He dropped the tumbler in the grass and approached me. My heel got stuck in the sod, and JJ was able to reach me, pressing his lips against mine. He forced his alcohol-soaked breath into my mouth, and I gagged. I pounded my fists against him as his free hand roughly cupped my breasts.
“Let’s fuck. Find a dark corner somewhere. I’ve wanted you since the first time I saw you.”
Fear was rolling off me, and I fought not to pass out. As if in a scene from one of our movies, he was wrenched away from me. I watched as Austin struck him in the jaw and he went down to the ground. He stayed down, and when he tried to get up, he vomited down the front of his tux. By then, security had come outside, and Austin took me into his arms.
“I want this man arrested,” he told security.
“You hit him,” one of the tuxedo-clad agents said.
Austin pointed at J, who was still on the ground. “He attacked my fiancée.”
“Is this true?”
I nodded; afraid my voice would crack if I spoke. Austin led me to the bench and picked up my purse so we could leave.
“You can’t go. The police will need a statement,” The security guard said.
“Let them call us. I need to get her home.”
Austin reached into his jacket pocket and handed the security guard his business card. I clung to him as he walked me out to the front of the building as police cars were pulling up.
I was wobbly and leaned against him. “My wrap. It’s still inside.”
“Text Antonio. When he gets here, and you’re safely in the car, then I’ll go get it for you.”
After I was sitting in the car, he ran in to get my wrap. It took him fifteen minutes, and I worried he was arrested for assaulting JJ. Finally, he slipped in next to me and put his arm around my shoulders.
I sniffled back tears. “You took so long.”
“I gave my statement. The police will be calling you tomorrow. I told them you were in shock. What happened?”
“He wanted me to have sex with him. He touched me.”
“I’m glad I hit him. Thank God, I came outside. I should’ve suspected he was up to something. I saw him looking at you all night.”
I wiped at my lower lids as tears dripped from them. “He said vile, disgusting things.”
Austin reached into his inner tux pocket, extracting a white handkerchief which he used to dry my tears. “It’s over. He’s going to jail.”
“You called me your fiancée.”
“I want you to be.”
“You do?”
“I know it’s only been a few months, but I want to marry you.”
“But suppose I go to New York?”
“We’ll work it out. There’s nothing we can’t work out.”
I leaned against Austin’s side, and he cuddled me the entire way home. The events earlier had shaken me to my core. We went to Austin’s place, and he walked me to the bedroom.
“I want to shower. I feel slimy. He touched me.”
Austin shucked off his jacket and pulled his bowtie off, then came to me to assist removal of my gown. He brought me my ivory silk robe, and I slipped it on. My emotions were raw, and he stayed with me as I fumbled to remove the pins from my hair.
“I’ll do it for you.”
