Then she glances over at me and glares.
“Damn. She really hates you,” Roxy says behind her tablet, which covers her mouth.
“That ship has sailed.” I shake my head.
“Ladies, where are we at?” Alexandra walks over. She must have just arrived.
“Great. They’re just securing the runway, and then we can do a few test runs over it,” I say. “Roxy you can go first.”
“Huh.” She laughs loudly. “It’s you they want to see in a wet t-shirt competition.”
Johnny overhears and shoots us a grin.
“I’m sure no one will complain if both of you fall in together.” He winks at us.
Alexandra shakes her head and smiles.
“We’re nearly done,” Johnny says, standing. One of his team members from the other end of the pool yells out, “Correction, we are done.”
Roxy taps her tablet.
“The rest of the setup will happen in the morning,” I tell her. “As long as that thing holds, we are ready to go.”
“Excellent work. So, go on girls. Strut your stuff.” She waves at the pool. “Go have some fun. You’ve all done a great job.”
“No way. I’m not walking over it.” I hold up my hands.
“Come on, chicken.” Roxy drops the tablet and tugs me over while Johnny laughs. She steps up and starts walking across it, pretending to be a model while Cody pretends to be the MC.
“Nope.” I shake my head again, but Johnny scoops me up and places me on the steps, then he’s behind me and tapping me on the behind.
“Go on. Be brave.”
“Fine.” I smile and turn to slap his hands off my ass, but something catches my eye.
Or rather, someone.
Knox Montgomery.
Glowering at me with his arms crossed and legs astride.
“Fuck,” I say and start walking.

“Take a look around. I just need to take this call,” Alexandra says to me, but I barely hear her and I’m already striding alongside the pool toward Payton.
My vision is blurry. I’m so filled with anger.
It has nothing to do with the little red sundress she’s wearing and everything to do with the way that soon-to-be-unemployed guy had his hands on her ass.
How fucking dare he touch her?
Payton climbs down the steps after walking the catwalk over the pool and speaks to Roxy.
