Aria POV
For a moment, I genuinely thought I had walked into the wrong room.
Mason sat at the edge of the bed like he owned the entire damn world.
The girl beside him turned slightly. “Baby, who’s that?” She gave me a slightly seductive look.
I felt disgusted by it.
His gaze never left mine. “Journalist,” he answered casually. “She likes asking questions.”
Heat rushed violently into my face.
I should’ve left immediately, I knew that.
But my feet stayed planted there, humiliation burning so hard inside me that it almost made me dizzy.
Mason leaned back slightly against the bed, completely relaxed. “You gonna stand there all night, Aria?”
The sound of my name on his lips did something ugly to my chest.
The girl glanced between us, instantly sensing the tension.
