Jade was smiling on the outside yet anything but happy on the inside. She hadn’t seen Linc at all this evening and had long since admitted that she missed him. Their time in the garden had put him in a new light in her eyes. The way he’d looked at her like she was the most important person in the world. His touch had been gentle and, she thought, sincere. She desperately wanted him to touch her like that again. She knew that these feelings were dangerous but was helpless against their flourishing.

Adam thought she needed some air so he’d offered a walk outside near the pool. Air wasn’t what she needed but she was too polite to turn him down. So now she was walking beneath the stars with one man while thoughts of his brother ran rampant through her mind. Then, as if conjured from her thoughts, he appeared. She heard his voice from behind but had already felt his presence.

“Jade?”

His voice seemed calm but when she turned to look at him the first thing she noticed was his stormy eyes. “Lincoln,” she whispered.

“Well, it’s about time you arrived,” Adam said. “With a date as fine as Jade you’d think you would be on time.”

Although Adam laughed Linc apparently didn’t find anything funny. He kept his eyes trained on Jade.

“I…wasn’t sure what time you’d finally get here,” she said, butterflies dancing merrily in the pit of her stomach.

“I’m here now.”

She’d already released Adam’s hand and now twiddled with the beads on her handbag. “Yes. You are.”

Linc took a step toward her. “Come here.”

She took a step closer to him and saw that his entire body was tense. He looked angry but she wasn’t quite sure. Then she realized that Adam was still standing there. “Adam was just keeping me company.”

Linc spared Adam a glance. “He doesn’t have to do that anymore.”

Adam grinned. “Yeah, I can see I’ve been dumped,” he said with a look to Jade.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered.

“No. Don’t apologize. You’re right where you belong,” Adam said and looked at Linc.

Linc didn’t want to think about the grief he was going to get from his brother when he was alone. In fact, he didn’t care. All he cared about right now was being with her. She looked spectacular and the urge to touch her was becoming unbearable. He reached out to take her arm.

“We should be getting back inside,” she said.

Linc watched as Adam retreated, moving his hand up and down her arm. They were finally alone and he didn’t want to chance that changing. “We’re not going back to the party.”

“We’re not?”

He shook his head negatively and pulled her against him. This was where he liked her most, in his arms, looking up at him as if he were the only man in her life. Linc readily acknowledged that he liked the sound of that.

“I want to be alone with you.” His hands stroked her back, loving the feel of her warm curves against him.

“Oh?” she said then looked away.
