Rook watched Cruz walk away and then turned and smiled atMaisy. She didn’t think she could handle the new Rook. She liked it better when she was considered a piece of mold on a garden gnome’s ass to Rook, it was much easier to handle her feelings. Now that he was being sweet, she didn’t know how to hide her infatuation that he so blatantly pointed out a while ago.

            “Did you have fun?”

            “What?” Maisy said trying to think about what the hell he was talking about because the only thing she could focus on was the way his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed. Whendid a damn’s Adam’s apple become sexy?

She loathed herself.

            He chuckled at her inability to focus. “The photo shoot, how did it go?”

            “Oh, good.” She felt herself flush.

            “Care to elaborate.”

            “Not really.”

            He nodded his head as he looked around.

            Damn this was awkward.

            “Maisy, come on.” Pete said while waving her toward a room in the back. Kaid and Willow were already walking away.

            “Ok.” She said while getting off her chair and walking past Rook. He grabbed her arm and turned her around so quickly she lost her balance and had to catch herself on his chest. She stood up quickly and brushed off her skirt which she had no clue why, it just seemed like the right thing to do at the moment.

            “Go out with me tonight.”

            “Excuse me?” If it was lady like, Maisy would have cleaned her ear out with her finger, cupped her ear and tilted her head toward Rook so she could hear him better, but she refrained herself.

            “We have an off night and I want to take you out.”

            “I don’t think that’s a good idea. The media…”

            “Won’t be involved.” Rook finished for her. “I don’t plan on going very far. Say yes.” His soulful blue eyes pleaded with her and she knew there was no way in hell she would be able to deny him tonight.
