Chapter Ten

Jarrod took Daisy’s arm as she made to stroll past him and into the restaurant. The hostess stood waiting, menus in hand as they approached.

“There you are. If you’ll both just follow me, I found a lovely table on the veranda.” She gave Jarrod a brilliant smile. “I was beginning to think you’d left.” She turned and headed into the dining room.

“And decided to stand here waiting for him to return on the off chance he hadn’t,” Daisy mumbled softly as she followed them through the dining area. -

Jarrod pressed his lips together. He couldn’t laugh and he couldn’t let on that he’d heard her. Humans didn’t hear that well. Still, just knowing Daisy felt jealous of the other woman made him feel ten-feet tall. Jarrod was a male first, and all males wanted to know that the female they desired wanted them enough to fight for them, even if it was just verbal sparring.

Still, he couldn’t resist teasing her. “Did you say something?” he asked over his shoulder as they passed through the double French doors and stepped out onto the veranda.

“No. I was just admiring the lovely skirt suit she’s wearing. It must have cost her a fortune.” Daisy’s face was as red as the napkins on the table where they stopped.

He was surely going to hell for teasing her that way, but he couldn’t help it. “Have a seat, love.” Jarrod grinned when she shivered. He knew the effect he had on her and he was glad of it. He wanted a reaction. He wanted Daisy to think about how he made her feel. He loved the way her breath hitched, and the way he could hear her heart skip a beat when he was near. Hell, she did the same thing to him. It was one of the tell-tale signs that she was his mate.

He held the chair while she sat and then seated himself across from her. He wanted to see her while they ate. He loved looking into those unusual, amber eyes with their shining blue stars. Something about her beautiful eyes drew him in.

“Thank you,” Daisy said as she picked her napkin up off the table and placed it in her lap.

“You’re welcome.” He gave her a wink before turning his attention back to the hostess. “Please have a bottle of your best wine brought to the table with two glasses,” he said with a smile. “This is a special occasion.”

“Special?” Daisy’s brows rose.

“Of course.” He snapped his napkin open and dropped it in his lap. “This is the first day you’ve been out without a guard in…how long?”

Jarrod could have kicked himself when he saw her nervously shift her gaze to the hostess who still stood at their table as though star struck. “We’d like that wine as soon as possible, if you don’t mind.”

“No. Of course not! I-I’ll have a w-waiter bring a bottle out to you as quickly as p-possible.” The woman stammered as she moved away. It was plain to see that she was reluctant to leave.
