“Your face went pale.”
Yeah, because I’m scared this fake date bullshit is starting to feel all too real. “I was thinking of a work problem. Yes, add this dress to the pile.”
Lauren smiles. “I’ll be back with more suggestions.”
“Oh, I think we’re good,” Sylvie says. “It’s only three days, right?”
“I have beautiful nightgowns and lingerie I set aside. I’ll be right back,” she says and turns away excitedly, probably thinking about her commission.
Lingerie.
I run my hand over my face. Seeing her in dresses is torture, but lingerie is a different ball game.
“Listen, Grey. Are you okay?” she asks, walking up and sitting beside me. Before I answer, she continues, “You’ve been acting strange. I don’t blame you. I mean, have you looked at the price tags on the get-ups that Gigi has brought? Gives me anxiety thinking about how much all this shit is going to cost.”
I chuckle. “Cost isn’t an issue. You don’t have to worry about that at all.”
She sighs. “Then, what is it? Am I not glamorous enough even after wearing all this?” she gestures with her hands. “Because, to be honest, I get it. I thought, from a pragmatic point of view, I’d be able to come and pretend to be your girlfriend. No problem. But especially after I set foot in this place—so out of my world. It makes me realize that I'll stand out. I mean, look at Gigi, for instance. She's so?—”
“I have been looking at you,” I cut her off. I move toward her, invading her space, dipping my head. I stare deeply into her eyes. “Incessantly.”
Her breasts rise and fall, her breath labored.
“Got you quiet, didn’t I?”
“No. I mean, yes, of course, you have to look. Because, let's face it, it's an investment for you, and the better dressed I am, the more?—”
I pull her into my arms, lower my lips to hers, and quickly coax her mouth open with a swipe of my tongue. She grants me access, and the second our tongues touch, fire brews in my stomach, spreading through every part of me.
I intensify the kiss, thrusting my fingers into her hair and angling her head in the perfect position for exploring.
My cock moves in my pants. My libido jumps one notch higher when she puts her hand on my chest. Can she feel how maddeningly fast my heart thumps? I intensify the kiss, a dark part of me eager to punish her for my spontaneous lapse of control.
The problem is, the more I punish her, the more hooked I become.
She tastes divine, and when she touches my hair, little charges of awareness spread through my scalp. I’m achingly turned on in a way I’ve never been.
“You want to fuck?” I ask, my lips still touching hers.
“Yes,” she hisses.
She doesn’t know what she’s signing up for… but then again, neither do I.

Sylvie
The next few minutes unfold like a hazy dream.
I hear Grey tell Gigi to deliver the clothes to my address and throw in the lingerie I haven’t tried on with the gowns. He whispers something else to me, but I'm so aroused that my heart pounds in my ears, making it difficult to comprehend what he’s saying.
I’m still wearing the dress as we’ve both established that dealing with the lust taking over us is an urgent matter. At least I have the good sense to grab my purse and slip on my shoes.
With Grey’s fingers threaded in mine, I lean heavily on him. A stranger would think I’ve had too much to drink and need help to stay upright. Arousal is the only thing I’m drunk on as he guides me into the elevator. It’s full of people, and I’m thankful for that, or I'm sure we would do it right here.
The limo waits at the curb, and we slide inside.
Thankfully, the partition is closed, concealing us in the back of the limo. As the vehicle peels off the street, Grey pulls me to his lap, and I gladly acquiesce.
