CHAPTER FOUR

WHAT IN THE world was she doing?

Carli knew she should excuse herself and slip out of Justin’s arms. Instead, she just stayed there, lulling herself into the cocoon of his embrace. Not even the fact that her guests were starting to stare could seem to make her pull away. And they weren’t merely guests, she reminded herself. These were her colleagues. She’d never been anything less than professional and straitlaced in front of every single one of them. But for the life of her, she couldn’t bring herself to end the dance.

Justin was indeed an ideal dance partner. He moved with fluid grace and coordination. It was hard not to enjoy being with him this way.

More than that, she couldn’t stop thinking about the things he’d just confessed to her about his childhood. She’d heard rumors about the Hammonds’ failed marriage, of course. Hammond’s Toys was no different than any other company when it came to office gossip. But she’d never given the matter much thought. And certainly neither James nor Jackson had ever broached the topic.
