The following day, Emma and Liam gave up all pretense of having a platonic relationship while they were in front of the crew. Rumors were certainly already abounding, and it was unlikely that either she or Liam had been quiet enough the previous two nights to avoid notice. Either way, there were no comments or double takes as she and Liam held hands or put one arm around the other, and if there were any snickers or exchanges of money, the crew kept them hidden.
Free of the stress of the crew’s reaction, Emma’s thoughts were centered squarely on Liam. Now that they’d started taking pleasure in each other’s bodies, she was practically overwhelmed by desire, to the point where it was nearly alarming when she stopped to think about it.
