“And you felt he needed rescuing from his boring life?”

I was half-joking, but she doesn’t deny it.

Well, shit.

“Ask me,” she says, her smile lingering, like a faint star in the dark.

“Will I have to undress?”

She snickers.

“What’s his job?”

“Investment analyst.”

“He makes lots of money, huh?”

She laughs. “He does okay. His family is well off, anyway. His father’s military, a decorated officer. They own a lot of property.”

Lucky rich boy.

His mom’s dead.

Still.

“And you know a lot about his family.”

One slender shoulder rolls in a shrug. “I read up on him.”

“He’s your project.”

Another shrug. “You like him,” she says smugly.

“I don’t!” Arrogant, selfish bastard.

She winks.

What? Just because I said he’s hot?

But I remember how he caught me as I was falling in the snow, how he helped me look for my brother, how he came back to check on me.

How he held me, like I was his.

You stupid moron, Riddick. Stop.

“I think you feel it, too,” she says.

I lift my gaze. “Feel what?”

The only thing I’m feeling is that I’m missing something here.

“Don’t you see?” This time her smile is brilliant like a sunrise.

“See what?” It’s the night of riddles. Solve one, get one for free.

“That you also glimpse the gold.”

“The gold?”
