It's Mason to the rescue.<br /><br />Was it her imagination, or had he pulled her slightly closer? As he turned her in time with the music, his thigh brushed against hers. Now she was uncomfortable. By no means did she consider herself a prude, but she could have sworn more than his thigh had touched her. Just about to open her mouth to ask him to hold her less closely, the sight of Mason tapping her partner on the shoulder had her clamping her mouth shut. She wouldn’t mind a rescue, but exchanging Justin for Mason was like jumping from a campfire into a forest fire.<br />“May I cut in?”<br />Justin smiled graciously, but something in the way the two men eyed one another made Stacey catch her breath for an instant.<br />“Certainly.” Justin smiled at her and said, “I’m sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of each other, Stacey.”<br />It was only when Mason spun her back into the crowd on the dance floor, and she caught a whiff of the spicy bite of Justin’s cologne, that she realized Justin wore the same scent her husband did. Stacey shook her head slightly. Maybe that was how Jace had discovered it. After all, it was obvious the two men had re-established their long-standing friendship.<br />“Are you all right?” Mason’s rumbled inquiry caught her off guard so she nearly stumbled. He caught her, his hand on her hip where, to her chagrin, he left it. The tingling it sent along her nerve endings filled her with guilt.<br />“Yes. Get your hand off my a**.”<br />He moved it to the small of her back, his thumb stroking her spine through the silk of her evening dress. “So exactly why I love you. You appear to be such a lady, but you have a mouth like a sailor.”<br />“Mason,” she muttered. “Please don’t. This one night, can’t we have a ceasefire?”<br />“I didn’t start this war, Blondie, but I’m willing to negotiate terms.” His expression was inscrutable.Laura Browninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257184550737010323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-29206592723424046582013-10-18T17:00:23.783-03:002013-10-18T17:00:23.783-03:00Let me see what I can find...Let me see what I can find...Laura Browninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257184550737010323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-44535978930384049232013-10-18T16:59:16.830-03:002013-10-18T16:59:16.830-03:00Wipe your eyes on that guy next to you and lets go...Wipe your eyes on that guy next to you and lets go see the naked guy.
