Chapter 8

“You’re smiling,” said Stephen Reyes, leaning against his brother’s shoulders to state the obvious.

Nate’s eyes swept over the toothy grin across Amelia’s face, laughing at whatever one of her friends just whispered in her ear. Shrugging his brother’s hand off, Nate rose from his spot on the couch, careful not to knock over the low round table filled with drinks of various sizes in Southern Charm’s VIP section.

Amelia Marlow sauntered toward him the only way Amelia could—seductively. He’d spotted her the moment she walked into the club, flanked by Lexi and Amelia’s cousin and looking more suited for a music video than a combined bachelor and bachelorette party. With the exception of the groom, every single man in the club had damn near broken his neck—in Nate’s eyes—for a peek at Amelia and her gorgeous long legs. Her height didn’t measure up to her cousin’s or Lexi’s, but she held her head high as a princess. The sway of her hips had his head moving from side to side. A strange brew of jealousy and desire twisted in his gut. He didn’t play the jealous type; however, his body craved another taste of Amelia. When he recognized the combination, Nate started to regret agreeing to come, but now he was pleasantly surprised.

“Nice to see you out,” Amelia’s strawberry-tinted lips mouthed. “Enjoying yourself?”

The contemporary song bounced off the speakers in all four corners of the VIP room. The volume made hearing her next to impossible, which Nate appreciated. Amelia stopped a half an inch from him, bringing along with her a sweet berry scent. His mouth watered but not for the fruit.

“I am now,” he answered. Instinctively his arms went around her shoulders. She pressed her light-colored fingernails against the fabric of his black T-shirt. The soft touch evoked an automatic erection, which strained against the fabric of his tan chinos. Nate cleared his throat. “I am surprised you came tonight.”

“I hadn’t planned on coming out,” Amelia said with a grim smile, “but since you kicked me out of the house I didn’t have many choices.”

“I didn’t kick you out,” said Nate, making air quotes with his fingers. “I just needed to concentrate on finishing up the work.”

“Thanks for kicking her out.” Lexi danced her way over to the two of them, wrapping her arms around their shoulders. “I needed to get out of my apartment, too.”

Cay came over, slapped her arms around Amelia and Nate’s shoulders, as well. “Whew, I needed to get out of the house. Those kids were driving me nuts.”

“Don’t talk about my babies.” Amelia winked at Nate. The corners of his mouth twisted with relief as she flirted with him. “She forgets she left the house last week.”

“Don’t forget—” Cay rolled her eyes “—you left me to find my own way home.”

A sweet, champagne-scented breath blew across his face when Amelia sighed in sarcasm. “I did you a favor. I called Gregory to come and get you. Don’t try and tell me the two of you did not take advantage of an evening alone.
