“How much older? Ten years?”
“Thirteen.” She knew that because she’d had to file a document for him. She hadn’t been snooping exactly, his date of birth had been right there, so of course she’d peeked.
Cass scoffed. “That’s nothing. I once dated a guy twenty years older than me, and honestly, I felt like I was the more mature one.” Cass lowered her glass and her eyes locked on something behind Addie. “No way. Speak of the devil.”
“What?” Addie turned her head and gasped.
Noah.
She blinked. Once. Twice. Nope, he was still there.
He wore a tight gray shirt that was almost the exact shade of his eyes, and jeans that, although not tight, still showed off the power in his legs. But then, there probably wasn’t much that could hide that.
Colt and his wife, Indie—also Noah’s sister—stood with him.
Cass blew out a breath. “Those men arefine.”
That was an understatement.
Colt spotted her and Cass first. He waved before saying something to the others. Indie smiled at them and started in their direction. Whereas Noah? The second his gaze collided with hers…he didn’t look angry, but then, he didn’t look happy either.
Well, that told her all she needed to know on his thoughts about the kiss.
The three of them stopped at the table, Noah beside Addie.
Colt smiled at them. “Hey. Good to see you guys here.”
Cass dipped her head. “You too. Thought you’d be too tired after all that zip-lining today.”
“Could say the same about you and your bouldering,” Colt added.
Indie scoffed and rubbed her pregnant belly. “Peanut and I are tired just hearing about it.”
As the three of them spoke, Addie looked up at Noah and lowered her voice. “I didn’t see much of you today.” Or yesterday. Or the day before that.
“I took a big group out for mountain bike riding.”
She knew that. She’d made the booking. She also knew that the ride had only lasted two hours.
“Did you find your key?” he asked.
“Actually, no. I’m using my spare. I’m not sure what happened to it. I must have dropped it somewhere.”
“At work?”
“Maybe. I’m sure it’ll turn up.” She nibbled on her bottom lip. Noah’s gaze immediately lowered. And the way he looked at her made her lower belly pulse.
“Addie—”
“You don’t need to say it,” she cut him off, voice quiet so the words would only reach him.
His brows flickered. “Say what?”
“Tell me it was a one-time thing. Say something about how I’m a great person but for this and that reason, we can’t repeat what happened.”
“I wasn’t going to say any of that.”
“What were you going to say?”
