JOEY'S POV “The show was incredible. Thank you again for all you’ve done for us tonight. Highly unnecessary but greatly appreciated.”“The night’s not over yet.” The words sort of just slipped out of my mouth. I couldn’t tear my eyes away from her. God, her skin was like porcelain. The touch of makeup she wore only highlighted the sapphire twinkle in her eyes, and the soft shade of pink lipstick filled out her full lips. Fuck, she was ten times prettier up close. A natural beauty, to say the least.

TEVA'S POV Joey studied me. “I see the wheels turning in your head.” “You don’t know me well enough to see the wheels turning.” I kept my voice calm, trying not to act defensive. “And you don’t know me well enough to make judgments about my character based on generalizations you have preset in your mind.” He caught me off guard with his brilliant insight. “You’re right. You’ve impressed me yet again.” “Again? You mean I’ve been working my ass off to impress you, only to find out I didn’t need to try?” “Not in the way you think.” I smiled.
