Introduction

「装う必要はないよ、可愛い子。僕たち、同じことを望んでいるんだから」彼が耳元で囁きながら立ち上がると、私の下腹部がゾクゾクと疼いた。

「随分と自信家なのね、カウアーさん」私も立ち上がって彼の前に立った。彼に自分がどれだけ影響を受けているか悟られないように。「あなたは私のことをほとんど知らないでしょう。どうして私の望みがわかるの?」

「ハナ、君が僕を見てから太腿を絶えず擦り合わせているのを見れば分かるさ」彼は壁に私を押し付けながら、胸を密着させて聞こえないほどの声で囁いた。「君の体が発するサインは見逃さない。そして今のその様子からすると、僕に抱かれることを切望しているようだ」

Chapter 1

ハナ

アリスとリアムが私のそばにいる。二人の親友は、私自身の卒業パーティーから帰らないようにと説得しようとしている。それも無理はない。ネイサンのせいで、人生で最も大切な夜の一つが台無しにされてしまったのだから。

彼は私を振った。初めて愛を交わすと思っていた夜に、私をここに一人置き去りにした。待つと約束してくれたのに、私には彼を引き留めるだけの魅力がなかったのだろう。彼は顔に罪悪感のかけらも見せず、他の誰かと寝ていたと白状したのだ。

二十一歳にもなって処女でいることが大変なのは分かる。でも、彼はそれを承知で付き合い始めたはずだ。彼はその言葉も、他のたくさんの約束も、何一つ守れなかった。

幸いなことに、本来なら私の仕事だったはずの、投資家や大企業のオーナーたちへの対応は、すべてケリー学部長がうまく立ち回ってくれた。私の優秀な成績がほとんどの仕事をしてくれたようなものだけど、ケリー学部長はいつも私に親切だった。この最悪な夜の埋め合わせに、せめて一つでも就職のオファーが来なければ割に合わない。

「あんなサイテー男、忘れなよ、ハナ。数ヶ月もすれば、彼の顔なんて思い出しもしなくなるわ。あなたには素晴らしい未来が待ってるんだから」とアリスが言う。リアムも同意するけれど、この状況をあまり気にしていないようだ。彼は私へのあからさまなアプローチを隠そうとしたことがない。

「あのビジネスマン、君を雇いたがってたみたいだったぜ」と彼が言うのが聞こえ、私は呆れて目を回す。

「彼の狙いは別のところにあったと思うけど」と私が言い返すと、二人は笑い出し、私もつられて笑ってしまった。「でも、就職のオファーは間違いなくありがたいわね」

「絶対もらえるわよ、きっと!」アリスが私を元気づけようとしてくれる。

「だといいな。早く自立して、日本の実家に戻らなくても済むようになりたい」私は希望に満ちた声で言おうと努める。

「そんな暗い顔してないで、楽しもうぜ」リアムがアリスをダンスフロアに引っ張っていく。アリスは私を一緒に連れて行こうとするが、私はその手をかわした。

すぐ前方にバーを見つけ、そこが私の目的地になった。時間はかからなかった。私が何か注文するより先に、バーテンダーが私の前に一杯のドリンクを置く。グラスを押し返すが、彼は「あなたに、とある方からです」と言って譲らない。

とある方? 本気になんてできなくて、私は鼻で笑う。しかし、バーテンダーは誰かを示すように、そっと左に首を傾けた。だから私は、示された方向へと彼の視線を追い――彼を見た。

はっきりとは見えなくても、彼が学部長と一緒にいたビジネスマンの一人で、ほとんどのメンバーよりは間違いなく若いことが分かる。四十代前半といったところだろうか。年齢の割に、とても手入れが行き届いている。

服の上からでも分かるほど強靭な体つき。ほとんど白髪に近いグレーの髪は、きっちりと後ろになでつけられている。短く整えられた髭が、シャープな顎のラインを際立たせていた。

彼は、まるで映画から抜け出してきたかのような男性だった。

馬鹿げてるくらい魅力的。私よりずっと年上なのに、言葉では言い表せないほど。彼のような男性が、私に何の用があるというのだろう。もしかして彼も私みたいに、コンタクトレンズを家に忘れてきて、よく見えていないんじゃないかしら。

しかし、彼が私のすぐそばに座ったとき、私が間違っていたことを証明された。とても、近い。頬に彼の息遣いを感じられそうで、カウンターにもたれかかっているのに、体が震える。

こんな感覚は、今まで一度も味わったことがない。

「驚かせるつもりはなかったんだ、ハナ。ただ、卒業を祝福したくてね」彼の低い声が、背筋にぞくぞくとした震えを走らせる。

「あなたは誰です? どうして私のことを?」彼の手がすぐに私の手の上にかぶさる。まるで私を落ち着かせようとするかのように。でも、効果はない。彼の感触は、私の状態を悪化させるだけだった。

「ついさっき、あのテーブルで自己紹介してくれただろう?」彼は、私たちが少し前まで学部長と一緒にいた場所を指さす。

なんてこと。彼の微笑みは、誰だってその場で骨抜きにしてしまうだろう。

彼のような男性が存在すること自体、罪であるべきだ。

「ごめんなさい、緊張していて」

「僕が怖いかい、ハナ?」私の名前を強調するその言い方に、内臓が掻き回されるようだ。呼吸が浅くなり、私たち二人の間の空間が、一秒ごとに縮んでいくように感じる。

ああ、もう、めちゃくちゃだ。

「私はただ、用心深いだけです、ミスター……」私は言葉を濁す。まだ彼の名前を知らないことに気づいて。

「カウアー。ジョン・カウアーだ」彼の指が湿ったグラスをなぞり、手つかずのドリンクを伝う水滴を拭う。狡猾な笑みを唇に浮かべ、彼は私をじっと見つめる。

カウアー。聞き覚えのある響きだけど、どこで聞いたのか思い出せない。

集中するのが難しい。彼の視線は強烈で、まるで獲物を食らいつくそうとする捕食者のようだ。恐怖を感じる。でも同時に、前に進みたいと渇望している。私は自分を奮い立たせ、ジョンがこんなにも深く私を見つめるときに襲ってくる、この感覚の渦を理解しようとする。

「ミスター・ジョン・カウアー」飲んだシャンパンの効果が現れ始め、私の声はもっと甘く、ゆっくりとしたものになる。彼の顔がこわばり、私の呼び方が気に入ったように見えた。

「君は実に魅力的な女性だ、ハナ」彼の声に含まれた掠れが背筋を震わせ、その微笑みはまだ唇に残っている。

周りの人たちは私たちを見ているだろうか。なぜ彼がこんなに近くにいるのかと訝しんでいるだろうか。でも、この期に及んで、もうどうでもよくなっていた。

All of a sudden there was a growl that ripped through the room and the band stopped playing and I heard something smash. Like it was a wooden chair or something.
Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before. He would have been in his early 20's, brown hair to his shoulders, a brown goatee, 6-foot 6 at least and very defined muscles that were now tense as his intense gaze was staring directly at me and Mason.
But I didn't know who he was. I was frozen in the spot and this man was just staring at us with pure hatred in his eyes. But then I realized that the hatred was for Mason. Not me.
