Chapter Eight

A couple of days after Amara arrived, Austin announced that some of his family and friends were coming over for a small get-together. Marcy seemed happy but a little stressed at having to entertain ten to fifteen guests all evening.

Amara stepped in and did her best to help Marcy with organizing and preparing for the evening. Together, they had decided to make all the food themselves. After spending the better part of a day and a half getting the house in order and cooking tons of appetizers, they were ready.

Amara had heard Austin mention that Bern was on the guest list. She felt hopeful that he would be happy to see her and maybe even offer her the job.

After dressing in a new cocktail dress that she had purchased for just such an occasion, she tied her hair up with a few wispy strands of hair falling softly around her face. Carefully, she applied makeup and lipstick before taking a deep breath and headed downstairs to help Marcy greet the guests.

Once she was downstairs, she found Austin assisting Marcy. Together, they were the perfect hosts as they welcomed their guests for their pre-wedding gathering.

Amara held her breath when she heard Bern's voice. He's here. Breathe. Amara entered the kitchen, pretending to be looking for Marcy and hoping to avoid him until she could collect herself. Too late. A large warm hand rested on her shoulder. She turned to face the big hulk of a man that made her weak in the knees. Her shoulder tingled under his palm.

"Hi, Amara," he smiled at her.

"Hi. Nice to see you," she smiled back, licking her lips unconsciously.

Quickly, she allowed her eyes to scan him top to bottom and back again. He looked incredible and smelled even better. Biting her lip, she turned toward the counter to get a drink in an effort to stop herself from hugging him. She was blissful to see him again and her body was responding to him just as it had done before.

Bern stepped up beside her. Amara made herself a cocktail and turned to find him standing very close. He was looking at her, a gentle smile on his lips. She felt herself getting warmer.

"Amara. There you are," Marcy said as she and Austin entered the room hand in hand. "I see you've fixed yourself a drink. I was coming to do that for you."

"No need. I've got this. You go and be a hostess," Amara held up her drink and smiled at the couple. Austin and Bern exchanged a fleeting look. She had no idea what it meant, but she was certain that it was about her.

Standing so close to Bern made her palms sweaty and other parts of her were soon moist as well. Bern moved to stand directly in front of her and looked down at her.

"Are you enjoying your visit here in Pleasantville?" he asked.

Amara nodded and looked up at his sexy brown eyes. Licking her lips she responded, "Yes. It's a nice change of pace.
