His Majesty's Measure
Page 19
“You have no idea how sweet I can be,” he said. “Stay and find out.”
“I wish I could. I really do. But I can’t.” I turned, my heart bumping around in my chest, and walked away from what could have been my wedding reception fling as the band played You’re Just Too Good to be True. I stopped in my tracks, and regret nagged at me, practically poking me in the ribs. I couldn’t help but wonder what time he got off work.
I turned to look for him. “Hey, I don’t even know your real name. What’s your name?” But he had vanished into the thick of the wedding crowd. He was so big, a force of nature. How was that even possible?
DESCRIPTION
I was an underpaid assistant working at a matchmaking agency, surviving on Insta-Ramen and dreams. How was it possible that I made a love match that resulted in the society marriage of the year?
* * *
Christmas season was upon us and I planned on enjoying this gorgeous wedding by drinking too much Champagne, eating 5 star food, and relaxing for a change.
* * *
I didn’t plan on running into the smoking hot, tuxedo-clad brick wall of a man. I didn’t plan on him stopping my fall by grabbing onto my boob and Not. Letting. Go. I most definitely didn’t plan on this gorgeous man being my new CLIENT.
* * *
Joe was heir to the Delacroix Hotel fortune, whip smart, hilariously funny, and so yummy. I was tempted to… good God I wanted to... but sleeping with clients was a big, fat ‘No-No.’
* * *
It wasn’t fair that our chemistry was through the roof. Not possible that a guy from his side of the tracks wanted someone as broken as me. Practically a sin that we couldn’t be together.
* * *
Weren’t some rules meant to be broken?
