the mentality of a single guy like a single guy?”
    “And Grayson has that look about him,” Sierra added, eager to add in her agreement to the plot to get those two together.  Something had to happen!  The two were crazy for each other and Scarlett was going in the wrong direction with this other man!
    “The look that warns women off?” Scarlett snapped.  Oh, this wasn’t going the way she’d planned it at all.  Not in any way!
    The others laughed softly. 
    “What’s so funny?” Harrison asked, leading the rest of the men into the room.  They were here for dinner before they all flew out to various parts of the world once again tomorrow. 
    Jina stood up, hiding her plate of cookies from her husband and daughter.  Not because she didn’t want the two of them to know she was eating them but because they would steal them from her and she was hungry!  “Scarlett needs a man-mentor.  She’s trying to get a guy to notice her and she wants someone who can give her advice.”
    Every set of eyes except for one turned to look at Grayson.  Of course, he was furiously looking down at the blond-haired woman who constantly went to great lengths to drive him nuts.  This conversation was just another case in point. 
    “We volunteered you, Grayson,” Sasha announced, leaning forward slightly so that Damon could massage the tension from her lower back.  She closed her eyes as his magic fingers accomplished the miraculous in amazing speed.  “We told her that you knew exactly what men want and would be able to tell her how to get this guy’s attention.”
    “What guy?” Grayson asked through clenched teeth, hoping that his smile didn’t look as lethal as he felt. 
    “I’m not giving you his name,” Scarlett interrupted before any of the ladies could offer him the information. 
    Grayson leaned closer, trying to intimidate her.  “Why not?  If I’m going to help you get this guy’s attention, I should know his name, shouldn’t I?”
    She turned furious blue eyes up to him, looking at him for the first time since she’d arrived.  “Like you’d help me in any way.”  She leaned back against the cushions, crossing her arms over her stomach, unaware of how the action pressed her breasts against the thin material of her silk blouse. 
    But Grayson was aware!  He was painfully conscious of her lovely breasts pressing against that material and the way her nipples were taunting him, driving him even more crazy because he’d had his chance with her.  “You know I always give you exactly what you want.” 
    She wasn’t aware of her hands fisting on her lap but the others all noticed.  “You don’t even know what a woman wants!” she snapped right back.
    “Oh, are you saying…” he stopped and looked at the others who were avidly watching the interplay between him and Scarlett.  He snapped his mouth shut, his mouth compressing into a thin, furious line.  “Never mind.  We’ll discuss this in private.”
    Malik shifted his tiny daughter on his hip.  “You gotta finish whatever it was that you were going to say, old man.  We’re all interested in what you thought she might be saying.”
    Harrison, Damon and Stefan all nodded in agreement.  Something was going on between those two and they were sick of them sniping at each other.  It had been going on for a couple of weeks now and things had almost gotten interesting with that comment. 
    When Grayson only glared at the men, Sierra stepped in, trying to ease the tension.  “About that man-mentor help for Scarlett.  What do you think Grayson?  Do you think you might be able to give her some tips on how to catch this man’s attention?”
    “I think that’s a great idea,” Malik said, finding his wife’s stash of cookies and stealing one, winking when she glared up at him.  “Being Scarlett’s mentor in finding the man of her dreams seems right up your alley, Grayson.”
    “It’s a perfect fit,” Stefan chimed in.
