him—I doubted the pencil pusher had been anyplace just like the five-star restaurant within the metropolis that’s well-known for its cocktails and it’s flaming tower dessert—however as a result of for some motive I couldn’t clarify… I wished to impress him.

I wished the possibility to indicate this ache within the ass that I wasn’t just a few dumb, charismatic asshole who lived to make his life hell.

Though I do get pleasure from raining hell down on him.

Why do I care what Nolan Harding thinks of me?

I slid out of my shorts, groaning in defeat as I headed for the toilet, the cool air of my residence kissing my pores and skin.

I knew the reply, even when I didn’t wish to admit it.
