Chapter Six

The next evening, as she got ready for dinner, Grace glanced in the mirror for the sixteenth time. Pink blouse, navy skirt, and wedges. Was her outfit formal enough? Casual enough? Did she look like the wedding planner, or someone who was meeting her lover’s family for the first time? The whole of the Katsalos family would be there tonight, as well as some of Erin’s family—it was kind of a rehearsal of the rehearsal dinner—a chance for the two families to meet each other before the wedding.

And where do I fit in?

She shook her head. Of course, only she and Ari knew that they were lovers. And the reminder of that was her eyes, gritty from a lack of sleep last night, and the warm, languid caress in her body whenever she thought of herself wrapped in Ari’s arms. Polly had arranged everything for the dinner tonight while Grace was at O’Malley’s. When she’d got back, she’d initially said no when Ari had insisted she join them for dinner. But he was persuasive. She would be a good mediator between Mr. O’Malley and Mano, and she could answer any questions anyone had about the big day.

She laid a hand on her chest and tried to still her breathing. Ari had said he’d come early and bring her downstairs tonight for the dinner, but she wondered if that would be a giveaway. Whenever she was around Ari her skin burned. Maybe people knew that she couldn’t tear her gaze away from him. No, she reassured herself. This night was about Erin and Nick. No one would even notice that she came in with Ari.

When there was a soft knock, she collected her evening bag and opened the door. Ari stood in front of her in a perfectly cut, navy blue suit with a cream shirt that made his eyes even more deeply caramel. His skin shone bronze in the light from her hallway, and his teeth when he smiled were bright white.

He stepped forward and drew her to him. She breathed deep his clean, freshly showered scent, and immediately her rushing heartbeat skipped lighter. “You look incredible,” he whispered in her ear. “Thank you for being with me tonight.”

The way he spoke to her, as if she were the most precious thing in the world, made her want to melt into a pool at his feet. “You’re perfectly hot yourself,” she said as she stroked the cool cotton of his collar.

“The others haven’t arrived yet,” he said. “I knew you wouldn’t want to make an entrance with me, so I thought we could greet everyone as they came in.”

He leaned back when she adjusted her blouse, and scanned her face. “Grace Bennett, are you nervous?”

She dropped her chin. “Of course, I’m nervous. In these next few days, I need to pull off two hugely important weddings, I get to see your whole family again, and I have to pretend that you and I aren’t together.”

He stroked a finger down her cheek, and her whole body came alight.
