bet was very similar to Angela’s. “I’m always here for a good, entertaining
story.”
I heard Aaron’s resigned sigh from my side.
Angela’s grin widened. “I think I’m going to leave the honors to do that
to Aaron.” Then, she leaned and added in a hushed voice, “I’m sure his side
of the story is all the more captivating. Especially the part nobody got to see.”
Oh?
Before I could press for the details I was dying to hear, Angela’s attention
was caught by something—someone—behind us. “Oh, there’s Michael. If
you’ll please excuse me, I must go say hi.”
“Of course.” Aaron nodded, body still all stiff, although he was probably
glad Angela was moving on to someone else. “It was nice seeing you,
Angela.”
“Yes,” I gave her a polite smile. “It was a pleasure meeting you, Angela.”
“The pleasure was all mine, Catalina.” She leaned in and air-kissed my
cheek. “Don’t let him off the hook too easily.” She winked and then walked
away in the direction of the section of the rooftop where most people were
gathered. A space filled with high tables that looked straight out of a design
catalog and lines of wicker floor lamps that served as the only source of
illumination.
I turned to look at Aaron, finding that pair of blue eyes already on me.
Pushing down the slight blush climbing up my neck, I cleared my throat.
“I’m all ears, Blackford.” I brought my glass to my lips and finally finished
the sparkling wine I had been nursing for the last hour. “I think it’s time you
fill me in.”
Aaron seemed to think about his words for a moment. “As I’m sure you
have already deducted, tonight’s main event is a bachelor auction.”
“A bachelor auction,” I repeated slowly. “Just your run-of-the-mill
Saturday night activity, I assume.”
Aaron sighed.
I rolled my index finger in the air. “Keep going. I want to hear the rest.”
“I don’t think there’s much else to say.” He balanced his glass in his
hand.
“Well, forgive me, Blackford, but I think there must be plenty. Plus, I
want to make sure I understand the concept of tonight’s main event
correctly.”
He shot me a glance.
