Chapter Nine

Emily whispered in Kate’s ear with what lately was an uncharacteristic giggle. “I feel like Cinderella.”

“Well, don’t look now, Cindy, but I think that’s Prince Charming walking up the stairs.” Kate whispered under her breath, “As I live and breathe, doesn’t he look sexy tonight! Good grief, he gets better looking daily.”

“Hey, Kate, chill,” Jorge growled with what sounded suspiciously like jealousy. “I’m standing right here.” Jorge Alvarado’s looks were impressive. A mind-blowingly handsome man in his own right, he had dark Spanish features and a diplomatic air he probably inherited from his father, the assistant to the Spanish Ambassador to the United States. Even after all these years, Emily still thought of him as one of her best friends.

Kate appeased him with a sexy grin and a long once over, while Emily checked him out more closely. Appraising him objectively, she had to admit Kate was one lucky girl. “Jorge cleans up nicely. Quite the thing in that tux,” Emily said.

With that, Jorge puffed up and smiled, smoothing a hand down the front of his jacket. “Thanks.” He instinctively moved closer, into Kate’s space along the step, firmly establishing his rights, making it clear she was with him.

“Oh, boys, boys,” Emily grinned noting his slick moves, “always territorializing.”

Kate MacMartin’s red curls bobbed about her head, loose ringlets occasionally flipping across her lightly freckled nose. She groaned. “Now he’s going to be impossible.”

She nudged him in the ribs and gave him a quick peck on the lips. “Don’t worry, Jorge, after I pick my eyeballs up from the stairs and shove my tongue back in my mouth, I promise, I won’t notice anyone but you.”

Instead of letting her get away with the quick buss, Jorge grabbed her and gave her a very thorough kiss. “There, just remember the promise.”

Kate melted into Jorge with a sexy smile and Emily reevaluated Jorge, more impressed than ever. She hadn’t thought he had it in him. He’d always seemed so controlled and just—just Jorge. But the air sizzled between those two, and it made Emily happy.

There was something about Jason’s expression when he stared at her that bothered her. He was still mad over last week. Explaining Mosel’s lack of trousers and her attire to a raging madman hadn’t been easy. Eventually, he’d calmed down, but he hadn’t been convinced. She was sure he would have preferred that Mosel had drowned, despite their plans, especially when she tried to explain why she’d taken off his pants. It wasn’t her fault he went commando under his clothes.

When he’d grit through his teeth, “Don’t lie to me,” and she’d said nothing. He confirmed that most of the earlier exchange was on the x-rated surveillance tapes. He’d made it clear why he hadn’t been satisfied with her explanation for her own lack of attire, let alone her choice of underwear. “I was assigned to visual surveillance. I saw everything before you blew up.”

“Seducing him is my job.”

“And you’re damn good at it, too.” Jason had spit the accusation out at her, and then said the one thing that destroyed her.
