Graeme Huntley answered his own door and I was surprised enough by that, that I almost stepped back into Beck. I managed to catch myself though, plastering on a polite smile. Graeme stared down at me, a smug sort of look on his face. There was silence for a minute, and I realized that this was my first time seeing him since I’d caught him making out with his sister, and it took actual effort to control the way my smile wanted to twist into something more like disgust.

“Welcome Ms. Deboise and Mr. Beckett,” he said, the epitome of politeness. He wore a dove gray suit, with an open white dress shirt. Looking rich and business casual. “Please come in.”

Said the spider to the fly.

We stepped in together following Graeme. Beck had barely spoken a word to me since the folder and “gift” incident back at my apartment. The simmering fury in his eyes did not abate, and I wondered if Graeme would think Beck was here to attack him or something. Because right now, he looked capable of anything.

Graeme’s house was flawless and apparently brand new. Considering they had only been living here for a month or two, I wondered if it had been built for them in anticipation of the vote. Or if it was a lucky coincidence that a brand-new mansion was just available for them to purchase.

We entered a large, formal living area first, dressed mostly in gold and sky blue styling. “Please, have a seat,” he said, gesturing toward a gold tinged leather couch. The sort of couch that looked fancy and uncomfortable. “The staff will be by shortly to take a drink order.”

Beck and I both sat, and I decided there was no way I was eating or drinking anything here tonight. I remembered all too well how my father drugged me. Graeme I trusted even less than Richard, and that was saying something.

Graeme took a seat across from us, crossed his legs, looking the picture of elegance as he tilted his head in my direction. It was such a direct contrast to Beck, who was all broad and relaxed, leaned back in the seat. Legs spread slightly, arms to the side, expression one of coiled lethality.

“I was surprised to receive your message,” Graeme said softly, eyes glittering in the low light. “But I’m glad to have this opportunity to get to know my niece.”

I focused on keeping my breathing nice and even, so as not to let him catch a glimpse of my nerves.

“Thank you for the dinner invitation,” I returned, playing his game. “I figured there has been too much hostility between our families and it was time to break that cycle.”

Plus, I know you’re fucking your sister.

His grin broadened. “Something tells me there’s more to this visit than just breaking the cycle of hatred between our companies. Tell me, Riley, what is the real reason you’re here tonight. Maybe if we get that out of the way first, the rest of the meal will be more pleasant.
