Page 2 of Kiss Me Ever After
Amber laughed. “Yeah, I know what you mean.”
The woman with the pins finally appeared satisfied with her handiwork and made me spin around, so she could check everything looked okay. “Beautiful!” she declared. “You’ll knock ‘em dead.”
If Justin’s reaction was anything to go by, I think I’d already done that.

Justin
Fuck,Lennon Cole looked absolutely breath-taking in that dress.
If I wasn’t working, I’d… wait, I wouldn’t do anything because I had a girlfriend.
Didn’t stop me looking though.
My mind wandered as I walked into the kitchen and dumped my tray.
There had been plenty of times in the past where we’d almost got together. I always knew nothing would ever come of it though, because Lennon only ever came to Ealynn Sands for a few weeks here and there.
Snapping myself out of it, I came to my senses.
Candace would kill me. She’d been on my radar for a while, but we’d only been going out a few weeks.
She was more than a handful. Jealous didn’t even begin to cover it. Sometimes I wondered what the hell I’d got myself into. At least she wasn’t here today with her green eyes all over Lennon.
I managed to keep my mind off Lennon until the show started. From my station at the bar, I watched all the models sashay down the makeshift catwalk. Models of all ages, shapes and sizes from the town—we weren’t talking Gigi Hadid here. Lennon stood out from the rest. I couldn’t take my eyes off the way her hips swung as she twirled around in the dress I’d seen her in earlier.
If only I wasn’t with Candace.
“Justin, can you check whether the kitchen has the glasses ready for the reception? They’ll finish the final catwalk shortly.” My boss’s request pulled me from my thoughts.
“Yeah, sure.” Reluctantly, I went down the corridor, disappointed to miss out on Lennon’s encore.
It didn’t take too long to check. Everything was ready and waiting for our signal. I backed out of the kitchen and into the corridor. In such a rush to get to the bar and see the rest of the show, I literally bumped straight into someone.
“God, I’m so sorry!” I span around to come face to face with Lennon.
She still wore the slip dress but was clutching a small bag. My gaze fell to her nipples, clearly visible through the thin material. My dick twitched.
We were alone in the hotel corridor.
We could have been caught at any moment.
I couldn’t have cared less.
“See if things were different, I reckon you and me could be good together. You’re pretty hot, Lennon, you know that?” I leaned in and wound a strand of her long, blonde hair around my finger, the action pulling her closer to me. Her breath tickled my cheek.
“You’re not so bad yourself,” she replied, biting her lower lip.
My thumb traced the outline of her mouth as I leaned in closer, inches away from kissing those plump, luscious pillows.
So close… yet…
Abruptly, I drew back as I heard my boss calling from the bar. “I have to go. Duty calls.”
“Wait… can we, um, maybe… ?”
I knew exactly what she was getting at.
