“Taylor!” Surprised to hear my name, I turn in time to see Jack walking towards me.
My stomach flips at the sight of him, looking sexy in a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt, the hair that I ran my fingers through, now freshly washed and still damp.
“I didn’t expect to run into you.”
“I’m glad you did.” Jack stops beside me, a grin on his handsome face. “You look beautiful,” he says, his gaze taking in the outfit I chose to keep Chandler happy.
I hate it. “Thank you. I was at a luncheon earlier,” I explain.
Memories of last night wash over me — Jack taking me against the wall, then again in his bed and everything in between. I shift from foot to foot, my panties suddenly wet.
“Are you looking for this?” He slides his hand into the front of his jeans’ pocket and pulls out my earring. “I found it on the floor this morning.”
“Oh, thank goodness.”
He drops it into my hand, his fingers brushing over my palm, and a zing travels through my veins. I swallow hard. “They were a… gift and I’d have been so disappointed if I lost one,” I lie. I’m just glad it gave me a chance to see him again.
“At least the earring brought you back here. So what are you doing this afternoon? Want to show me around the city?” he asks in a gruff voice.
I want to say yes but the fact is, I can’t risk anyone seeing me with him. Last night was a close call, one I don’t care to repeat.
“I wish I could,” I tell him, disappointment in my voice. “Unfortunately, I have to work. I have a meeting this afternoon,” I lie again. “In fact, I need to go now.” Before I change my mind. Rising to my tiptoes, I press a kiss to his cheek. “Thanks for everything,” I tell him and turn to go.
“Taylor, wait.”
But I ignore him and walk to the revolving door and past the doorman. “Bye, Jack,” I whisper, the ache in my chest painful.
