CHAPTER THIRTEEN
PAYTON
––––––––
I feel like Cinderella. After all, I’m dressed in Verity & Co. couture from head to toe.
The dress is quite revealing and yet stunning, and the gold shoes on my feet feel like something out of a fairytale.
Even the purse I’m holding is from the sample closet that Mindy gave me access to. Also known as Narnia. I renamed it and the whole team thinks it’s hilarious.
Sample or not, I still feel like a princess. The fabric is divine, and every fixture is of the highest quality. There’s just something different about designer attire, despite its price. I wonder though, can you put a price on feeling like this?
In part, it’s the way Knox is looking at me, and how his body is angled protectively.
Possessively.
I’m not going to lie, when he moved in closer and put his arm around my lower back when Theodore from FMQ magazine asked me where I’d been all his life, I did not mind.
Not one little bit.
And I should probably stop drinking so much of this lovely champagne because I want to lift up on my tiptoes and kiss his broody lips.
Suddenly, Knox stiffens beside me, and I glance up to see Ward Montgomery heading our way.
Knox moves a few inches away from me, and I feel a sense of loss. Silly. But I’m reminded of what he said earlier. This isn’t a date.
I know it’s not, but being out with such a handsome man, coupled with our chemistry and his protective body language, it’s easy for a girl to get a little muddled about it.
Or wishful.
What would it be like to be Knox’s girlfriend? To have him gaze down at you and slowly drop his mouth to yours.
Oh god.
Magnificent.
I would really like to experience it. Just for one night. To feel his huge body wrap around mine, to watch those dreamy deep blue eyes of his hold mine as he filled me with his...
I can’t.
It would cost me my job, so I cut off my fantasy and figure I’ll dig out my vibrator like I did last damn night.
And the night before.
Knox slides his hands into the pockets of his black tux, and once again, I’m floored at how handsome he is. Truly, he is the most gorgeous man in the room, bar none.
“I’m surprised to see you here,” Knox says with an edge to his voice as I frown.
