He was a sight to behold and try as she might, Dawn could not tear her gaze away from the hypnotizing mystery that lay just beyond his coffee colored orbs. She had seen the pictures and heard the stories about one of the most elligible bachelors in the business world but the rumors and tales did him no justice now that she stood mere inches from him. Her tongue darted out, licking her lower lip and she swallowed hard as he studied her silently.
"Jace Vasileios, it's very nice to meet you," he said, extending his hand towards her. Dawn and Emily had been the best of friends ever since their respective Mothers had instructed at the same seminar in New York nearly 10 years earlier. Nothing had ever come between the two girls and the bond they shared seemed only to grow stronger as each year passed. Until now. "Right," she managed, offering a weak smile as she took his hand in hers. Stilling the full body shiver that coursed through her, Dawn shoved her hand into the pocket of her well worn jeans, as if she'd been singed by his touch.
"Emily's fiancee."
