“Just in case you’re having trouble seeing, I am staring back at you likeyouare the idiot,” he helpfully shared.

“Me? Why am I the idiot?” The girl twisted around and started grabbing the paper around her.

Blake took in her ugly blue tights and pinafore dress that looked like it had been a school uniform once upon a time. He still hadn’t seen her face clearly as she was ass up—and actually it was quite a nice ass—gathering all her scattered belongings.

Help her, asshole.

Blake let out a sigh.

“You shouldn’t run in museums,” he scoffed, crouching to pick up a folder. “There are rules.”

She spun and faced him.

“I know the rules. I work here and I wasn’t running.”

Blake froze.

Not because he cared she was a Penn Museum employee, but because she was the woman he was supposed to be double dating tonight.

He smirked.

Well, this was going to be fun.

“Blake?” He spun his head around and right ahead of him stood Amelia with her arm threaded through a man who look very fucking familiar.

And she didn’t look miserable at all.

“Oh my God, you’re Blake,” Bella said with a gasp.

“Yes,” He winked at her, though it was unlikely she could see him. He stood and pulled out a bunch of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and handed them to her when she climbed to her feet.

“For the glasses.”

“About tonight—”

Blake cut her off, leaning closer, and said, “Be a good girl, and wear something sexy.”

Then he walked away.

Taylor owed him big time. He wanted the Ferrari for a fucking month.
