"All right, love," she said, turning around.

I shook my head, finally filling my water bottle. Then I heard a shuffle behind me, and looked over my shoulder. It was Zoey.

"Hey," I said, "when did you come up? I didn't hear you."

"No, you were talking to that woman," she said.

"You heard that?"

"Yes, I did."

"Why didn't you say anything?"

"I don't know. I was too surprised."

I walked over to her, giving her the full water bottle and filling her empty one.

"I leave you alone for a few seconds and you get hit on, huh?"

I looked up. Her voice was odd. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing. I don't know. It was a strange feeling. You didn't even flirt back."

I blinked. "Why would I? I didn't realize she was flirting until she flat-out asked me to buy her a drink."

She swallowed hard, draping her arms around my neck. "How are you even real?"

I moved my free hand from her waist up to her shoulder and then her neck. I had to keep eye contact because, damn it, she was far too sexy in these clothes. I spoke in her ear. "You're the only one who matters to me, babe. You’re my everything."

She shivered. I was fighting my instinct to pin her against the nearest wall. Damn, it was a bad idea to be in public with her when she looked this delicious.

"Zoey, Colton, you're here. Oh shit, I didn't mean to interrupt." Nick's voice came from behind us.

I felt Zoey suck in a breath before I turned around.

Nick grinned. "Right. Far from me to want to cockblock anyone, but just so you know, we do have cameras everywhere."

Zoey blushed violently, which was even more delicious.

"Thank you for the information," I said curtly.
