Chapter Seven

Jessie sat with Stan at a beautiful table, in a stunning ballroom, waiting for some of Stan’s gorgeous buddies to arrive. She had on a killer dress with killer heels. Stan looked sinfully GQ in his suit. The bar was flowing freely. The music was pumping.

And man, oh, man, all she could think about was getting back to her room, packing up, and heading home first thing in the morning. “I must be getting too old for these crazy party nights.”

Stan put his hand, palm up, on the table in front of her. She looked down and laid her hand on top of his. In their age old ritual, they laced their fingers together.

“You’re not old, honey. But I think you’ve finally met a guy you don’t know how to shake,” he said. “And it didn’t help when you figured out he’s not quite the ass you thought he was.”

“Not an ass? Are you kidding me? The guy is a serious Jekyll and Hyde nut job. You should have seen the way he kissed me today. And then just as quickly”—she snapped her fingers—“tossed me back like I was kryptonite.”

Jessie looked down at the red, frothy drink Stan had set in front of her and wrinkled her nose. “This is not tequila.”

“No. It’s not,” he said. “I brought you punch. The music has barely started and you’re already two shots in the hole. Let’s pace ourselves, shall we?”

She narrowed her eyes. “I’m a grown woman. Since when do you care what I drink?”

“Since the last time you were at this conference, had too much to drink, and slept with your boss.” He pushed the punch closer. “Then blamed me for not stopping you. Despite the fact I was in another state at the time.”

“Ha.” She swirled the punch around and smelled it. “No need to worry this year. I wouldn’t sleep with that arrogant ass again if he wielded the last perfect penis in the free world.”

Stan’s eyes widened with interest. “Perfect huh? Care to share? Exactly how perfect was it?”

Perfect enough that it felt much like someone had put jumper cables up her dress and proceeded to zap her with a very pleasurable electric current. She shrugged. “Meh.”

“Sure.” Stan laughed. “I’m sure it was excruciatingly boring. That’s why you’ve been running around like Cher’s stunt double for the last year.”

“I have not.” She slugged him in his big muscular shoulder. “Have I?”

Stan raised a brow. “You can kid yourself if you want to, but I’ve watched you do one asinine thing after another over the last year to avoid dealing with Grayson. Both of you are handling this like ten-year-olds. You might want to consider that he’s a little twisted up about the crazy vibe between the two of you, also.”

Jessie shook her head. “There’s no vibe. Just a huge, embarrassing mistake.”

“Okey-dokey. I’ll just sit here and pretend the sparks between you two aren’t singeing my handsome and highly paid flesh.”

Jessie laughed. “What are you talking about?”

“I’m talking
