I looked beyond her. Jack was sitting on the couch, bags of In-N-Out littered the coffee table, and he wasn’t alone.
Fuck.
ELEVEN
The blonde from last night was sitting in Wilson’s suite looking awfully comfortable, freshly showered with her hair still wet and wearing a hotel robe.
What the hell?
Why would Wilson bring me here after he’d…
“Catarina,” Wilson grunted. “What are you doing here?”
The woman arched a perfectly manicured eyebrow.
Now that she was out of her pretty, sparkly dress and wasn’t made up she looked even younger than she had last night.
Jack popped a fry in his mouth and smiled as he chewed.
“Morning, Atlee,” he greeted.
“Um… morning.”
“Are you going to introduce us?” Catarina asked. “Or are you going to let your girlfriend stand there thinking we’re having an affair?”
I felt Wilson’s hands on my hips flex.
“Atlee, this is Catarina,” he said but offered no more.
Interestingly enough he didn’t correct the girlfriend comment.
“I’m just a friend.”
Wilson’s fingers dug in.
“Nice to meet you, friend.” Catarina smiled. “And call me Cat.”
Jack rolled his eyes.
“Cat’s working a job with us.” He picked up his burger. “If I knew you were coming back I would’ve gotten your order.”
Wilson grunted and pushed me farther into the living room.
“Have a seat, princess. I’ll make some coffee.”
He let me go and I watched his long, powerful strides take him into the full kitchen. The suite was well appointed, but my hotel’s suites were better.
Jack pointed to the chair next to him.
“I don’t bite,” he reminded me.
“Is that your best pick-up line?” I asked.
My legs felt wooden as I made my way to the chair.
I still had no idea why Wilson had brought me here. He was silent on the drive over. Actually he looked like he was brooding.
“If he values his life, he’ll stop talking about biting you,” Wilson clipped.
