“We have a problem.”
Nate’s deep voice washed over Eloise, but instead of the
deep timbre that always gave her goosebumps, his tone was
laced with panic.
“I need you …” he whispered.
Ooof. There went her heart. How many times had she imagined those
words falling from his pillowy, way-too-kissable-looking lips? She shook
herself free, shivering when his palm slipped to the small of her back. Score
a point for Alice, Eloise’s best friend, for insisting on the backless pale pink
dress with billowy sleeves and a thigh-high split that had forced Eloise to
think about her underwear choices very carefully.
“… to stop your grandmother from signing me up for Tinder.”
Okay. It wasn’t this exact moment she’d imagined happening.
She flashed a placating smile at her grandmother Joanie who winked at
them from across the living room of Eloise’s parents’ house. “The worst
thing you can do is show fear. She can smell it.” Eloise inspected her
fingernails for any traces of paint left underneath them. She’d switched her
afternoon client sessions for extra art classes at Kathleen’s Place—where
she was the in-house social worker and wannabe art therapist—in an
attempt to calm her own nerves about tonight’s festivities.
Eloise tilted her head towards Nate and swallowed the sigh that wanted
to burst out of her mouth. Christ, he looked good enough to eat. RIP to the
Tinder servers if Joanie ever succeeded in setting up his account. On
anyone else, a dark grey suit and Converse sneakers would look fine, but on
Nate? She regretted not bringing a fan with her to this ridiculous dinner
celebrating her brother Charlie’s upcoming wedding. She allowed herself
exactly three seconds to savour the hint of stubble along Nate’s jawline, the
way his Adam’s apple bobbed when he swallowed. His chin-length hair
curled at the ends, a few strands dipping over one eye as he leant towards
her.
It was official.
Seeing him in a tuxedo at the wedding was going to cause a tropical
weather event in her panties. Her brown eyes tangled with his whiskycoloured ones for a second before his gaze dropped to her feet.
His Adam’s apple bobbed again when he saw the skyscraper heels Alice
had also insisted she wear. She made a mental note to pick up several
bottles of Alice’s favourite rosé as a thank you.
“She wrote in my profile that I’m a retired tight hooker looking to
score.” Nate ran his hand through his hair. Would she ever be able to look at
him and not wonder if those chocolatey stra
nds would make excellent
reins?
“There’s no such thing as a tight hooker. Not in the NFL, which she
conveniently didn’t mention I played in, so it looks like … well, it looks
bad.”
Nate groaned softly, but Eloise was close enough to hear it, to feel his
breath on her skin.
This was such typical Joanie behaviour. A chuckle caught in the back of
Eloise’s throat, but she stopped it from escaping, schooling her face so it
was blank.
Nate glowered at her, but there was a whisper of his usual affable
personality when his lips twitched. “It’s not funny.”
