hardest.” He smirked. He traced the shell of my ear with his delicate lips.
My eyes rolled back in my head, but I quickly pulled myself back to reality.
    “If you
were truly trying your hardest, you wouldn’t flaunt your money in my face.”
    “I wanted
to flaunt something else, but you wouldn’t let me.” He kissed me gently on the
ear. I pulled back.
    “You’re
ridiculous.”
    Jason
looked at me with a confused look on his face, not used to having women turn
down his advances. His dark sparkling eyes bore into mine.
    My taxi
pulled into the parking lot. Jason tugged at my hand, pulling my attention
towards him.
    “Sophia -
I’ve never met anyone like you. I’m not going to let you get away. Tell me what
you want me to do.”
    I laughed
and shook my head. “It’s not a single thing you can do, it’s your whole
existence, your whole modus operandi. You come into this town and strip away
everything we have just to make sure you have the best of the best.”
    “I don’t have
the best of the best,” he said, taking my hand and threading his strong fingers
through mine. “Not yet.”
    I pulled my
hand away. “You may own the world, but there’s always a price.”
    Jason looked
deep into my eyes. It was a good thing I was strong because I was sure I could
fall in love with him just by staring into his eyes for too long. I tore my
gaze away from him.
    “Sophia,”
he urged, pulling me closer. “Tell me.”
    I had to
give the guy credit - he was working hard to get on my good side, and it was
almost working. I knew if I didn’t leave soon, I’d be sucked into the hurricane
that was Jason Powers.
    “Maybe if
you prove to me that you aren’t a member of the 1% who thinks they can do
whatever they want - if you prove to me you’re someone who actually cares about
Jacksonville, then maybe… maybe I’ll be interested.”
    The pool of
desire in my belly cried out to me: Kiss him! For the love of the sky and
the Earth - kiss the man! But my brain remained calm and focused on walking
towards the cab, which is what I did.
    “Sophia!”
Jason called out to me, but I was already at the door of the car. Without
turning around, I got into the backseat.
    I made my way
home, not in a fancy black car with a personal chauffer, but in a regular old
taxi.

~Chapter 4~
    Although I
knew turning down the advances of the infamous Jason Powers was the right thing
to do, I still cursed myself for my decision.
    Of all the
women in the world, Jason wanted me - me!
    That night
was spent tossing and turning in my empty bed, thinking about Jason’s
invigorating scent, his fitted gray suit, and his strong body pressed against
mine. My dreams were filled with his tender kisses and his hand sliding down
the small of my back.
    The
screeching ring of my phone tore me from my heavenly dreams. I sat up and
rubbed my eyes, wishing I could go back to sleep and dream about Jason Powers.
    Jason
Powers… ugh.
    Now that I
was awake, the thought of him disturbed me. How could I ever think he was sexy?
    The phone
screeched again. It must be my mother - the Jacksonville fair started in an hour and she
was always worried that I would sleep in. Bleary-eyed, I walked around my room,
looking for my screeching phone. Finally I found it under the red, silk dress.
I rubbed my eyes and put the phone up to my ear.
    “Hello?”
The scratchy tone of my voice revealed that I had just woken up.
    “Hi,
sleeping beauty.” Jason’s deep sexy voice sounded over the other line.
    Fuck!
    My heart
raced in my chest.
    What did
Jason Powers want from me?
    The phone
burned in my sweaty palm as I panicked, wondering what to say.
    “What do
you want?” My voice cracked.
    Shit!
    Why was
I so nervous?
    Moments ago
I couldn’t care less about the man, but my deep subconscious reminded me of the
sexy dreams I had last night. My stomach clenched.
    “I guess
someone hasn’t had their coffee yet this morning.”
    I rolled my
eyes. “I’m hanging up now.” I held the
