It’s for the best she missed the cue, because a sea of faces turns to us and admires the woman under my arm.
Payton falters in her step.
“Keep moving, sweetheart. They’re admiring you in our dress.”
Her eyes lift to mine once more and I see an ocean of vulnerability and delight in them, causing me to fight the reaction to cup her face or kiss those lips.
A server passes us, breaking the tension, and I take two flutes. Handing one to Payton, she gives me a smile and glances around.
“This is incredible.” She sips the golden bubbles and I watch her lips.
I’m obsessed.
I tear my eyes off her and see what she’s seeing. To me it’s just another industry event, but from her perspective the glitz and glamour would be tantalizing. It’s filled with designer dresses, chandeliers, caviar, and tuxedos.
I guide Payton into the crowd, and we’re immediately engulfed by people wanting to talk to me. I introduce her to a few people and observe as she makes small talk.
They’re charmed by her. She’s articulate and funny, and not at all as clunky as she is when we’re alone.
Because she’s intimidated by our chemistry.
It’s stupid to pretend it doesn’t exist. It's god damn scorching.
Tonight, deciding to bring Payton, was about testing my resolve to show my father I can enjoy the company of a beautiful businesswoman and not fuck her.
Not that he’s here to witness it, but whatever superpowers he has, I know he’ll find out.
Therefore, I have no intention of showing a single soul, including Payton, how much I crave to sink my cock inside her sweet pussy.
I do.
There, I’ve admitted it.
Now I can move on.
I lift my eyes from her and glance around the room, taking in key people I will need to talk to before leaving. I have no intention of it being a late eveni—
You have got to be kidding me!
My father’s eyes drift from the woman he is talking to and meet mine. That cunning bastard.
Is he here to watch us?
Or... I lift a brow as Alexandra places a hand on my father’s arm and leans in to say something. He drags his eyes from mine, nods at her and she wanders off.
What the fuck is going on here?
