She hadn’t just done that, Pam thought, mortified as Ethan guided her outside.

As though he seemed to understand how nervous she was, Ethan made no mention of that little incident as he led her to the long black limo waiting at the curb.

They slid into the car and as she settled on the plush leather, Ethan asked, “Have you ever been to the Bash before?”

Pam shook her head. “I’d asked…” her voice trailed off and she glanced at Ethan. Any time she mentioned Shawn’s name, the man’s face took on an icy cast. It was sexy, but at the same time, a little unsettling. It also had a very weird effect on her, the kind of effect that made her want to say Shawn’s name often, just to see what he’d do, just to see his eyes go chilly with anger…and possessiveness.

After finding out her fiancé was okay with her going out on a date with an uber-sexy guy like Ethan, seeing somebody get a little possessive felt kind of good. Although she still didn’t quite understand it, not coming from Ethan. She also didn’t understand the bratty streak he caused inside her. Pam wasn’t much for pulling the tiger’s tail, or so she’d thought.

It was confusing enough to make her a little nervous about answering him. Hesitating a little, she finally added, “I asked Shawn once or twice about going but he never wanted to.”

Which really didn’t make much sense. The man was a bit of a cheapskate but he could afford the ticket price. It was steep—tickets to the Midnight Madness Bash cost a thousand bucks a couple. But it all went to a home for battered women and children. A good cause and this was one of those places to be seen. Shawn did like being seen.

But this whole gala was a romantic, extravagant one and Shawn just wasn’t one for romantic gestures. “Shawn’s not much of a romantic type,” she added with a frown. In her hand, she held a rose that Ethan had bought from a lady inside the restaurant. The woman had walked around with a basket full of them and when Ethan had stopped her, Pam’s heart had skipped a beat.

She really did love flowers. He’d picked out a perfect red rose and when he had given it to her, Pam had felt her heart melt a little.

His hand appeared in her field of vision, gently taking the rose from her. “Women need a little bit of romance in their lives,” he said, turning the rose around and trailing the petals down her cheek.

The satiny-soft, light touch had the same effect as if he’d leaned over and kissed her. Pam shivered. “Lean back,” he murmured, sliding a little closer. “Close your eyes.”

Common sense screeched that listening to him was a bad idea. But common sense lost. She’d listened to her common sense most of her life and look where it had landed her. Resting back against the buttery soft leather seat, she closed her eyes and held her breath.
