Declan Carter was holding her hand Yes, one of her favorite actors, who had seeo when he was on top of his ga hold of her hand like he never wanted to let it go His long fingers were strong and war at her with those intense, light blue eyes Reagan re mesmerized by from his movies

Eyes that seeh her, like they never wanted to let her go They’d had that affect when she watched hi that exact effect right now, at this very , but no words wanted to come out He’d struck her silent with just a look

He still hadn’t said anything to her either, though she’d uttered a la of James…

“Talk, iving hiue or what?” James turned his attention on her “See? I told you that you look daood in that dress He can’t even speak, he’s so enraptured with you And this man can charm the panties off just about any woman”

“Shut the fuck up, Jaan

Slowly she extracted her hand fro kind of weird She felt odd, ith thisa word What was his problem?

And no as Declan enraptured with her, as James so kindly put it He could have any woman he wanted She wasn’t that special

Things hadn’t started out right Their flight had been delayed—a few tioing shopping for new outfits as they waited for their still-eous cocktail dresses so he could bring them to an exclusive party

She was thrilled to be at this party, to be in Declan’s presence But not if he wasn’t going to say anything to her

“Co her He wasn’t asking her to co her

And she was doing it Letting hi her through the croard the makeshift bar in the corner The bartender s on Declan as his expression turned serious “So to drink, sir?”

“Just water for an “For you?”

“U She should’ve asked for some sort of fancy cocktail but she didn’t know the names of any cocktails beyond a Sex on the Beach or a Blow Job shot

Yeah That would beoff dirty-named drinks

The bartender set the wineglass on the bar and Declan grabbed it, offering it to her, their fingers grazing when she took it froh her at the sihtest bit before he turned away to accept his glass of water She took a gulp of her wine, hoping the alcohol would soothe her nerves This was no big deal, right?
