Chapter 12

Ivy’s whole body hummed. They’d gone through five line dances, the music just right, the company amazing. She felt like she’d just become best friends with a room full of strangers. Brazilians had a gift, honestly. They were the warmest, friendliest people she’d ever met. And her date . . . Was he her date? He was certainly acting like it. Had this gone beyond professional relations to something more? She found herself hoping so. Without thinking about it much, they’d been standing closer, dancing closer, and now, as the music slowed, she practically ran into his arms. About time.

As his strong, lean arms held her close, she melted even closer. He cradled one hand in his own and held his other large palm against the small of her back. “Now that I’ve got the most beautiful woman in the room right where I want her, this night might just have to go on a little longer than it’s used to.” His grin was warm, relaxed, his eyes sincere.

She tilted her head back and laughed. “I needed this. I really needed this night. I don’t care if it lasts forever.”

He twirled her around. “What’s this I hear about you knowing how to swing dance?”

“Dance competition team in college.”

“Really, now this is just about to get interesting. And country dance?”

“That too.”

“Leaps? Throws?”

“If you can throw me, I can do it.”

“Oh, I can throw you.” His eyes sparkled with challenge. She bit her lip. “Then what are we waiting for?”

He two-stepped to the side.

She followed.

He cupped their hands together and then spun her around.

The music picked up with the next song, and they started moving faster to the beat. He started easy. They rotated in circles, stepping from side to side, together and then back. Then he grabbed her by the waist and lifted her into the air.

She grinned, landing at his front.

“You ready?”

“With you? I’m always ready.”

His answering grin was too good a look on him. Why was this man her boss? Wow, her feelings for him were as polar opposite as they came. Like a yo-yo, she went from adoring him to hating his methods, to respecting him to wanting to keep her distance, back to hoping for any sliver of attention. She was a mess. But she loved her mess. And she laughed as his thick palms grabbed her at the waist, this time bouncing her on each hip, tossing her high into the air, down along the ground between his legs and then back up front.

Colton held her close for a moment, stepping side to side. “You know. I knew I would be into you, Ivy Hatfield. But this is a whole new level entirely.”

When her eyes found his, the sincerity that shone back reached her. She felt it deep inside. What made Colton tick? For the first time, she wondered why he flew the way he did. “You know, what you did in Afghanistan was incredibly brave.”

“You heard about that?” He studied her for a moment. “Not reckless?”

She shook her head.
