"Honestly, I'd be more than happy to keep you safe."Claire blinked, caught momentarily off guard by the shift in his tone."Let's go." Felix extended his hand.She let him take it, his palm warm and firm around hers.An odd charge settled over the moment, her pulse ticking up despite herself.They were close enough now that she caught the faint trace of his cologne.After a beat, she tried to pull her hand back but his grip only tightened.Then, without warning, he caught her waist and pulled her flush against him.Their bodies pressed together, and Claire's breath caught.She felt the solid line of his chest against hers, heat rising to her cheeks."Felix. What are you doing?"She hadn't expected him to make a move this fast.She tried to pull back, but his voice stopped her, low and warm. "Stay still for a second."He leaned in, eyes dark and unhurried, his mouth just barely holding back a smile.Something about the air between them felt charged, deliberate."Bit cold out here," he

After a perfunctory smile in Bianca's direction, Felix's gaze immediately drifted back to Claire.She was still tucked against Julian, his arm firmly around her waist.Her eyes met Felix's, and something crackled between them a spark neither of them bothered hiding.Claire's mouth curved into a knowing smile, her eyes carrying a look meant only for him a secret shared silently across the fire.There was something undeniably alluring about the mix of sharp mischief and easy sweetness in her expression.Felix caught the message instantly, his own mouth curving into a subtle, knowing smile back.Claire turned, wrapping both arms around Julian and pressing herself against him, practically melting into his side."Julian. Let's head to the tent," she said, all sugar and coaxing warmth.Neither man watching found the display remotely irritating. If anything, both of them found themselves oddly distracted by it.On anyone else, that kind of performance would have read as excessive.On Claire,

Still urging him on, Claire stuck her tongue out playfully and traced a light path along Julian's earlobe, teasing and unhurried.Julian felt, not for the first time, that this woman was entirely too good at this.My little troublemaker, he thought, something warm and amused settling behind his eyes.He narrowed his gaze slightly, voice dropping low. "Baby. In a hurry, are we?"Claire smiled, hooking a finger under his chin to tip his face toward hers."Could it be...""Aren't you the one in a rush, Julian?"She laughed, giving his stomach a light pat with her palm before leaning in and kissing him firmly.His breath washed warm across her face, making her skin prickle pleasantly.The heat between them climbed another notch.Claire loved taking the lead like this, savoring every second of having him exactly where she wanted him.Julian let her set the pace, content to let her tease him however she liked.She looked at him, a playful smile tugging at her mouth, pressing another slow ki

Claire had been born with a naturally magnetic presence. Between her captivating eyes and her striking figure, she never had to try just standing still was enough to draw attention.Her features, too, were simply extraordinary.Sharp, elegant bone structure, flawless skin, deep expressive eyes, a mouth made for exactly the kind of smile that unraveled people she was the kind of beautiful that made even other strikingly attractive women look twice.Even in the simplest, most basic pieces, her presence still managed to feel effortlessly elevated.Between the face, the figure, and that rare, magnetic charisma, it was little wonder she'd managed to reel in half the city's most eligible men without breaking a sweat.Around the mall, heads turned wherever she walked men, women, young, old, all of it.The sales associate kept the compliments coming. "You look absolutely stunning in this one!""Your presence alone is incredible, but in white? You look like something out of a fairy tale. Hones

Claire watched Felix move, every gesture laced with the same reckless charm that had gotten her attention in the first place.She glanced down at his hand resting on her waist, an appreciative smile crossing her face.She let her eyes fall half-shut and swayed into the rhythm, climbing up against him, the two of them dancing pressed close together.Every man in the room seemed to be watching now, the energy of the whole suite spiking."Unbelievable is she doing this on purpose? I've seen plenty of beautiful women, but never anyone like her.""Who is she? Felix's new girlfriend? She's stunning."Claire and Felix, wrapped up entirely in each other, barely registered the commentary around them."Baby, you look like something out of a dream tonight," Felix murmured, his hands wandering restlessly along her waist.A flush crept over Claire's cheeks."Yeah?
