Monica Peterson peered over the shoulder of her best friend, straining to catch her first glimpse of Soledad's soon- to-be husband, Drake. "Where? I don't see anyone." "Right there," Soledad exclaimed, and Monica followed her lithe frame with curious eyes as she raced through the crowded airport to fling herself into the arms of an extremely handsome man. Her eyebrows knitted together as she raked her gaze over Drake Bradshaw, who was the much talked about and well- lauded love of her friend's life. "Well, she told me he was white," she muttered under her breath, navigating her way through the bustling, baggage- claim area towards them. But she hadn't quite been expecting the Stetson wearing, blond-blue eyed hunk who looked more like he'd stumbled off the last rodeo circuit and less like he was the CEO of a midsized computer software firm. "They're definitely making computer geeks in prettier packages these days." As she drew closer to the couple, she realised Drake hadn't come alone. Her gaze slid over the tall, distinguished man, his large frame encased in a custom-tailored, charcoal grey suit that fit him perfectly. He stood off to the side, his handsome face twisted into a dark frown as he stared straight at her 8 A Wicked, Wild Three Day Affair by Nadia Aidan with piercing green eyes that bore into her so deeply she almost swore he could see straight to her soul. Her steps faltered, and she cursed her four-inch, spiked- heeled sandals, but she knew her shoes had nothing to do with her stumble. It was the way he looked at her, that probing, searching stare of his that caused a curious stirring in her belly. Whoa. What the hell? He was certainly good looking. Okay, very good looking but she tamped down her body's instant and completely unexpected attraction to him. He didn't like her. She could tell by the way he openly glared at her, and when his arrogant gaze roamed over her before abruptly glancing away, she knew she wasn't going to like him, either. She shook with barely controlled anger. He'd just dismissed her. The jerk. He didn't even know her, yet he'd already written her off, which left her to ponder the identity of this mysterious and bad-mannered man. "Monica, this is Drake," Soledad gushed with a bright smile, dragging Monica's attention to the beaming couple. Shaking her head, she bit back a tiny grin. She'd never seen Soledad like this, but she was happy for her best friend. She certainly deserved a good man, and it seemed as if she'd found one in Drake. "Hello, Drake. It is certainly a pleasure to finally meet you." She stuck out her hand, but he ignored it as he tugged her into his arms for a burly hug. She was so taken aback by his friendliness that for a moment she just stood there frozen with shock. 9 A Wicked, Wild Three Day Affair by Nadia Aidan "Soledad talks about you all the time," Drake said. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you, too." "Honey, you're suffocating her." "Oh, sorry," Drake said, his arms relaxing around her. "It's fine." She smiled as she patted his back, grateful she could breathe again when he released her. END EXCERPT The three of them exchanged smiles as soft chuckles helped ease them through their first introduction, while Mister Stone-face remained aloof. Monica glanced at him, wondering again who he was and why the hell he was even there when it was so obvious that he didn't want to be. As if reading her thoughts, he stepped forward. "Hi, I'm Grant Reed, Drake's best friend and his best man," he said coolly as he extended his hand. For a second, she considered not taking it, but she knew her rude behaviour would only serve to embarrass Soledad. She grasped his hand firmly, her eyes widening when a sharp tingle raced up her arm, to fan out across her entire body. The searing jolt hardened her nipples and ignited a deep throbbing ache between her thighs. What the hell? She instantly snatched her hand away, sliding her still tingling palm up and down the side of her leg, desperately trying to ignore the wetness that stained her panties. "Hi," she mumbled stiffly, meeting his gaze, which was now clouded. He'd felt it, too, and from the hard planes of his face, he didn't like it either. Great. In three days her best friend was getting married to a wonderful man , whose best friend happened to be a world class jerk and dangerously attractive. She already knew 10
