Chapter 4

Helen looked over at him seated next to her. He epitomised the muscly toned surfie look. Handsome didn’t even do him justice. He was stunning. She couldn’t help stealing glances of him. His sandy blonde hair had always been wavy with a life of its own.

For a boy who had grown up on a poor council estate, he had turned out pretty close to perfection. He was self-assured, looked amazing and though he had been gloating earlier on, she believed what he said—that he was successful. She looked around at the other wedding guests. Mitch fitted in with all the wealthy self-made men. He said the right words, with a neutral hard-to-place kind of accent. A perfectly tailored suit, and an armour of charisma that didn’t seem to have a chink in it. He really had turned out to be an ideal plus one. And she had to admit, he made her feel amazing. He didn’t make her feel like she was Aidan’s sister who had to be looked out for. He included her in every conversation at the table. Every time she stole a glimpse of him, his eyes twinkled and smiled back at her.

And he had been so attentive over dinner. She’d accepted a morsel of baked camembert from his own fork, and he had fed her himself. His stare didn’t waver, watching her as she leant forward to nibble on the cheese. With a grin that melted her insides, he used his thumb to wipe away the melted cheese that had dribbled on to her chin. Mitch was, without doubt, the most attentive date that she’d ever had. A dream date by anyone’s standards. Any person looking on would have thought they were the perfect totally-in-love kind of couple. The kind that she’d wished for in all of her previous relationships, that they would turn into. On their very first date together, Mitch was all that she’d ever wanted.

First date, and last, she corrected herself. Not that this was a real date. It had after all only emanated due to a lost poker game, she had not put her hat in the ring for relationships. Uh-uh. Relationships were out of the question.

Just as Helen persuaded herself that she’d just enjoy the moment, as relationships weren’t in the cards, Mitch leaned forward and stole a lick of chocolate mousse from her own spoon. She gulped. Was that the sexiest thing she’d ever seen? It was like a promise of something more to come.

The meals were cleared away, and as the speeches started, Mitch reached into her lap to grasp her hand in his. His hand seemed to burn straight through her dress. She didn’t dare look his way for fear that he’d see just how he affected her.

Just when she thought she had found her composure, Mitch’s thumb started stroking the sensitive place on her wrist. Elly’s father’s speech was lost on her as she struggled to maintain an equilibrium. Helen sucked in a steadying breath. His gestures promised something more.
