“Lydia.”
Connor watched her, taking in her delicate, radiant features. For a moment, the walls around his heart felt like they were about to crumble.
Lydia nodded. “Where are we going?”
“The Royal Hotel.”
She lifted an eyebrow, instantly recognizing the name. The Royal Hotel was the only place in the city grand enough to host presidents and world leaders. It was owned by the Jefferson Group.
Connor reached out, gently shielding her head as she got into the car. The gesture was so careful and soft, it left Aiden, sitting up front, completely stunned. He had never seen Connor act like this before.
Seriously, was this real life? If the rest of the team saw Connor like this, they’d swear they were dreaming.
But then again, Lydia really was something else. The real Norwood heiress was jaw-droppingly beautiful. Even calling her gorgeous didn’t do her justice. She had this cool, confident vibe, and together with the boss, they honestly looked perfect, like a couple out of a story. No wonder Connor had been obsessed with finding her.
Guess even the toughest guys fall hard for the right girl.
Connor got in next to Lydia, holding back the swirl of emotion stirring inside him. He glanced at Aiden. “Let’s go.”
“Yes, Boss.”
After a moment, Connor turned to Lydia. “Long day at work?”
She shook her head, her long lashes fluttering lightly. It was almost hypnotic. “Not really.”
“You like fashion design?”
“It’s fun.”
He grinned. “You also know medicine, ride motorcycles, and you can definitely hold your own in a fight. Those are just hobbies too?”
Connor felt like every time he learned something new about Lydia, it was a surprise waiting to happen. He couldn’t help wanting to know more.
Lydia nodded. “Yeah. But medicine… that’s more than a hobby. That’s my dream.”
She wanted to do something real in the medical world, to help people, to make a difference.
Connor felt her words settle in his chest. She really was incredible.
“Lydia, give me your hand.”
