“Mi scusi,” a man says, and a bunch of people shift around, forcing Lily to shuffle back. Her body presses against mine. My cock is on alert.
Fuck.
Apologetic blue eyes meet mine. “Sorry.”
Damn those kissable lips.
“It’s okay.”Lies.
The elevator stops at a floor. A bunch of people file out, but another group enters. An animated conversation in Italian ensues. I can only assume they got off on the wrong floor. The problem is, the elevator is so packed, Lily’s body is still brushing against my unruly cock.
Heaven help me.
God must’ve heard my prayer, because the Italians exit on the next floor. Lily takes a long step forwards andhangs out close to the dashboard. The distance is a blessing and a curse. I now have an unobstructed view of her fine ass.
Why are you putting me through this, God?Why?
We reach her floor.
I let her step out first. Readjusting myself, I follow her down the corridor.
She stops in front of a door. “This is me.”
Mission accomplished.
I should be sprinting towards the elevator, but I remain rooted in place.
An awkward moment passes between us.
She pulls the straps of her bag over her shoulder, and dances from one foot to the other. “Thank you again for accompanying me tonight.”
Her lips are now absent of the nude lipstick with a hint of pink she was wearing earlier in the evening, making her mouth even more tempting now. The need to claim that pretty mouth nearly topples me over.
“I’m glad I was there,” I say. “Cadoc is a handful.”
Her stunning purple-blue eyes stare up at me. Several beats go by before she blinks. “Is that the only reason you’re happy you accompanied me?” Her voice trembles.
No, your beguiling self was a joy to be with.
I let out a sigh, rubbing the back of my neck with my hand.
“If this CEO gig doesn’t work out for you,” she says, “bodyguard is an option.”
“Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind.”
She bites her lower lip. “I enjoyed hanging out with you tonight, Gage.”
“Unlike your other chaperones?”
Her lips part in a huge smile. “Yes. You’re still okay with me coming out tomorrow night to Rhys’s birthday party?”
I arch a brow. “We already talked about that.”
“I can’t read your moods. Are you pissed off at me?”
I’m pissed off at you because you weren’t supposed to be this beautiful.
I’m pissed off at you because you’re eliciting emotions in me I don’t even understand.
