Chapter Fifteen

Grace took a deep inhale of the mingling perfumes sailing on the night air. They were light and fun, not cloying or obvious. Two hours. It had taken two hours for three girls to prepare themselves for a night out, but for Grace it might as well have passed in a single eye blink. She couldn’t stop running her hands down the black suede skirt she’d borrowed from Peggy, complete with fringe on the sides. Thick, thigh-high tights and a cashmere sweater made the outfit winter in Iowa appropriate, but she could imagine herself wearing it just about anywhere. One of the hipster bars in Austin where she’d always sat in the corner alone, watching everyone else interact. Or maybe at a casual political event, with Aaron’s hand on the small of her back.

Bad thoughts. Thoughts she didn’t have any right to let form. But there they were. She’d been cleaned up, lotioned down, and dressed in smooth, snug material. After wearing mismatched oversized clothing so long, she felt like a stranger in her own skin. Not in a bad way, just a light-headed, euphoric, change of pace kind of way. Just for the night. And with that feeling came a tingle of permission to act out of the ordinary. Her ordinary anyway.

Before they reached the Suburban, Aaron and Belmont appeared out of the darkness, as if they’d been lying in wait. Neither one of them was smiling, both of them with arms crossed. It was the first time Grace had witnessed their obvious brotherhood, and it made her want to push them into a man hug. Although the thought fled as fast as it appeared because Aaron’s arms dropped to his sides, that piercing gaze traveling high on Grace’s legs, disappearing up her skirt. At least the sensation of his perusal continued on, gliding along the underside of her panties, narrowing her concentration down to a slow inner clench.

“What did you do to her?” Aaron murmured, his attention finally landing on her face. “She doesn’t need all that crap on her eyes.”

“I like the crap,” Grace said, heat sliding from one side of her belly to the other. “The crap is fun and sparkly.”

A muscle shifted in Aaron’s cheek. He turned his irritation onto Peggy, who appeared to be waiting for it, amused expression in place. “I don’t know where you think you’re going. There’s no bars for miles and they close early.”

“I’m sure we’ll figure something out.” Peggy yanked open the driver’s side door of the Suburban, then snapped her fingers. “Ooh, I forgot my wallet. Be right back.”

Aaron’s sister took off toward the cabin, leaving the four of them standing beneath the bright moon, awkwardness closing in without Peggy to run interference. Aaron and Grace may as well have been standing there alone for all the attention Belmont and Sage were paying them, though, eyes locked on one another.

Wanting to give the two some privacy, Grace crossed behind the Suburban, intending to climb into the backseat, but Aaron beat her there, opening the door and holding out a hand to assist her.
