I turn my phone so she can catch a glimpse of my luxury suite as I head towards the large deck.
Oohs and aahs fall from my best friend’s lips. “Nice hotel.”
“The owners are amazing. Especially the wife. Michaela is sweet, warm, and caring. And so protective.”
“You arrived in LA on Thursday. Today is Sunday, and you’re chummy-chummy with the owners of the hotel? What gives?”
I slide open the glass door to the deck and step outside.
“Gage is friends with Michaela and her husband Phoenix.” I tell Nads all about the Königs and Rhys’s party up until the point my bodyguard showed up.
“Sounds like you had fun. And, a private salsa dancing lesson with a former Reggaeton chart-topper. It’s good to be you.”
“It was amazing, Nads. Our fathers are rich, but celebrities and Hollywood people live large at a differentlevel.”
“In other words, it wasn’t a stuffy, stiff upper lip, yawn-inducing event?”
I laugh. “It was far from it.”
“What about Gage? What’s his last name again?”
“Hollingsworth.”
“He wasn’t at his friend’s party?”
I bite against my lower lip, averting my gaze.
“Don’t tell me he’s another chaperone who turned out to be a jerk or a pervert? The men your father associates with are questionable.”
“You’re absolutely right on that last point,” I say. “My father has questionable connections. Gage isn’t one of them. Although he didn’t come right out and say it, but it’s clear, he likes my father and half-brothers as much as you do.”
Nadine nods. “A man after my own heart.”
Or after mine.
“So, things are going well between the two of you?”
“A lot… has happened.”
“Fill me in.”
I play with the tip of my long braid falling over one shoulder, pondering on how I’ll drop the news on her.
“Lily, you’re keeping something from me. Your blue eyes are twinkling with mischief.”
I sigh. “Okay, I was the center of attention at Rhys’s party.”
“You?” Her head jerks back. “What happened?”
“Gage showed up out of the blue?—”
“Wait? You texted that he was going to accompany you.”
I give her the run down.
“Got it.” She nods. “So, Gage showed up out of the blue… Please continue.”
“He hoisted me over his shoulder like a warrior, dragged me to an empty storage room, stuck his fingers down myshorts, and played with my clit until I came all over his fingers while his inner circle was only a few feet away.”
