An Introduction
JULES
My first thought as I see Grace waving me over is, please don’t be trying
to set me up with somebody.
Once I see the man she wants me to meet, my thoughts do a 180.
Maybe a setup isn’t such a bad idea, after all.
I arrived at the party late, having volunteered to close the library so
Grace could leave early to prepare for guests. I didn’t mind staying late;
Grace is not only a great boss but also a friend, and I knew she was nervous
about throwing her first actual party since moving here.
My expectations for the party weren’t much– good food, a couple of
drinks, and a few casual conversations that ended up going nowhere. I
didn’t show up at Grace and Roman’s party expecting to meet a man, and
definitely not one who looked like the one standing next to them.
Grace is tiny, five inches shorter than my 5’ 5”, so most people tower
over her. The men standing with her are no exception. I’d met Roman
several times before, so I knew he was tall, well over six feet, and with all
his muscles, twice the weight of petite Grace.
The other man is even taller, and just as fit, the lines of his muscles
visible through the knit weave of his shirt. He’s not bulky, like a
bodybuilder; it looks more like he keeps in shape through outdoor activities
like hiking or mountain biking.
His clothes are understated, but set off his assets to their benefit. Dark
jeans that emphasize his muscled legs, and a knit sweater that drapes over a
well-defined chest and shoulders. The sleeves are pushed up, exposing
strong forearms dusted with golden brown hair.
As I get closer, I notice more details about this mystery man. Like how
his hair isn’t light brown, as I initially thought it was, but a burnished
mixture of golds, oaks, and cedars. How his jaw is set at just the right angle,
strong and commanding.
A bit of golden stubble brings out the natural tan of his skin, and his lips
are full, curving up in a small smile as I approach. The smile reaches his
eyes, making small crinkles appear around them, another detail that sweeps
me off my feet.
His eyes are an incredible blend of yellow and brown; gold at first
glance, then something deeper. The colors shift with the light, giving them
an almost feline appearance, like a tiger or lion searching for prey.
I almost feel like prey myself, as his gaze falls upon me, and my heart
completes an unsteady somersault in my chest.
“Jules!” Grace skips forward and gives me a quick hug. “Are you having
a good time? I’m so glad you could make it!”
She looks so happy, so excited, it’s impossible not to smile along with
her. She beams at the mystery man.
“Alex.” Grace takes the other man’s hand and pulls him right over to us.
“This is Jules. She works at the library with me, and she’s awesome. She
loves to read, of course, working at a library, and she’s also a really talented
artist.”
