Chapter 1: Introduction
Dagan sat at the table with Ben, staring absently at the breadbasket as the waiter refilled their wine glasses. His mind was elsewhere, fixed on the image of Ruby sitting across the room with her legs crossed, her skirt hiked up to expose her thighs. Her lips curved in a smile as she sipped champagne from a flute, her necklace dangling delicately against her chest.
Dagan felt himself drawn to her like a moth to a flame, unable to tear his gaze away from her even though he knew he should. It had been months since they last saw each other, but the chemistry between them still burned hotter than ever before.
