Looking into those hypnotic eyes, Mandy felt half her anger evaporate, with the rest slowly fading as she became distracted by the warmth of his breath on her skin, the faint scent of him, and the way his tempting lips curled into a subtle grin—WTF! Noticing the grin, Mandy snapped herself out of her trance and shoot a glare at Ace. Fighting the urge to look deeper into his eyes and struggling to free her hands from his firm grasp, she roared, "Apologize! You jerk. Apologize for everything!"
"Alright, I'm sorry. And to show my sincerity, I now owe you two dates. Will you join me and Danny for dinner?" Ace promised, fully aware that Mandy wouldn't let it go until she got something from him. She'd never cash in on the dates but would delight in holding them over him at every opportunity. She was an even bigger tease than Janice or Delores.
"First, let go of my hands."
