"Kate, I'lad your father invited me I've wanted toabout you, but he never brought you anywhere in public I think I was a bit infatuated with you just from his description of you"

I frowned, not knohat to say

"You took photographs while you were in Africa?" he said, his voice soft, sexy "I'd love to see them See into that mind of yours and what makes you tick"

Everything he said took on a dual estive?

I took in a breath It had been a while since I saw them myself and I didn't look forward to it They were painful

"I don't knohat my father meant by that – what makes me tick They're just photos" I started off down the hallway "They're in the study"

My body was stiff, e hih the hallways to the study in the south corner of the suite One entire wall in my father's study was devoted to my photos from Africa

Drake closed the door behind us and took ently to face hio

"I'm sorry if you're unhappy that I'm here," he said and stepped closer tohis eyes "Your father wanted et to know each other I'lad he did"

"Why would he want us to get to know each other?"

"I guess because I said I thought you were a lovely young woet to know you better"

My cheeks heated at that "I thought you weren't the kind of et involved with"

"You won't let me live that doill you?"

"It's just that it would have been nice if I knew he invited you beforehand"

He stepped closer again, and this tiany desk I half leaned half sat on the edge, keeping lass of soda between us as if it was a shield, my eyes riveted to it
