“Hey, Keiran. It’s nice to see you again.” Diana Fulton, the daughter of Keiran’s former mentor, turned enemy, sashayed through the doors leading to the garden.
“Di.” He nodded his head, but the tight line of his lips told me being cordial was the last thing he wanted. “I trust you’ve kept my brother in trouble?”
“Oh, you know it, big guy. We’ve torn the streets of L.A. apart with our whoring and ravishing.”
He grunted and then twisted his lips with amusement. “I never said I thought of you that way.”
“Then how do you see me?” she grinned and flirted.
“As a nuisance,” he replied before walking away.
“Aww, you’re just jealous because I gave you a run for your money as best man,” she called after him.
I wondered if it was all an act or if she was really that shameless considering her and Lake were somewhat close. No one could have ever predicted how close she and Keenan had become much to Sheldon’s displeasure.
She still hated that girl, though no one knew why. Not even Keenan.
When her eyes landed on me, her smile widened lasciviously. “Well… if it isn’t the King of the Boardroom, come to grace us with his presence. Or is it the bedroom that you dominate best?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know?” I regarded her carefully as she approached and felt surprised at the spark of my dick awakening. Her chest was on display for me to appreciate so I made no effort to hide my interest. It had been a while since I’d gotten laid, and though her presence affected my dick, I was safe. Her effect on me had no power where it counted.
“I would. So, what do you say we ditch this party and have one of our own?”
“I’d say that is a tempting offer, but one I’d have to decline.”
“Oh? At the risk of sounding like a desperate slut, may I ask why? You so obviously like me,” she cooed, sneaking a peek my hard-on.
“I like.”
“So?” She moved closer until her breasts were pressed against my chest. The low cut bodice allowed me to see more. So much fucking more.
“There simply isn’t enough time,” I answered smoothly. I caught the surprise before she recovered and licked her lips.
“A quick fuck can be just as pleasurable as a lingering fuck.”
“I have no doubt, but as much as I would love to fuck the shit out of you, I’d still have to decline.”
“Now I’m really curious.”
Because I couldn’t help myself, I ran a finger across the bare skin of her breasts. The hitch in her breath and her racing pulse encouraged me, but the sound of footsteps halted me. “My fiancée is waiting,” I said simply and left her standing alone.
I had my dick under control by the time I fled through the front doors. Rosalyn was now waiting outside the car, appearing annoyed, but I couldn’t care less. She was getting everything she wanted while I was getting none of what I needed. She could be kept waiting a few minutes.
“It’s about time. I don’t see why I had to wait in the car. It’s not as if your sister and I aren’t friends. Why wouldn’t she want me here?” She fired off before I could speak a word or even reach the car.
“Because it’s my sister’s wedding, not yours. This isn’t about you.” I wanted to add that my sister would rather eat her own tongue before calling her a friend but didn’t need the headache of the blow up that would follow.
“She said yes, didn’t she?”
