Chapter 11

A few days later, she bumped into Kirk in the wine cellar. Her stomach tightened when she caught sight of him dressed in a white polo shirt and black pants. Even when he dressed casually, he looked like a million dollars. Kirk might not know everything about the upper-class world he now inhabited, but he definitely looked the part. Calling him handsome was an understatement.

“Thanks for doing this.” His deep voice echoed off the brick walls.

As cool as it was down in the temperature-controlled cellar, she felt heat flare within her. Her desire for him was like a wild, uncontrollable thing. The more she tried to suppress it, the more intense it became. Swallowing hard, she finally said, “No problem. Happy to help.”

He motioned to an elaborate oak table in the corner. “I had the butler take out some of the Italian wines like you requested.”

“I know about other wines, so I can teach you about European wines and a little about those from California, Argentina, and South Africa,” she told him. “After that we can move on to hard liquors if you like.”

“How do you know all this stuff?” he asked. “I know you went to Italy, but you seem to have pretty extensive knowledge.”

She bit her lip, forcing back the panic. Growing up on her father’s estate had been a lesson in all the luxury that the world had to offer. What she knew about wine, food, fashion, travel, and etiquette would probably stun even the most well-bred debutante. Her father’s family had made their fortune during the first World War. Her mother’s family had struck it rich during the Gold Rush. Breeding was in her blood. But telling Kirk was a danger she couldn’t afford.

“Let’s just say my father was a bit of a wine aficionado,” she finally said. “And I toured Europe a little during my year in Italy.”

“He sounds like a fascinating figure, this father of yours. Maybe I’ll meet him someday.”

If her father was ever in the same room as Kirk, she knew that neither of them would come out unscathed. That thought sped up her heart rate, and she wobbled.

“Whoa, easy.” Kirk placed his strong hand on the small of her back, steadying her. “You okay?”

“Fine,” she said quickly. “Just getting used to the dark, is all.”

With his hand scorching her right through her dress, he guided her across the dimly lit cellar. As she made her way through the cellar, she took a calming breath. The familiar smell of oak and wine reminded her of the wine cellar in her father’s mansion.

When they got to the table, he pulled a seat out for her and helped her sink down into the plush, antique chair.

Kirk took a seat across from her. “If you need help, I can have Chef Henri come down here. He knows a lot about wine as well, though I’ve never taken him up on any offers to teach me.”

“No, that’s okay,” she said quickly. Too quickly, because doubt flashed in his green eyes.
