Lennon made him aware in a way he couldn’t remember ever having been aware of a woman before, on some emotional level he’d always managed to ignore. Ignoring Lennon was impossible, so he resorted to evasive maneuvers.
“Who’s this?” He motioned to a nearby sculpture.
Lennon followed his gaze to the marble sculpture that occupied the bower. “Calliope.”
“The muse of epic poetry?”
“Careful, black sheep, your classical education is showing.” Lennon’s whiskey-smooth eyes glinted with amusement and she cocked her head sexily to survey the sculpture.
Josh surveyed her, not nearly as enthralled with the sculpture as he was by the way the delicate gold-link chain she wore around her neck dipped into the shadows of her cleavage.
When an accented male voice rang out, “Lennon, love” he dragged his gaze from the lovely lady to see a man with a pencil-thin mustache and a goatee hurrying toward them.
A suspect.
“Get ready.” Lennon passed Josh her champagne glass and extended her hands to the newcomer in a gesture of fond welcome. “Louis, I was looking for you. Auntie Q said you wanted to hear about Venus and Adonis.” She dutifully lifted her face as the man brushed kisses on both cheeks.
“She wouldn’t tell me a thing, the devil, except to say I could find you in the bushes with a man.” Swinging a narrowed gaze to Josh, he extended a hand. “Louis Garceau.”
“Josh Eastman.”
One look at Louis’s open mouth confirmed the type of reaction Josh could expect from Miss Q’s guests this weekend. In polite New Orleans society, his grandfather’s relationship with Quinevere McDarby had been accepted, even respected for its endurance. But his grandfather’s life with Miss Q had not crossed over into his life with the Eastman family.
