I didn't mean to! I swear!

Chapter 37: Resisting Our Urges

Falcon POV:

I've never bought into the whole "she walked in and the world stopped" crap. It's a girl big deal, get over it, take a picture. The whole romantic bullshit was lost on me so when she walked in my world didn't stop, it sped up.

There was this gorgeous girl, all soft silk and curves and she walked in through the very door I was contemplating leaving through. Everything about her shouted for my attention but not in the way I was used to, she had an understated elegance about her.

Or at least that's what I thought until she faceplanted.

Blaire POV:

The room was stiffling and i could feel the prick of eyes on me. Warranting a quick glance around I spotted the culprit, a tall shadowy man.

He sat perched in the corner, the light of the fireplace casting a golden glow on his masked face.

There was no denying he was gorgeous. What I can say it in my head!

Angles and plains, messy hair and a fitted suit. It was my type to a tee. But I couldn't make any move, I promised the girls a try not a miracle.

Wary now I stalked across the room to plant myself at the refreshments table at least there I could pretend to have fun.

I was hafways there when my heel caught in my skirts and I fell head first toward the floor. One second I was up and walking the next I was groggily rolling over to stare at the pulsing ceiling.

"Are you okay?" Someone asks pulling me to my feet. I stumble but they steady me. "That was quite a spill."

"I hate wearing dresses." I grumbled absently.

"Well I can always get you out of it."

I reeled back and stared up at my rescuer. Bloody hell it was tall dark and handsome from the fireplace. Plot twist.

He grimaced apologetic, "Sorry force of habit, you have to understand guys are wired with these reflexes. I couldn't resist."

"I didn't know guys had instincts, here I thought they were all stupidity and cave man logic." I snarked, immediately regretting it... me and my big sarcastic mouth.

The masked man looked shocked for a split second before proceeding to laugh himself sick.

"Well I can't say you're wrong, when guys are faced with beautiful ladies they usually want to throw them over the shoulder and leave." He smiled at me crookedly and winked, "some of us are good at resisting, you're still here aren't you?"

I could feel a blush enter my cheeks and he smirked at me, "You' d better keep resisting."

"I make no promises."

Nicole's POV:

"Who is that Blaire's dancing with?" Addy asked calling my attention to the two twined bodies on the dance floor.

"No clue, looks hot enough though. Maybe she's finally taking our advice."

" I still say she and-" Cane started.

"Say you think they'd be good together one more time and I'll feed you your balls." I scowled.

"I'm just saying Falcon's a known threat. We know him. What do we know about dark horse over there? Bubkis."

"Just look at them." Addy sighed watching the twirling couple.

"I am it's making me barf."

"Well we deal with you so."
