Chapter 85

What was Rowan doing? As far as Alec could tell, Zander hadn’t even seen Rowan come in. He’d be suspicious of a drink that came out of nowhere. Rowan’s instruction had been to get Zander’s attention first, thenbuy the drink. Why was he improvising?

The waiter left the drink there, along with a frowning Zander. His gaze kept flickering to Rowan’s broad shoulders, his fingers drumming along the side of the glass. After a moment, he scooped it up and headed over.

Alec held his breath, wishing he could hear the confrontation that was to come. Zander tapped Rowan on the shoulder, but when Rowan turned to face him, Zander’s eyes widened, sweeping downward for a brief moment before returning to Rowan’s solemn face. At least he’d noticed how gorgeous his benefactor was. This could still work.

Except he set the tumbler on the bar and shook his head. Alec grimaced. They couldn’t try this twice.
