Invisible (A Night Fire Novel Book 5) by TM Watkins Page A

give off for each emotion. She could read Fraser like a book.
    “ Austin this is Seb.”
    “ Events manager at the Luxor.” Seb said as he shook his hand.
    “ Pardon?” Austin frowned.
    “ Figured you'd ask. Hey, I'm Seb.”
    “ Abbey.” she said as she wrapped her arms around Austin's waist.
    His dark blue eyes bored into Seb, clearly Austin thought the man was perving on his wife. How wrong he was. Strands of his fringe fell into is eyes, Abbey tutted and pulled the strand of black behind his ear and kissed his cheek.
    “ Did you get to the steakhouse last night?”
    “ Yeah.” Austin answered Fraser. “It was great. Do you like steaks Seb?”
    Oh lord.
    “ Absolutely. If it's great then we might go check it out. What do you think Kaylee, maybe tomorrow night?”
    I looked up at Seb who seemed pretty genuine.
    “ Sure, I'd love that.”
    Fraser huffed with what sounded like a fuck under his breath, rolled his eyes and walked away. Their little inquisition had just earned me a second date. Yippee.
    When Nate arrived Abbey and Austin slipped away. Seb became engaged in a rather deep conversation with Nate, so I took the opportunity and moved away. The view of the slinky black dress whispering in Jaxon's ear was crushing, more so when she got a kiss. Bitch.
    I was sitting on a garden bench in the darkened gardens when I heard something, two voices that were familiar.
    “ What are you doing out here?” Nate hissed.
    “ Just looking for Kaylee, why does it concern you?” Jaxon asked.
    I sipped the champagne, feeling a little light headed. This wasn't good, the last time I felt this breezy I told Jaxon to fuck off.
    “ Why can't you just leave her alone?”
    “ What? Why would I want to do that?”
    “ Are you really that blind?” Nate snarled.
    Settle down Nate, jeez. You'll end up having a coronary.
    “ Or is it that she's not good enough for you mister rock star?”
    “ What?”
    Jaxon's voice was filled with doubt and confusion.
    “ So you are blind. Damn it Jaxon, she loves you.”
    I'm going to kill him in the most painful way possible.
    “ Don't hurt her.” Nate turned and looked at him from over his shoulder. “If you do, start running because when I catch up to you, you will beg for death before I give it.”
    Whoa, Nate can be dark and evil. I think I like the freak.
    Jaxon followed him back into the house and I sat there in the dark wondering what to do now. Nate had outed me and Jaxon knew. With a rather defeated sigh, I stood and decided to brave whatever it was that life decided to throw at me.
    My mind was a little scattered, the champagne was making me rather light headed. As I wandered back into the house I ended up at the presents table, looking over the show of materialistic love. I'd rather they donate to a charity but mom said that not everyone works like that. People want to be seen giving something, she said they feel weird coming to a birthday party empty handed. My eyes stopped at the white envelope, my name scrawled with true Jaxon fashion. In a hurry.
    “ Hey.”
    With a gasp I swung around, looking at Jaxon who was leaning on the door frame. Okay life, here we go. Please be gentle with me.
    “ Hey.” I said softly.
    “ Quite a haul, you should do it every year.”
    “ Nah. I only did this for mom and dad.”
    He nodded and slowly walked over, his fingers running along the table.
    “ I have something for you.”
    It felt like my heart fell into the pit of my stomach, I gulped hard and looked into his eyes. Not exactly the wisest of things to do I suppose. He took my hand and led me through the depths of the house, finding a path to the utility room. My heart and mind had wished that the something was a kiss but being dragged through the house made it obvious that it wasn't.
    We stopped as Jaxon closed the door, smiling at me like he always does. Meaning well but doing the opposite.
    “ It's in the garage.”
    He took my hand again and led me to the external door for the
