She had to time this right. If she left too early, he’d just finish his speech mid-sentence and chase after her. Leave it too late and he’d be back at the table.
So, while they were handing him the certificate, she got up.
“Faith, sit down,” Alejandro said firmly.
“No.”
He gaped at her, his mouth slightly open.
Yikes.
Had she really just told Alejandro De Leon no?
Seemed that she had. She rushed away as she heard Cat calling out for her. She felt terrible about leaving her new friend. But she had to get some fresh air. She had to think about all of this for a moment without having Reuben clouding up her mind. Filling it with lust and need.
Okay, that wasn’t fair.
She could have told him no. Even if he had threatened to edge her, he would have listened to her.
Wouldn’t he?
Fuck. She didn’t know. She was walking out of the building before she realized her mistake. Crap.
She didn’t have a ticket to get back in. And she also didn’t have Cammie’s jacket. Reuben held the ticket for the coat check.
Shit! She didn’t have any shoes on either. Her feet were already freezing.
Idiot.
A shiver ran through her and her teeth chattered as she looked around. What was she going to do now?
Run away?
Urgh, you’re being an idiot, Faith.
This is what you always do. You run from your problems rather than face them.
Shame had her curling her shoulders over.
Idiot.
She should have just shaken off what that asshole had said and enjoyed the rest of her night.
Glancing around, she frowned as she saw someone who looked familiar.
Was that the same guy who was looking for the accountant the other night when she was waiting for Steven to pick her up?
She took a step forward. But he disappeared into the shadows.
Nah. It was dark, and it was probably just someone who looked similar.
Suddenly, a large arm wrapped around her waist, making her scream.
Oh God!
Someone had grabbed her. They were going to kidnap her! Why hadn’t she stayed where the doorman could see her?
She wriggled, trying to loosen his hold on her. Bringing one foot forward so she could kick back at her captor when he bent to place his mouth by her ear.
