Page 97 of Give Me Perfect Love

“Yep, I need to find my wife.” Lee winks, and I take Jace’s hand.

“Okay, what gives? Why are all you Grants wanting to dance with me?” I ask with a skeptical expression.

“Why does there have to be a reason?” he replies. “Maybe I just wanted to dance with you and that was it.”

I roll my eyes. “You know I’m insanely in love with your brother, right?”

He smiles, showing all white teeth and reminding me of my guy. “It’s so fucking good to hear you say that.”

I laugh and hit his arm. “You’re such an ass.”

“I think we both know the man you’re with is the ass.”

I look over at Bryce sitting at a table, a bourbon drink sits in front of him, and he has his fingers wrapped around it as he talks with someone. His eye catches me.

“Yeah, I can agree with that,” I say to Jace as I watch Bryce watch me.

His eyes wander over my body, and I feel it in the pit of my stomach. It’s a burning look, and I’ve never felt more wanted. He turns his head and says something to whomever he’s talking to before he downs his drink.

“Harrison,” Jace says, grabbing my attention.

His expression is serious, which is odd because he is always grinning. His brown hair has grown, and I can see the trace of a five o’clock shadow on his jawline.

“Jace,” I say in return, mocking his seriousness.

“Did you hear me?” he asks.

“No, sorry. What did you say?”

“I said, I’m glad you two found each other.”

“Me, too.” I slightly smile.

“You make him happy, and that makes me happy. He deserves it, but don’t you dare tell him I said that.” He winks.

“You have my word,” I say with a grin.

“Bryce got the hard stuff. He had to grow up quicker than he should have. But he looked out for me, Harrison, and I’ll always be grateful for him.”

Dammit, Soppy Jace, I’m not used to you.I nod because it’s the only thing I can do.

Sniffing and trying to get my emotions in check, I change the subject. “So, what’s up with you and this Michelle girl?”

A few weeks ago, Jace brought a girl out to the ranch. We were all shocked as shit. Like Bryce, Jace never dates. He’s a player and makes no apologies for it. But something is different about this one.

He actuallylikesher.

She joined us for dinner, and I think she’s great. She’s smart and plain Jane pretty. I look past his shoulder at her sitting with Lou. She’s funny, and Jace acts so different when she’s around.

He behaves, and we haven’t seen him touch a drug. She seems to be really good for him.

He gets a smirk on his lips. “We’re dating,” he says.

“Like not seeing anyone else, dating?”

He grins. “Nosy much?”

I laugh. “Just asking.”
