“I should probably try to find Jesse,” Kaden said. Then he glanced at me. “Do you mind if I steal Brie for a few minutes?” 

What was she supposed to say? No? “Sure.” 

“We’ll be back before you know it.” Taking Brie’s hand in his, Kaden headed into the crowd. 

They weaved around two people, then bumped into a man with long brown hair. Both men grinned and then embraced. She wondered if that was Jesse. 

Cassie took a sip of her drink. She knew no one at this party besides Brie and Kaden, and she didn’t know Kaden all that well. Her friend had only been dating him for a few months. 

After chatting with the man with the dark hair for several minutes, Kaden and Brie disappeared into the crowd. Sighing, Cassie walked to the nearest window to look out. The building sat on a small hill, giving it a great view of the city. 

She had no idea how long she stood there, sipping her drink and watching the sun as it lowered in the sky before she felt someone come up beside her.  

“Beautiful view, isn’t it?” 

Her gaze met crystal blue eyes and she almost choked on her drink as her heart rate doubled. His blond hair had a slight wave to it, making her want to run her fingers through it to see if it was as soft as it looked. 

He smiled, making her stomach do a somersault. “I don’t think we’ve met.” He held out a hand to her and she took it out of habit. The heat from his palm radiated up her arm and went straight to that spot between her legs that had her pressing her thighs together. “I’m Jesse.”

Jesse took in the woman standing beside him. She was gorgeous. The dress she wore hinted at a body he wanted to explore and the way his pulse raced at her touch had him wanting to spend the rest of the night getting to know her in every way possible. 

“Um. I’m Cassie.” Then her eyes opened wide. “You’re Jesse?” 

“The one and only.” He smiled. “Well, not the only, but the only one here tonight that I know of.” 

She removed her hand from his and glanced around the room. “Kaden was looking for you.” 

Kaden was one of his best friends in high school. They’d kept in touch over the years and now that he was back in Kansas City, he was hoping they could hang out. But the look of concern on Cassie’s face had an uneasy feeling brewing in his gut. “Are you here with Kaden?” His old friend had said he’d planned to bring his girlfriend with him tonight. 

Cassie’s gaze returned to Jesse’s. “Yes.” She paused. “I mean. I am. Sort of. His girlfriend, Brie, is my best friend and she didn’t want to be the only woman here, so she asked if I’d come with them. I hope that’s okay.” 

The more she talked, the more he smiled. She was cute when she was rattled. “So you’re not his girlfriend?” 

She shook her head. “No.” 

Jesse took a sip of his drink, holding her gaze. “Are you anyone’s girlfriend?” 

Their gazes held for what felt like an eternity as he waited for her to answer. “No.”
