Chapter 2

"Here, take the baby."

Ally automatically caught the infant as her brother, Dallas ,pushed the wriggling handful into her arms and hurried off into the dining room. Typical. She'd seen his savvy game of pass the baby before and refused to be the chump. Usually it was because her niece had-

"Oh, gross!"

The heavy odor of poop assaulted her nostrils. Making it really hard for her to breathe fresh air. Her niece grinned proudly as pools of saliva dripped down her chin and trickled into Ally's silk slacks. Katie's diaper sagged with God-knows-what mess, and her three strands of hair stuck straight up like Alfalfa gone horribly wrong.

"Sorry, Katie, Aunt Ally doesn't do diapers. When you get older I'll teach you how to ride a motorcycle, score a hot guy for the prom, hot wire a car, and buy your first fake ID. Till then, I'm out."

Katie crammed her fist in her toothless mouth and gnawed in delight. She sure was the cutest baby on earth.

Ally held back a laugh. She glanced quickly around to see if a relative hung by so she could do a quick swap, but most of the party guests were crowded in the kitchen and dining room near the buffet. With a sigh, she rose from the couch, swung Katie on her hip, and almost crashed into the one man who irritated her the most.

Austin Moon.

He grabbed her with firm hands before she even swayed. The heat of the contact sizzled like oil on a hot skillet, but she kept her face expressionless, determined that he never know how he affected her. Since her brother was in all time famous music producer and worked in Starr records. He and Austin became friends and was now invited to functions where business and pleasure combined into family events. She bumped into him everywhere.

"Are you okay, Dawson?"

The caressing tone of his voice stroked her belly like a velvet fist. Katie broke into a gummy smile and practically sighed. And who wouldn't? Austin was simply gorgeous. One of the top ten hottest guys on the planet to ever live.

She took a good look at his appearance. Long, perfect, gold blonde hair. His face was an odd combination of grace and strength, with a high arched brow,slashed cheekbones, and a strong chin. His nose sloped with a slight crookedness that enhanced his charm. His skin was a warm olive.

But what killed her most was his eyes.

Hazel and soulful, almond-shaped, and set off by a set of lush eyelashes. Always filled with a wicked sense of humor and a raw passion that glimmered right beneath his polished surface. He was the definition of beautiful.

Crankiness stirred. Why did he bother her? She had dated some famous singers in the past, and always retained an air of distance, enjoying their company, then moving on without a glance back. But Austin affected her by igniting a basic feminine need she'd never encountered before.

She pushed away the disturbing thought and bumped Katie higher on her hip, securing her in her arms. She made sure to keep her tone cool. "Hello, Moon. What brings you?"

His lower lip twitched. " I'd never miss Cassidy's birthday party."

"No, of course not. You don't seem to miss many events that revolve around Cassidy, do you?"

His eyebrows lifted. "Are you questioning my motives, Dawson?"

Ally hated the way he talked in his huskily voice that can make any girl wildly crazy. But she hated his body more. Solid muscles filled out his supple leather jacket Armani jacket. He wore a royal-blue button-down shirt, jeans, and Paciotti crocodile black boots. Besides killer style, he exuded a masculine power that pressed down upon her, combined with a deadly charm. He pretended not to have a care in the world, but Ally glimpsed the sharp intelligence hidden behind that facade, glinting in the depth of hazel brown eyes.

After all, she hid the same things.

Ally threw him the same charming smile. " Of course not. Just making a comment on the close personal relationship you seem to have with my brother's wife."

Austin chuckled and tickled Katie under her chin. The baby actually laughed. Even her niece was a traitor when it came to him. "Ah, but Cassidy and I are friends,no? And without your brother, my career would have never have gotten off the ground. He's done an amazing job with the music industry."

She grunted."Convenient, isn't it?"

As if knowing he irritated her, he leaned forward. She caught a scent of rich coffee, clean soap, and hint of Christian Dior cologne. Her gaze helplessly focused on those full, sculpted lips that promised sex and sin."Do you have something to say to me, Ally?" he asked in a low drawl.

Trying to fight the heat that rose to her cheeks for they're close approximately, she refused to answer. Instead, she lifted Katie and placed her in his arms. He held her with such tenderness and ease that she regretted her decision immediately." I have to go find Cassidy. Katie has a dirty diaper. Would you do us a favor and change her, please?" She smiled sweetly. "After all, you're practically family. You know where the nursery is."

And with a turn on her stiletto heel, she walked away.
