Chapter 27: Too Much Sun

Griffin gave me his arm when I came to stand in front of him. “It looks like you got some sun today.” His eyes flicked over my body in appraisal.

 

“Yeah,” I said, but didn’t tell him I fell asleep for most of the day.

 

We walked into Spago, another restaurant in the hotel. It was ultra-modern with sleek lines and colors. The air smelled divine. My stomach woke up.

 

The hostess walked us to our reserved table, then asked if we wanted any drinks from the bar.

 

“I’m going crazy tonight,” I said, my eyes on Griffin.

 

“Do tell,” he replied with a laugh.

 

Turning to their hostess. “I’ll have a strawberry daiquiri, please,” I said.

 

“Crazy,” the hostess agreed with a laugh. “And for you, sir?”

 

“I think if the lady is going crazy, I should join her. You know, to keep her safe.” He winked at me, and I was wet. Damn, the man was glorious.

 

“So, two strawberry daiquiris, then.” The hostess waited for Griffin to agree.
