Chapter 15

Sleeping Dogs

Eighties rock music greeted Rae as she walked into the dance inside the Oratory. The decorations in the room made her feel like she had stepped back centuries in time, but didn’t match the retro music at all. The hall, decorated in the Tudor style, included a makeshift stage similar to the one King Henry VIII had used for plays when he had held court there. A band played from the stage, wearing Tudor clothing and masks.

A slow wave of hot air drifted from the bodies on the dance floor. Molly raised an arm from amongst the throng of people. With Reece’s arm close around her waist, the wide grin on Molly’s face made sense, and it appeared that they were having a great time. Rae quickly scanned the room. Maria and Haley by the punch table. Nicholas and a Roe Hampton girl walking to the dance floor where Molly and Reece are, Desiree heading to the ladies’ room and Kraigan, now in a suit, talking to some girls from Roe Hampton. No Carter or trouble brewing. All’s good. She relaxed.

Devon and Julian stood on either side of her, both grinning like little kids.

“Too many ladies for you to choose from, aren’t there?” Rae elbowed Julian. “I’m going to see Molls. Do you guys care to dance?”

Julian pointed to his ear and shook his head.

“Not with him.” Devon nodded towards Julian. “He’s got two left feet and no sense of rhythm. My poor toes couldn’t take the beating.” He had no problem hearing Rae with his tatù.

She rolled her eyes at his bad joke. “Come meet Molly’s flame.”

“I gotta meet the guy who can handle her.” Julian led the way.

Devon placed a hand on the small of her back, leading her to the center of the hall. The warmth of his fingers made her skin tingle and she barely resisted the urge to lean back against him. No way could anyone else create this feeling inside me. I could handle this temptation forever.

A slow song started to play when they reached Molly and Reece. After a quick introduction, Rae sensed that Devon liked Reece immediately and vice versa.

“Since we’re here, do you want to dance?” Devon smiled, showing off his dimple. He held his arms out to Rae.

“Only because Julian’s about to ask.” She grinned at Julian’s surprised look. He obviously hadn’t been planning on it, but it worked as a good excuse for anyone with ears listening in, and she knew Julian would play along. She stepped forward to be as close to Devon as she could without rousing suspicion. She slung her arms around his neck and lightly brushed the hair at the nape of his neck with her fingers.

They moved together as the band played. An inner tingling inside of Rae began to grow stronger. It had nothing to do with her tatù, and everything to do with being close to Devon.

She felt his arms tighten around her waist. She bit her lip, afraid to look up and yet, unable to stop herself.
