over the edge midway and swallowed hard. Matt placed his hand on her shoulder and she jumped back with a squeal.
“Don’t do that please.” Her eyes were full of fear as she glared at him.
“Are you scared?” Matt gave a sarcastic laugh and peered down at the shrinking ground.
“I’m afraid of heights.” She looked down at her feet, slightly embarrassed and fearful to show a weakness.
“Does your dad know that?” He raised an eyebrow.
“No,” She shook her head, “its ok let’s just keep going and get this over with.”
Matt moved her to the inside of the steps with his warm, strong hands and gave her a kind look of apathy. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his hot breath tingling the nerves on her neck and shoulders.
“So am I.” He chuckled softly, “But don’t tell anyone ok? It wouldn’t look good if a big, bad Navel Seal was afraid like that. You stay to the inside I will brave the front.”
The gesture made her smile widely and the two continued upward, hurrying to catch up their parents. Soon they were at the top and her father bent over, hands on his knees, to catch his breath. Elena glared at him, her breathing also rapid from the climb.
“We are taking the elevator back down.” She growled between gasps.
“Agreed.” Her father nodded and made a feebly attempt at a laugh.
The group gathered themselves on the platform and then headed out towards the edge to peer at the famous view. Kelsey lingered hesitantly behind the others, her heart now beating wildly in her chest. Fears raced through her mind, of her slipped and diving off the edge. Get it together. She coached herself, shaking off the bad thoughts. Matt glanced back, noticing her hesitating and jogged back to her side. She looked up at him once more, the fear even more obvious in her eyes than before. Her hands trembled at the thought of nearing the edge. She watched her father and Elena parade straight to the lookout area and leaned over the edge and her stomach tightened in knots. Matt placed a soothing hand on her back and led her out so she could take in the view of all of Paris in his sunlit beauty. Though frightened it was a breathtaking sight. Elena chatted politely with Kelsey, as her father disappeared out of sight, mumbling something about a call. Matt, tired of listening to the female chatter, headed for the bathrooms. As he neared the edge of one the tall pillars, her heard a familiar voice on the other side and crept up to observe. There was his new stepfather, making passes at a woman he was clearly ten years her senior.
“Oh yeah same area how neat.” He laughed and puffed out his chest, “I flew over on my private jet for business.”
The woman’s eyes widen, clearly impressed, and smiled, “Oh wow you have your own jet?”
Matt continued to listen to him brag about his company and the millions sitting untouched in the bank. His mind raced with confliction. He knew his mother would be crushed if she saw what he was doing, but he didn’t want to be the one to tell her either. The young woman pulled out a slip of paper and tore the edge, writing her number on the piece. She handed it to Daemon slyly with a wink and rejoined her group. Matt growled. It was one thing to play the field when you’re unattached but an entirely different ballgame to mess around when things are serious, especially in marriage. He suddenly realized why Kelsey was resisting him regardless of what he did . If this is what she has seen of men, no wonder she won’t open up . Moments later he returned to the woman, with Matt following close behind. He shot him an angry glance, but said nothing more. To Kelsey’s relief they headed for the elevator and back down to the solid ground once more.
