“A boner.”
I shake my head. “You’re such a…” I trail off and then smile. “Smartass.”
He touches his chest mockingly. “Ça fait mal.”That hurts.
“Je suis content.”I’m glad.
His grin only grows. “They could have chosen anything else to label me, you know. Genius would have been my number one pick.”
“Pretentious,” I argue.
“Or popular…”
“Conceited,” I continue.
He flashes another smile. “Handsome.”
My eyes flit from his white button-down that fits him perfectly to his deep blue eyes. “Maybe.”
He takes a sip of his wine and waves me to keep going. “I have youalmostgiving me a compliment, why stop now?”
Our banter sets a fire underneath my heart. I could kiss him. But I regretfully turn towards the big screen. I realize I missed my response to thewhipsorhandcuffsquestion, which was evasive anyway. And Lily most likely gave her perfunctoryuhhhh.
Now the guys are being asked a series of questions, cut together like our interviews.
Loren glares, waiting impatiently for Savannah to ask him something.
“Blondes or brunettes?”
Lo stares harshly. “Brunettes.”
“I don’t give a sh*t about hair color,” Ryke says, his forearms on his thighs as he sits on the leather chair.
Connor is seated with his ankle on his knee, leaning back like a CEO of a multi-billion dollar company. He has his fingers to his jaw in mock contemplation. “What happened to redheads?”
Savannah clears her throat.She has red hair.“Or redheads.”
“What about gray hair?” His eyes flicker up a little. He’s staring at Scott, who stands off screen. “You’re forgetting black hair too. And purple, blue, orange?—”
Lo is back, glaring.
“Wow,” Lo says, his hand on Lily’s head, still concealed in his shirt. “They cut off your little rant, Connor. How’d that feel?”
“Chapped,” Connor says easily.
“Come here, I’ll rub your ass for you.”
Connor smiles into his sip of wine. But it must be annoying that Scott has the power to shut him up with a simple edit. I can see his irritation in the tight muscles of his jaw.
“Who’s the messiest?”
“Ryke.”
“Me.”
“Ryke.”
“Have you ever been with a man before?”
