gleaming even without the final body brush. Jace certainly did know how to groom a horse, and the gelding was as happy as she'd ever seen him.
    “You do good work, Jace,” she said as she patted Commander's neck. He whickered softly, taking the praise for himself. Such a male.
    “I'm guessing that watch beep means you have to go,” Jace said, his eyes following her movement on the opposite side of the horse. He frowned when she nodded. “I have to ask then...”
    Her heart started pounding for no good reason. He's taken ! She reminded herself. He's not going to ask where you're staying or if you're doing anything later. He's getting married!
    “Since you know the place so well, do you know any good places to hide?” Jace finished his question. It took a moment for Ella's brain to follow, especially since she wanted his words to be something else entirely.
    “Other than your room?” she replied, knowing it was a lame answer. She just needed a moment to resettle herself.
    “I can only hide out there so long before they learn how to pick the locks,” Jace teased. Ella couldn't stop the smile from crossing her lips.
    “Well, guests aren't really allowed in here, but I name you honorary stable boy. You can hide out in here,” she offered. Secretly, she hoped she'd run into him again and at the same time she prayed they wouldn't. He couldn't be hers and it was just asking for heartache to even imagine that she had a chance.
    “No one else is going to yell at me? Threaten to throw brushes at my head?”
    “I didn't threaten to throw a brush!” Ella laughed as he mimicked her stance when she first found him, finding that she did have the brush ready to use as a weapon. She rolled her eyes, making him laugh.
    “I don't know if I can take any other beautiful women threatening me this week,” Jace teased.
    She tried to ignore the word beautiful in the sentence. “I have a teenager come in and help out, but she won't give you any trouble. And if you see Magnus, the carriage driver, just tell him I said you could be here.”
    “Thank you.” He smiled at her and she knew he meant it. Her heart melted just a little bit more, which wasn't fair at all.
    “The only other place I would recommend is the gazebo by the lake. Not the big one where the wedding will take place, but the smaller one just a little further down the path. It's hidden, but it's actually prettier than the big one.” Ella tucked a strand of hair out of her face and shrugged. “Not many people go there.”
    “Thank you, Ella.”
    The way he said her name made her shiver. He probably did that to all the women. He was a rich, handsome man about to marry a billionaire's sister. That meant he had to have some charm. This was probably just a normal day for him.
    He probably broke hearts just by breathing and never even know it.
    Her phone chimed, reminding her that the watch beep was just the warning. She had to get going now, especially if she wanted to change and not smell like horse for the rest of the evening.
    “I have to go,” she said, turning off the alarm in her pocket.
    “More horses to groom?” Jace teased, his smile so sweet it made her ache.
    “Something like that,” she agreed. “I have a strict bedtime I have to adhere to. And lots of work before that.”
    “I don't want you to go, but I'd hate for you to turn into a pumpkin at midnight if I don't.” He grinned. Again, why did he have to be so damn charming?
    “Will you clean up when you're done?” she asked, motioning to the brushes and pointing to the spot where they belonged.
    “Of course,” he replied with a nod. “It would be my pleasure.”
    She had to go. Delores would know if she was late or if she arrived back smelling like horse and she'd never hear the end of it. Yet, her feet didn't want to move. She forced herself to pat Commander one last time, and then to move her feet away.
    As she walked to the barn door, she knew Jace would clean up and make sure that the two
