Make Me Forget Read Free Page B

mingling with the rich and famous. Paige had hated being dragged along. When she’d first made the bestseller’s list, he had bragged to everyone. But when people had turned their attention away from him, wanting to ask her about her books, he’d quickly changed the subject. Justin had thrived off being the center of attention. Paige, on the other hand, was more of a loner and completely fine with it.
    Paige took a deep breath and dabbed at her eyes. She did not want to shed another tear because of Justin or her writer’s block. She opened the door to the condo and welcomed the blast of cool air against her sun-warmed skin. She set down her bags on the white-tiled kitchen table then grabbed a glass of ice water before looking around the kitchen and living room areas. She thought about what had happened this morning—and her naked intruder. A smile found her lips, and she snickered at the ridiculousness of how the entire event had unfolded. It was definitely a funny story that would be worth telling for years to come.
    Paige settled at the kitchen table and started up her laptop. She began rereading her book from chapter one.
     
     

Chapter Three
     
     
     
    It had been a great day on the water—the waves had been perfect for surfing. Tyler smiled as Matt drove him back to the condo. He was hoping his evening would give him even more to smile about.
    “You have a big grin on your face, mate,” Matt noticed. “Plans tonight with that lady?”
    “I’m taking her out to dinner,” Tyler answered with excitement.
    “She’s quite the looker.”
    Tyler glared at Matt.
    “Sorry, I was only making an observation.” Matt chuckled at his friend’s possessiveness.
    “I know. She is freaking beautiful. I really want to get to know her better, but she seems pretty quiet and closed off, other than her screaming at me and threatening me with a knife.”
    “What do you expect? She found you naked this morning while she was making coffee. The poor girl probably wasn’t even awake yet, let alone prepared to see all that.” He gestured to Tyler’s body.
    Tyler laughed. Matt made a good point. Hopefully, the initial shock of the intrusion was behind them and they could simply enjoy each other’s company for the next few days.
    Tyler walked through the door and saw Paige sitting at the kitchen table with her laptop open. She was lying on her arm, sound asleep. He quietly walked over to her and watched her napping. Even though watching her again made him feel kind of creepy, he couldn’t help it. Her beauty was enticing. He noticed the cute trail of drool trickling out of the corner of her mouth and down her arm, and he smiled. The fact he found her drool cute made him laugh. Her body flinched, and her elbow hit her computer mouse, bringing her laptop out of sleep mode. Tyler watched her closely to make sure she was still napping.
    I know I shouldn’t look, but curiosity is killing me.
    Tyler began skimming the book Paige was working on. After reading everything on the screen, he carefully reached for the mouse and continued. The story was good, really good. He wanted to finish it, which surprised the hell out of him since it was a romance novel. Her use of imagery was impeccable. The way she described the characters and scenery drew him into the story, especially the chemistry between the man and woman. He continued to scroll down. It ended abruptly right when the two main characters were locking lips.
    Tyler carefully tiptoed away to the bathroom. Reading Paige’s book had created a deeper desire for her inside him. The way she used her words to paint a picture was mindboggling. She was definitely a talented, passionate writer. Not only did he want her company, he wanted to know more about her—what made her tick, what she liked and didn’t like. He wanted to know about her love for writing.
    He stepped into the shower and began washing away a day’s worth of sweat, sand and salt water. Visions of Paige ran through
