I’d blown a guy in the middle of a museum.
I’d auctioned off my body to the highest bidder.
I’d presented foot-long dick trophies in front of hundreds of people.
And most importantly, I’d fallen in love.
All because I’d decided to stop being afraid and start trying new things. Okay, fine. I’d been terrified the entire time. But it had so been worth it. As long as Tanner didn’t break my heart.
Was Diablo telling the truth about all those women?I was terrified that he was. Because this wasn’t just run-of-the-mill ordinary love. This was the real kind of love. Not whatever Joe and I had. Because that didn’t compare at all. And that meant this could hurt so much worse than when Joe cheated on me. This would…this would destroy me.
“Nigel?” I asked.
He adjusted the mirror to look at me. “Yes, Mistress?”
I had to be careful with my wording. Last time I’d asked him about Tanner’s other women, he’d totally shut me down. “It seems like you and Tanner are pretty close, huh?”
“He is an excellent master.”
“Do you guys ever just hang out?”
“I occasionally indulge in leisure time, yes.”
“With other people?”
Nigel got a big grin on his face. “Sometimes Master Matthew joins us.”
So. Freaking. Weird.“Anyone else?”
His grin vanished as quickly as it had come. “Yes.”
“A girl?”
“Pardon me, Mistress, but I must focus on my driving.” He started to raise the partition.
“Wait!”
The partition paused.
“I’m sorry. I know you don’t like when I ask about that. I just need to know…” I took a deep breath. “Is Tanner going to break my heart?”
“Master Tanner will stop at nothing to make your heart whole.” He gave me a small smile and then closed the partition completely.
What does that mean? And what was that smile all about?It almost looked like he pitied me. Or was happy for me? I had no freaking clue. His expressions were crazy.
I leaned my head against the window and watched the buildings zip by.
Maybe I was overthinking it. Nigel had a weird way of speaking. I shouldn’t read into it. I should just take it at face value. He’d basically told me that Tanner was in love with me!
My heart skipped a beat. God, my emotions were all over the place tonight. Ridiculously excited. Nervous. Terrified. Exhausted.
In just a few minutes, my life could change forever.
I did some breathing exercises to try to calm myself.
It took nearly 45 minutes, but eventually the limo came to a stop. I looked out the window and couldn’t believe my eyes.
Santiago’s!We were having a cake tasting at freaking Santiago’s! First Spaceboy, and now this? Tanner was incredible.
