“He’s not invited,” Tomas joked.
I turned my head back and laughed.
We headed toward Café Renault. Tomas greeted his cousin Elise that was now working there. She gave us a seat outside. He lit a cigarette while I texted Laurence.
Nadia: At Renault’s with Tomas
Laurence: Good. I’m hungry. I’ll be there soon.
Tomas didn’t take a drag. “I’m giving them up again.”
“Good for you.” I smiled, and Elise brought us coffee. “Thank you.”
Tomas grinned. “It’s good you’re here. Paris suits you better.”
“Does it? But you barely saw me in New York City.” I stirred in sugar.
“Yes, that was fun. Cecil and I are still amused by it all.”
Tomas and Cecil had been at my place when Sophie visited and witnessed her bending over naked in front of Paul. She’d behaved awfully, but I had never thought she hated me. Until the boat.
“Your smile is gone. I didn’t mean what happened at your home. Dad loved yelling at the chefs. He’s already missing the show.”
I swallowed. “I’m fine…old memories.”
“Okay.” He took a sip of coffee. “So, what do you think of Hayden?”
I shrugged. Kind of an asshole. “I love his designs.”
Tomas’s grin went from coy to playful. “Are you attracted?”
I cringed. “No.”
He lifted his brow. “Why not? He’s an ex-super model. Good-looking and very sexual.”
My mouth dropped open. “How do you know?”
“No secrets stay hidden.” Tomas grinned.
My brows furrowed. “But we work together.”
Tomas shrugged. “So?”
“Doesn’t matter. I don’t want him or anyone else. Paul and I…I don’t know.” I stared at my cup. Yes, you do. He left.
“Well, if Paul’s still with you, he should come and satisfy you sexually. You look sad; sex will cheer you up. Tell him if he doesn’t, you’ll take a lover.”
“Threaten him with unfaithfulness to get him to return to me? Ha. I would never.” I scoffed.
“Why not? It’s just for sex, not love. And if you get back together, he can’t hold it against you.”
“I can’t tell him that….” Can I? Paul, you better come here and fuck me now or else. What would he do? He’d show up, strip me, strap me down to a bed and fuck me for hours. My skin tingled and heated. Shit.
“You’re blushing and smiling. See? Do it. He won’t refuse.”
I grinned, letting the fantasy of Paul showing up to have sex with me go for a few moments. I kind of liked the idea, but touching him, especially knowing I couldn’t keep him, would do more damage to my well-being. “As much as I would love it, it would only complicate things. It would never work.”
His smile turned impish. “It does.”
