“Looks like it’s working.” I whispered.

Grabbing my hand, he dragged me across the dance floor and into a private alcove.

Whirling on me, he clasped his hands around my neck, not in a chokehold but more of a possessive one. “You will not flaunt yourself to another man while I can still taste you on my tongue.”

My knees grew weak. What man says things like this to a woman? The kind that wrenches your soul and makes you want to place your beating heart in his hands? I looked down because my eyes were pools of hope I didn’t want him to see.

“James, Darling. I’ve been neglectful.”

I watched as the beautiful older woman hugged him. This wasn’t hypocrisy but a true measure of affection. For the first time I saw him smile with sincerity. His hand came to her shoulder and he turned toward me.

James?

“Gia, this is Andrea Remington. She is our host and a great friend.”

I smiled. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Remington.”

She took my hand and pulled me into a warm hug. I wasn’t sure if she realized I was JP’s supposed date. If her daughter previously dated him wouldn’t that be awkward?

“Now James, you are as much a host as I. Why don’t you give yourself some credit?”

He shook his head. “Would you ladies like something to drink?” His eyes flashed when he glanced my way and I knew I wasn’t out of the woods yet.

We placed our orders and watched as he strode away, getting stopped for a chat on his way to the bar.

“I always knew my Sara wouldn’t be able to handle a man like him,” Andrea said, her gaze following JP.

I was glad she wasn’t looking at me because my eyes surely bugged out of my head.

“Excuse me?”

She looked me straight in the eye. “James is a very strong man. Not many women could handle him. Unfortunately my daughter is spoiled and naïve; her father can take the credit for that. I, on the other hand, would have raised her differently.”

She glanced away briefly as if reminiscing on past events.

“Did you know this is the first time James has brought a guest?”

Now I was stunned. A man like him could have any woman he wanted and to attend this type of function alone simply didn’t make sense.

“I wasn’t aware, no.”

She smiled the “all-knowing” smile.

“He is very different with you.”

“Have you known him for long?” I asked, desperately wanting to know more about him and divert the attention from me. Already, my feelings were slipping down into dangerous territory and I couldn’t fathom how. It had barely been a few days. And what did I know? He was wealthy and arrogant. I purposefully left out the “fantastic lover” part.

“James wasn’t your typical boy. He was precocious and well ahead of his years. He had to be.” She grew serious.

“His father was a bastard.” She whispered under her breath. She clasped her hands nervously and watched JP approach.

“There, I’ve gone and said too much, dear.
