Chapter 2

Sophie didn’t want the dance to end. Alex moved like a dream and she followed as if made just for him. The rest of the crowd melted away — all that existed was her and Alex.

They’d only been on the dance floor for a short time but in his arms, it was as if time was on slow motion. Sophie’s skin prickled and tightened with each move they made and each touch of Alex’s hand.

A vacuum of desire surrounded Sophie, enthralling her. The way Alex’s hold tightened and his body hardened further against hers told her he felt the same way. She badly wanted to kiss him, but knew if she did it would be splattered across the gossip pages tomorrow.

She wanted their first kiss to be at midnight and in private where no one could see them. Could they slip out before the clock struck twelve?

“It’s nearly that time,” his softly whispered words pulled her out of her dreamy state.

“Time for what?”

“Time to say goodbye to the old year and hello to the new one. Time to take off our masks. Time to show yourself to me, Sophia.”

She didn’t know how she felt about exposing herself. She wasn’t worried about her looks, she knew she was attractive — but would he see the real her? The girl whose self-esteem had recently been battered and bashed until it was unrecognizable?

Behind the anonymity of her mask, she was able to portray someone she wasn’t normally.

A light finger stroked the side of her head, breaking up her tumbled thoughts. “What thoughts trouble you so?”

“I was thinking that I can’t believe it’s nearly midnight. I hadn’t realized it had gotten so late.”

From behind his mask, his eyes twinkled and she knew he didn’t believe a word she’d said. And why would he, it sounded lame to her ears.

“Come, let’s go out onto the balcony to watch the fireworks.”

Suddenly Sophie didn’t want to be around a crowd. What if someone she knew saw her? Her dress was recognizable and everyone attending the ball knew who she was thanks to the earlier introduction.

All of a sudden, she didn’t think she was brave enough to follow through.

“Wait,” she cried. “I don’t want to go out onto the balcony. I don’t — ”

“Shhh.” Alex placed a finger on her lips. “Can you trust me to protect you and what is happening between us, Sophia mia?”

She looked into his eyes and the desire she saw shining out of them filled her. Her body screamed in agreement.

“Yes.” The moment she uttered the word she knew it was true. She did trust him.

“Follow me.” He slipped a strong arm around her waist and she shivered at his touch. He pulled her closer into his embrace as he led her through the crowd of partygoers. She didn’t know how he managed it, but before she knew it they were in a secluded part of the balcony. Darkness shrouded them and a large potted plant hid them from prying eyes.

The night was balmy, a soft breeze wafted over Sophie’s arms, the fine hairs on them standing to attention.
