Except I had to mentally remove her from my mind while I was in New York…and I wasn’t even wholly successful.

Damn it. Those tits are mine. Those lips are mine. Those legs are mine.

That woman is mine.

Once the guests are done schmoozing me and leave, I glare at Peter and Garrett. After a minute of what I hope is casual conversation, Skye looks toward our table.

She smiles.

I don’t.

Peter and Garrett both sit down.

Do not sit down at that table, Skye.

She doesn’t, thank God. Another moment later, she makes her way back to our table. I excuse myself from the newcomers who have swarmed around me and take her aside, walking her swiftly out of the ballroom and to a secluded hallway.

“What was that?”

“I was talking to Peter and Garrett. They’re the only two people here I know.”

“You know a lot of people. I’ve introduced you to everyone I’ve talked to.”

“That doesn’t mean I know them.”

“You know them as well as you know Peter Reardon.”

“Not really. Peter and I have danced. We’ve had a drink.”

I grip her shoulder, not hard but in a way that makes her know I’m serious. “For God’s sake, Skye. Are you trying to drive me to distraction?”

She wiggles against my hold. “I’m trying to have a good time here.”

“Being with me isn’t a good time?”

“That’s not what I mean, and you know it. I just—”

I grab the chain beneath her silky dress and yank.

“Oh!”

“Don’t forget who you came with,” I say.

“I haven’t forgotten. I—”

I yank the chain again, this time slightly harder.

I swear to God, everything she feels on her nipples I feel quadrupled in my cock.

“Dinner is being served now. We’re going to go back to the table, eat, and then we’re leaving.”

“But it’s a ball. Aren’t we going to dance?”

“No,” I say. “We’re leaving after they thank me for my generous donation, which will happen right after dinner.”

“But—”

“No buts, Skye. You’ve already driven me out of my mind tonight. It’s time for me to return the favor.”
