I understood that. It was disappointing to not see him now, but I would soon enough. “No big deal.”
Hunter took his place behind the wheel, and we were on our way.
“I’m curious,” I said. “What does a campaign manager do?”
He navigated lunchtime traffic downtown like a pro. “You manage Lyn’s place. What do you do?’
“Inventory. Scheduling. Opening and closing the shop. Anything Lyn tells me to.”
“There you have it.”
We both knew the work wasn’t that basic. “Anything Ramsey tells you to? Is this a paid position? Volunteer? Do you get paid to be his boyfriend?”
Hunter shot me a half-dry, half-amused look. “Volunteer. Never question that I serve him for free.” There was a hint of teasing in his voice.
“That’s fair. And don’t give me a glossed-over answer like that. You know I need details.”
“Something I adore about you.” He merged onto the freeway. “But details always depend on the situation. I make sure all the parts are clickingbehindthe scenes, so he can focus onthe scenes. I do the hiring. Scheduling. Inventory—banners, buttons, shirts. Whatever he needs that he’s not thinking of, because he’s focused on other priorities.”
Impressive. I let out an exaggeratedthat’s so sweetsigh. “So dreamy. I know most people think details are boring, but the way you talk about them is so sexy.”
He tapped me lightly on the nose. “You don’t have to win me over. I’m already there.”
“I wasn’t even thinking about that. I’m serious. I like a guy who has a grasp of how manyMiller for SenateT-shirts are in the back room.”
“I can’t tell you that off the top of my head or anything.”
“Uh-huh.” I let the disbelief drip from my retort.
Hunter sighed heavily. “Seventeen small, thirteen medium, thirteen large, and two XL’s. New shipment will be in Thursday.”
“See?” I asked playfully.
Hunter shook his head, but he was smiling as we pulled into the airport. He opened his mouth, and his phone rang, cutting him off. “You okay if I take this?”
“Of course.”
I listened to Hunter’s half of administrative details. I’d meant what I said—most people would find this boring, but I adored how on top of things he was.
As he talked, he turned the car toward a part of the airport I wasn’t familiar with, and parked us in an empty lot.
Security was nothing like I was used to. We were in and out in just a few minutes, and walking out the gate, to climb a short set of stairs to a small jet.
I stalled in the plane’s doorway. I’d never seen something like this in person—it was straight out of the movies, with the leather and wood and so much space for an airplane. Yeah, Ramsey and I had traveled a few times when we dated, and I thought First Class was opulent. But this was the family jet, and he hadn’t had access to it back then.
I guess he’dearned it.
“Hey.” Ramsey’s greeting jarred me from my awe. “Sorry I had to meet you here.”
Hunter stepped around me. “’S’all good.”
“Totally fine,” I said. Sometimes work demanded a little extra time and responsibility.
“Hey, handsome.” Ramsey tugged Hunter in for a long, heated kiss.
That he reached for Hunter first stung, butGoddesswas it amazing to watch.
Ramsey let Hunter go, and turned to me. “I’m glad you’re here.” His voice was low and smooth. He brushed his lips over mine, lightly enough to tempt and tease, then deepened the kiss. Desire sang over and through me, all the way to my core.
