Chapter Fourteen

Kazmar reached the end of another story—for he’d told at least a dozen—and the entire table, including Grace, burst into laughter. Somehow he and Lena had planted themselves in the back where Logan had situated her while she worked. She had introduced her to Kazmar and Lena, who were unpretentious and gracious, and they had asked her to join them at a table that was filled with Kazmar’s childhood buddies, people who knew him when he was Kevin Martin, before he became Kazmar, the Sexiest Man Alive, according to People magazine.

She was grateful for the company, although she wished the guy next to her, Eric, would quit putting his arm around her. Other than that little annoyance she was having a delightful time. Once in a while she would look up and see Logan working the room, talking to the guests. Some women openly flirted with her, which really didn’t surprise Grace at all. She was beautiful and any straight woman with the slightest bent would give her time.

“Grace, I hope Kaz isn’t boring you?” Lena asked.

She looked over her shoulder, realizing that Lena was standing behind her. She immediately stood, thankful to be rid of Eric.

“Not hardly. I’m having a wonderful time, and I’m glad to be here.”

Pleased, Lena took her arm and walked her to a corner. “I think you’re gorgeous, and I can tell Logan is smitten with you.”

Her cheeks reddened. “I don’t know about that. Logan is certainly a free spirit. I think she likes a lot of women.”

“She certainly does,” Lena said knowingly.

“I didn’t realize you two were friends.”

“Oh, yes. She photographed my very first shoot in Brazil six years ago. We got along famously. Perhaps too famously,” she quickly added. When Grace said nothing, Lena whispered, “We were lovers for a while.”

“Oh.” She hoped she didn’t sound too surprised. Why should she be? Both women were very attractive, and, as a model, Lena had to be indebted to the photographer who launched her career.

“When Kaz and I decided to get married, she was the only photographer I wanted. She understands me.”

“She’s incredibly talented,” Grace agreed.

Both of them glanced at Logan who was talking to a thin brunette with shoulder-length straight hair. Grace immediately recognized Penny McWhirter’s high cheekbones. Logan and Penny were laughing, and they looked toward her at the same time and smiled. Is she another lover, too?

Lena touched her arm and said, “You might want to go over and join them. There’s nothing like a ménage a trois to spice up your life.”

She turned to Kazmar, and Grace joined Penny and Logan. Penny flashed a friendly smile and Grace realized how striking she was without the ball cap covering her face. She wore a shimmering red cocktail dress which was so short that Grace could see most of her upper thigh. She certainly has incredible legs.

“You look a little different without your coveralls,” Grace said.

“I thought I’d change before I rubbed elbows with the rich and famous.”

“Have you two met?” a confused Logan asked.
