“Yep,” I said, way too bright to even remotely come across as normal. “I’m going to…..”
I met his eyes as I pulled the door open, I could get so lost in them. Movement had my eyes dipping low, his hand gripped the towel and pulled it open. I squeaked rushing through the door and slammed it shut behind me.
After what we had done last night I didn’t know why I couldn’t look at him. I seriously needed to get it together before tonight.
*~*~*
I spent a couple of hours with Eli and Miss Maggie, watching cartoons and sitting in the garden. She even brought Henry with her who was currently off having a good look around the house.
Eli was beyond pleased when he saw Henry. He hadn’t seen that cat for so long.
Kitty dragged me off to get ready a whole three hours before we were meant to leave. I managed to hold her off for half an hour but she was so persistent that in the end I gave up, said my good nights and followed her to her cottage.
She’d been shopping for a gown that was ‘appropriate’ as she put it. It had lots more material than the last one but that didn’t make it any less revealing. The dip that displayed part of my cleavage made me want to sew the gap up. The soft green material swooped in an A-line all the way to the floor.
It did make me feel like a princess but I refused to wear pumps so the new chucks that she’d bejeweled made it perfect.
We all met up in the warehouse half an hour before leaving to go over the plan, again. Ty and I were going to the event, Evan would be in the warehouse listening and watching, and Luke and Kitty would be on the main road as back up.
I didn’t
feel as apprehensive going into the country club this time, it was packed with people as soon as we got there. I hadn’t expected there to be so many but that worked in our favor as we could fly under the radar.
Ty placed his hand on the small of my back, shivers running up my spine as his hand made contact with the bit of skin on show at the back of the dress. By the grin that spread on his face, he knew what it was doing to me.
“You look stunning,” he whispered his lips grazing my ear.
“Ty.” I admonished and shook my head, but I couldn’t get the smile off my face.
We stopped next to the bar, Ty’s front against my back aware of every inch of his body that touched mine and every inch that didn’t.
“I want you so bad,” he peppered kisses down my neck, a moan escaping from me just as the bar man handed us two glasses of champagne. He gave us a knowing look and walked away.
I spun round in his arms bringing my eyes to him and chewed on my bottom lip. “Ty?”
“Hmm?” he stepped closer.
“What is this? Between us?”
“I told you before sweetheart. You were mine from the moment you stepped into my warehouse.”
“So does that mean-”
“Yeah,” he dipped his head to mine “You and me. Together.”
His slammed his lips down on mine, showing me how much he meant it. I got lost in the kiss. This wasn’t the sweet, gentle, loving kisses that we had last night. This was raw and passionate showing me just how much he meant it.
A throat clearing had us pulling apart.
“Hey.” Daley winked and raised his brows up and down.
“Hey.” Ty nodded back and picked up his drink taking a small sip. “How’s it going?” Ty tilted his head to the crowd of people.
“Yeah, good.” Daley leaned against the bar “Got loads of donations, not that these rich fuckers can’t afford it,” he laughed.
We laughed awkwardly with him, Ty nodded his head subtly to me signaling that this was the time to start my mission.
“So,” I cleared my throat “What is it the charity does?”
