DOING LONDON
by Chloe Blaque
Before I closed the door, Marco stepped into my field of
vision and grinned. “So, you don’t work at the café?”
Those dark eyes were so close that my brain skipped.
“No.” I gulped. My fingers itched to skim over the tattoos
on his arms. Without the counter in between us, I could tell that his upper
body was cut to perfection. I expected his lower body was even more powerful.
My skin heated and my heart thumped, a sensation I hadn’t felt in literally
years—attraction. No directors, no grips, no script, just pure sexual magnetism
between a man and a woman.
“I like your cakes,” he said. I wondered if he was being
cheeky, the word “cakes” a euphemism for butt cheeks in the States.
“Grazie,” I said, trying to keep my gaze from roaming all
over his body. His smile was dazzling.
“You spoke Italian at the café. It’s pretty good.”
“It’s probably because of my Spanish.”
“Ahhhh. But you’re American, si?” he said as his gaze
searched my face.
“Yes. Puerto Rican, actually,” I said, gripping the door a
little harder. He filled the doorway, blocking out everything else but him.
A production assistant shouted for Marco. They were starting
his segment. He whipped his head toward the PA and then turned back to me, his
eyes intense. “I will see you later, yes?”
See him later? The audacity of this guy. To assume that just
because he was a celebrity, and smoking hot, that I would sleep with him. And
he’s engaged.
“I’m not interested,” I said firmly. All I needed was a
whiff of a scandal, and boom. Life over.
His brow furrowed. “In the kids or me?”
Kids? What kids?
The PA called for him again, and he leaned toward me. His
cologne smelled amazing. “I will see
you tonight,” Marco said and walked off.♥
