I haven't seen him for three years, and I sure as hell didn't expect to see him here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe auctioneer lets out a whistle. \"Can I get 1.1 million dollars? Going once, going twice, and sold!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Austin stares at me with his gray eyes, I feel like shuddering. With his silky black hair, arresting eyes, and perfect bone structure, he definitely qualifies as handsome. But he's also intimidating. In high school, I felt a vague anxiety around him, like he would punish me if I did the slightest thing wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI remember Dad whispering to me, \"That's Mr. Love.

It's a small mercy that Janice decided to destroy my clothes after the country club closed for the day, so at least no one is going to see me leave the club in nothing but a towel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOr so I thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen I step out of the locker room, I see a man staring at me from across the room.

Ever since I was a teenager, I've had a crush on Mr. Dean. He's gorgeous with his perfectly styled chestnut hair, five o'clock shadow on his defined jawline, and mesmerizing dark eyes. I've had countless dreams featuring him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhich makes it so awkward that he's my best friend's dad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe glowers at me. What did I do? Surprising me, he growls, \"That outfit is too godd**n short.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI flush, instinctively pulling at the hem of my skirt. My French maid outfit is more revealing than what I normally wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCaught by the King\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSounding amused, the king asks, \"Were you attempting to steal one of my jeweled eggs?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wince.
