Clearly he wasn t having the same emotional tornado tear through him that she was.
Perfect. Okay. See you around. Kendall gave him the thumbs-up and turned to leave.
Dear Lord. She had given him the thumbs fucking-up. Could she feel any stupider?
Bye, Jay.
Yes. Yes, she could.
Kendall just waved over her shoulder and kept going, not trusting herself to turn around. Her
cheeks were burning, and she decided that she still hated Evan Monroe just a tiny small bit.
CHAPTER SEVEN
WHAT exactly do you have to smile about? Eve said.
Evan sat in the office that his family used to manage his and Elec s driving careers and tried to
squelch the grin on his face. Nothing. Just the most amazing sex of the decade, that was all. He
could still picture Kendall on top of him, feel her body sluicing over his . . .
Something pinged him on the arm, knocking him out of his reverie. Hey! Eve had thrown a paper
clip at him. What was that for?
For wearing a shit-eating grin when you just had the biggest setback to your career. I mean what
could you possibly be smi
Eve s crossed leg fell down onto the floor. Oh, my God. You had sex last night, didn t you? That s
why you re Mr. Happy this morning.
There was no point in denying it, so Evan just remained silent. He d let Eve have her rant for a
minute or two then he d rein her in.
What is it with you men? Does sex trump everything?
What planet had she been living on? Yes.
Pretty much, Elec agreed from his position on the couch. He had been thumbing through a
magazine but piped in with his support.
Not that I m saying I had sex. But I had a date. It wasn t his style to kiss and tell.
Did anyone see you with her? Are there going to be pics on a blog with some barely legal
stripper?
I resent that. I have never dated a stripper. Or anyone barely legal once I was past twenty-one
myself. Neither appeals to me in any way. There were limits to the insults he d take. But then he
realized claiming a stripper would probably earn him less grief from Eve than the truth.
Well, thank God. Is she anyone I know?
Evan coughed. I think you might know her, yeah. And normally he wouldn t admit a damn thing,
but for all he knew there was a blog going up right now about Kendall and him being in that bar.
Written by Tuesday Jones, probably. He could deny it, but that would just piss Eve off more.
His sister tucked her hair behind her ear and narrowed her eyes. Who is it?
It might have been Kendall Holbrook.
Eve s jaw dropped. Elec gave a low whistle from the couch.
You had sex with Kendall Holbrook?
I m not admitting anything, only that I went out for a drink with her last night.
Are you crazy? Eve s voice had shot up two octaves. When did you become the mayor of
Moron-ville?
Trust his sister to find an insult that infuriated him, even when he vowed to stay calm. What s the
big deal? It was one drink! Then a whole night of naked.
Do I need to remind you that your very existence in the cup series is in jeopardy? And that
Kendall Holbrook is this season s novelty? She has the media crawling up her ass twenty-four
seven.
Well, not quite.
And drivers like her are the reason you lost your sponsorship. She has siphoned off attention from
all of you guys in the middle of the pack, and for that reason alone she could be the enemy. But more
to the point, if the two of you are seen together, it looks bad. You look like a boot licker.
I don t know about that, Elec said. I don t think anyone would see it as anything more than just a
juicy piece of gossip.
Great, thanks. Evan felt the warm fuzzies he d woken up with evaporating.
Everyone loves a good track romance.
They do? Evan never paid attention to that kind of stuff. Mainly because he d been avoiding the
whole concept of relationships, jealous of other people s happily ever afters.
Of course they do. But the bigger issue here is distraction. If you re feeling the love for Kendall,
is your competitiveness going to be compromised?
Evan didn t hear anything past love. What? What love? It was one drink! And a night of hot
monkey sex.
But the L word scared the crap out of him.
I remember when you and Kendall broke up the first time around, Eve said, leaning back in her
chair and sticking her legs up on her desk, her shiny black boots moving up and down like she was
wagging her finger at him. It wasn t pretty.
We were kids then. Everything was drama. We re just hanging out, getting to know each other as
adults. As equally horny adults. Evan shifted on his chair, feeling a little uncomfortable with the
erotic memories dancing through his head. If he got a boner in front of his sister he was going to be
embarrassed as hell. Plus she would mock him for the rest of his natural life.
Yes, there was drama. You were awful, moping around, calling her every five seconds, crying. I
wanted to smack you to make it stop, but it would have been like kicking roadkill.
Evan felt a little kicked right now. Your sympathy is overwhelming, as always.
Ease up, Eve, Elec said, his voice mild but firm. You had your share of heartbreak when you
were a teenager. That shit hurts.
His brother had always been the softer touch, and right now he appreciated it. Thanks, bro.
Eve sighed. God, I hate it when you deflate my anger. Can t you just let me be pissed at you?
Grinning, Evan flicked the paper clip back at her. No one can stay mad at me. Look at Kendall. It
only took ten years, but now we re talking again. No one can resist my immense charm.
His sister snorted. Seriously, stay away from the cameras. Don t let this get turned into a big deal.
Be careful not to be photographed. And most of all, do not, I repeat, do not let this turn into drama.
Do not let it affect your driving, your focus. And do not engage in some kind of nasty public breakup
with Kendall.
There s nothing to break up. We re just friends. If he told himself that enough, eventually he d
start to believe it. The truth was, he wasn t sure they were even friends, but he knew that he wanted a
repeat of last night as soon as possible. Eve didn t need to know that. [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
