“I don’t think I’m going to sleep a wink tonight,” Camille said as she crossed the threshold into her apartment.

Adam had accompanied her home and was now taking her key out of the door and closing it soundly behind him. It was after midnight and she was feeling very relaxed and just a tad tipsy after all the champagne she’d indulged in this evening. But after Moreen’s arrival and departure she felt the need to do something out of the ordinary.

At first she couldn’t believe that Moreen had showed up and with her biggest competitor at that. But then she realized that was precisely what could be expected from her wonderful stepmother. The moment Moreen arrived she’d felt as if the floor was going to swallow her up. Then she’d looked over and saw Adam, noticing that he touched her hand. Jade and Linc had even come to her rescue. Camille figured that if these people that she barely knew could stand up for her she damn sure better stand up for herself. So she’d said what needed to be said to Moreen and proceeded to party for the duration of the evening.

His arms snaked around her waist, pulling her backside up against his front. Her entire world tilted. Now that could be another effect of too much champagne but she was betting it was too much Adam.

“I know a lot of things,” he said, his mouth close to her ear. “For starters I know that you don’t hold your liquor well.” He moved them over to the couch and sat them both down.

“What?” she asked, letting her head fall back against the chair. “I’ve got a really good retort to that comment and just as soon as the room stops spinning I’m going to say it.”

Adam chuckled and brushed her hair back from her forehead. “You had a good time tonight. I’m glad.”

Camille let out a deep breath. “I did.”

“You don’t do that often, do you?”

He was lifting her legs onto his. She remembered this position from the hotel in Vegas and wanted to sigh. He was a man, alone with her in her apartment after a night of drinking and dancing. There were so many things he could
