Bitch! He’d almost had her there for a minute, and then she bolted into the elevator. Short of grabbing her arm in the public hallway, there was nothing he could do about it. Your time is coming, Vaughn Rawlston. Your time is coming.

On the dining terrace at The Black Dahlia Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Tuesday evening, December 29, 2015

The large, round table was buzzing with conversation. Vaughn sat back for a moment and just enjoyed the comradery that was in evidence. Of course, her two best friends were there, but she also enjoyed getting to know Cassandra Bainbridge and Devon Blackthorn better. Cassandra was a well-known Savannah jewelry designer and Devon was an interior designer.

The men had apparently bonded over marlin, tuna, snapper, and mahi mahi. A huge catch of the later three had been delivered to the hotel kitchen and would be on the menu as the catch of the day. Vaughn certainly planned to enjoy the fresh fish.

“So who had the biggest catch today?” She smiled to herself. Paul had pulled her chair close to his and had his arm around her shoulders. He never let much space get between them if he could help it. She had to admit she loved that.

Paul grinned and replied, “I did—a forty pound tuna. I named him Bubba. I hope you’ll order the tuna, Vaughn. He gave me a mighty fight.”

“I don’t know if I can eat a fish named Bubba. That just makes it so personal.”

Sy Blackthorn leaned over and said, “Don’t believe it, Vaughn. That fish jumped in the boat by himself. Now, the marlin I hooked and released—that was a battle.” That started the discussion of whose fish was the hardest fighter, the biggest catch, et cetera. Boys would be boys. When the meal was served, however, Vaughn had to admit that Bubba was the freshest and best tuna she’d ever eaten. Paul was beaming.

Conversation shifted to the girls’ afternoon in the spa, and Cassie and Devon divulged their plans to spend the next day getting the full treatment.

Dane Dunross was seated between Cyndy and Alexa, and he had an arm around each of them. Vaughn was interested to see just how their planned ménage would work out over the remainder of the week. Cyndy said, “Well, if you’re getting haircuts, be sure to book Eduardo Moreno. The man is a genius with scissors. I love this cut. It’s absolutely no maintenance. All I have to do is run my fingers through it.”

Cassie laughed and gathered her mane of golden ringlets in her two hands. “I doubt that would work for me with this rat’s nest.”

Beau put his hand on the back of her neck and squeezed gently. “Don’t even think about it, baby. I love your lion’s mane.”

Cassie shook her head. “Female lions do not have manes. Therein lies my problem.” Cassandra was a beautiful young woman with a wild mane of blonde corkscrew curls with platinum highlights and light turquoise-blue eyes rimmed by thick, gold-tipped blonde eyelashes.
