CHAPTER SEVEN

Jennifer

WHEN HE KISSED ME, I thought I was going to have both a heart attack and a stroke at the same time. It was just a simple touching of his lips to mine, not a tongue in sight, but did that stop me from having a massive internal breakdown? No. Lucky for me, I’m able to play it completely cool on the outside while my insides are turning into molten lava.

Getting out of the car, he’s completely oblivious to my sexual distress. He’s way cooler than I am as he holds the edge of the door, ready to shut it between us.

“Hold onto my knickers? What does that even mean?” I’m playing the whole thing off, acting like I’m not waiting with baited breath, wondering what will happen next.

I cannot figure William out, and it’s driving me crazy. He claims to be this conservative businessman who everyone wants to kill because he’s such a pain in the butt, but he’s also cracking jokes left and right and making me laugh way more than I’m used to, especially around a stranger. Especially around a stranger who I plan to sleep with in just a few hours.

My palms get sweaty just thinking about that part of our evening. He’s way more than I bargained for on just about every level. What are the chances he’ll be more than I dreamed of in the sex department too?

Ugh. I can’t even think about that right now, or I’ll never make it out of the car. Focus, Jennifer. Look at the beautiful flowers. Think about the trifle or whatever it was called. Instead of listening to myself, I watch him walk around the car with long, confident strides. Jesus Almighty, he has broad shoulders. I’ve never seen a man look better in a tux ever. Like ever, ever, not even in Hollywood.

He comes around to my side of the car, giving the parking attendant his keys before he opens my door. His hand is there, waiting for me to take it, and he leans down, answering the question I forgot I even asked. “It means you should plan to have some fun. I hope you enjoy dancing.”

Accepting his hand and using it to leverage myself out of the low-slung car, I smile. “I do like to dance, but I don’t remember ever dancing in a dress like this. I’m not sure I can.”

“All you have to do is hang on, and I’ll do the rest.” He leads me through the door held open by a man in uniform and into the lobby of the hotel. People stare at us and smile as we walk by. I feel like a real, live princess.

The venue has gone all-out for the ball. I’ve never seen so many pink flowers in one place, not even at a wedding, and I’ve been to some doozies in my lifetime. I’m the last one of my friends to still be single.

“Stratford!” A booming voice hits us before we’re even ten steps into the lobby.
