Page 10 of Sinful Secrets

No word on the gang yet. See if you can find out anything.

I send a quick reply.

I’ll see if I can find anything.

I just want to forget about all of it for a while, especially since they went on a mission during a game and left me and Joey out of it.

Joey has enough on his plate, but I didn’t like being passed over. Not after everything I’ve done for them. I still don’t know everything that went down, but it was bad enough for Francesca to be shot.

“Is that work? I can leave you alone so you can relax and stare at the painting.”

“Work never ends.” I let out a soft laugh as I glance at my watch before asking, “Would you like to go to dinner with me?”

My heart pounds in my chest as I wait for her answer. The museum is about to close, and I don’t want to pass up an opportunity to get to know Savannah more.

I’ve never felt this nervous before and I’ve killed men! I shouldn’t want to be around her like this. I barely know her, but something about the pureness in her eyes draws me in.

She looks unsure for a few moments before grinning. “I’d love to.”

Chapter Three

SAVANNAH

My heart races,like it’s begging to visit the emergency room. I can’t believe I just agreed to go to dinner with a stranger.

Not a stranger. Spencer.

The same man I’ve been watching all week. The same man that I’ve wanted to talk to since he showed up with dried blood on his hands and a sad, haunted look in his eyes.

At least we have a name now.

Spencer holds out his hand and helps me up from the bench.

“Don’t put too much weight on your ankle.” He says as he wraps his arm around my waist.

My breath hitches, and my skin tingles where he’s touching me. He pulls me closer to his side.

What’s wrong with me?

Why can’t I just act normal when a hot guy wraps his arm around me?

He leans down and whispers in my ear. “Are you okay?”

I slowly nod and try to swallow. My mouth is drier than the Sahara. “Mm-hmm.”

My heart betrays me and continues to pound in my chest.

“Your heart is racing, and you’re breathing kind of hard. Are you sure you’re okay?”

Geez. Just kill me now.

“I’m just a little nervous.”

Spencer pulls away slightly to look at me. A smirk grows on his face, making him look sexier, if that’s even possible. “What makes you nervous? Being this close to me or going on a date?”

“Both. Well, you, but not in a bad way. You are way hotter than any of my exes and you make my heart race. And apparently, you make me ramble like a drunk.”

He steps closer to me, wrapping his arm tighter around my waist. “You’re not too bad yourself, Savannah.”
