being
kind.”  Was he?   We’d kind of moved to a different level now.  He was so
gentle with me.  Until you make him angry .  I had to remind myself of
his jealous streak.  Tonight was going perfectly so far and I didn’t want to do
anything to ruin it.  Samira wanted to introduce me to her husband so I went
with her over to the group she was talking with and she introduced me to
everyone.  I figured I would only be there for a few minutes and then I would
return to the spot where Joshua asked me to wait.  We were all making small
talk when I felt a gentle hand on my waist.  I smiled to myself as I thought it
was Joshua coming to collect me.
                “May I have this dance?”  The
voice was definitely not Joshua.  I turned to see Conrad smiling at me.
                “Hello Conrad.”  I cautiously
looked around to try to find Joshua but he was nowhere to be seen.
                “My dear, you simply take my
breath away.  You look beautiful.”
                “Thank you, you’re very kind.”
                “I’m still waiting for an
answer to my question.”
                “Would Natalia mind?”
                “Natalia has Joshua cornered. 
She won’t mind at all.”
                She had Joshua cornered,
huh?   I was surprised at how jealous and possessive I felt.  Joshua Hunter
was not a man that did anything he did not want to do.  If he was “cornered” by
Natalia, he wanted to be there.  That lit a fire in me so I decided to dance
with Conrad.
                Conrad was flirting with me
throughout our entire dance.  He even told me he wanted to come to the States
to visit me.  I laughed him off and played down his advances.  Unfortunately
there was only one man I had eyes for and apparently, tonight, he had eyes for
someone else.  I started to feel a bit sad when I heard a stern voice interrupt
us.
                “May I have this dance?”
                My body tensed when I heard
his voice and I hoped that Conrad did not feel that.  I turned to see Joshua
standing there, waiting to cut in.  I gave him a cool stare as I held firmly to
Conrad’s shoulder.
                “I am rather enjoying my
dance.  So, I am going to have to decline your request.”
                Joshua was visibly shocked by
my response but composed himself quickly.  He set his jaw and to say that his
eyes were brimming with fire was an understatement.  I had never seen that look
on his face.  He was beyond angry.
                “OK, then.  I will wait for
the next dance.”
                Joshua stood on the perimeter
of the dance floor watching us, his eyes burning a hole right through me.  He
must not have cared that nearly everyone in the room was watching his fixation
on us.  Conrad was a complete gentleman and ignored Joshua’s intense stare.  As
soon as the song ended Conrad kissed my hand.
                “Thank you for indulging me.”
                We walked off of the dance
floor and Conrad went to go socialize.  Joshua grabbed my elbow and held a
tight grip.
                “Shall we dance?”
                I didn’t have time to respond
before Joshua whisked me out onto the dance floor.  He held me tightly in his
grip as we twirled slowly around the floor.
                “Joshua, you’re holding me too
tight!”  I tried to wrench out of his grip but he pulled me closer. 
                “I thought we had an
understanding.”  He spat out the venom-filled words as he held me tight.  I
could feel his hardness pressed against me as we moved around the floor.
                I looked up at his gorgeous
face and saw his furrowed brow as passion and anger flickered in his eyes.  I
wanted to placate him so that we would not become a spectacle.  He was so
caught up
