“Can you hold down this area?” Tess asked, glancing toward the red carpet. “It looks like Devin will be enjoying the attention for a little longer.”

I nodded and took in a deep breath as she wandered back inside toward the elevators.

It made sense so many high-profile celebrities were at tonight’s function, but I hadn’t really given it much thought until they were walking past me, swooping me into some kind of make-believe world as I guided them through the velvet ropes to where Tess was waiting for them.

Flashbulbs went off in every direction as the Volkov brothers slowly made their way down the long, red carpet. I’d managed to scurry away from Devin before the first camera flash went off, and now I stood in awe at the spectacle of everything in front of me. Devin motioned for me to join him several times, but I managed to stay put.

Tonight’s event was really far out of my comfort zone but watching the brothers stop for press interviews and pose for pictures demonstrated how some people were just meant for certain things in life. They knew when to smile, laugh, and entertain, and the women with Drake and Blake were equally as beautiful as they were gregarious. Their gowns were gorgeous and everything about them cried glamour.

I held in a sigh and ran my sweaty palms over the skirt of my dress. I could arrest a two-hundred-pound armed man without a worry, but I was torn up inside having to pretend I knew what I was doing here. This kind of glamour didn’t exist where I’d come from, and I realized the moment I stepped out of the car just how underdressed as I was, but there was nothing I could do about it now. So, I stood out of the way until I was needed and watched the night unfold.

This event couldn’t have come at a better time. After the meeting with Devin this afternoon, my mind was swimming with confusion. I never expected him to find out the man he laid out on the ground was an FBI agent.

The fear that pulsed through me as he filled me in only slightly subsided the more Devin elaborated on his findings. Once I realized he hadn’t tied me to the agent, I finally allowed myself to breathe, but that was quickly squashed by his revelation about Jenn.

What made matters worse was that he seemed to almost blame himself for putting me in harm’s way, which of course brought along an entirely different set of emotions.

“Avery,” Devin’s voice brought me out of myself, and I spun around to see him coming up behind me with one of the women. “This is Blake’s fiancée, Ava.”

Ava was gorgeous. Her brown hair was swept into a high chignon that showed off her porcelain skin, high cheekbones, and large brown eyes. She was wearing a simple grey dress that showed off her curves.

“So good to meet you,” Ava said, kissing my check before stepping back.

“Wonderful to meet you too.
