When Rameez arrived to pick Wynifred up, he struggled to find the words that would fill the awkward silence. Once again, she looked stunning, this time in an emerald green dress that draped provocatively over her curves. He had a feeling that telling her she was beautiful would only make things worse. Luckily, Haris had picked a place that was close to where she was staying. "I've got some business that will keep me busy for the next couple of days, but maybe this weekend we could get together," he said finally.

The Khalidizacks were meeting him on the island to discuss its future. Although the land was his, he wanted their input in how it would be developed. A surveyor was also going to meet them to give him an estimate on how much it would cost to clear out the overgrowth. Rameez wanted to leave as much of the island's natural beauty as possible, but the place had been unattended for far too long.

"That's fine," she said stiffly.

They pulled into the parking lot, and Rameez turned off the engine. Unable to help himself, he reached over and lightly touched her thigh. Although he wanted to skim his fingers over her bare skin, he was careful to keep her dress between them. "I need you to know that this is important to me, and that I do respect you. But, I don't see how you can do much to help us. Haris and I are never going to be as we were."

"So what do you want from this?" she asked.

He sucked in his breath and slowly moved his fingers down past her knee so he could finally touch her silky skin. Caught in her gaze, he slowly leaned across the console with every intention of kissing her.

Instead, she put her hand up on his chest and stopped him. "That's not an answer," she whispered. "How many women have you dated, Rameez? Really dated. Took the time to get to know them and actually let them into your life."

It was as if she'd doused cold water on him. Pulling back, he jerked the keys from the ignition. "That's none of your business," he said heatedly. "Come on. Let's get this over with."

Wynifred scowled at him but didn't push the issue. Rather than guiding her in like he normally did, he clenched his fist to his side and refused to touch her. Opening the door for her, he noticed that she didn't even meet his gaze.

"Mr. Molamid, it's good to see you," the host greeted them. "The other Mr. Molamid and his date are already waiting for you."

"Date?" Rameez frowned. "Why would Haris bring a date?"

Following Wynifred and the host around the corner, his gaze fell on Haris and the woman at his side, and he froze.

Haris hadn't just brought a date. He'd brought the only woman Rameez had ever loved.

Qaura.
