Angie called out, “Come in,” when he knocked on the door. She took his breath away. Her strawberry blond hair was curled and hung down her back. Two diamond and emerald barrettes held her hair back from her face. She had just a touch of makeup on which accented her high cheekbones. The dress highlighted her perfect figure and hinted at the sexy body that hid beneath the silken fabric.
“Wow,” he said. “You look incredible.”
“Thank you. You look alright,” she said, grinning wickedly at him.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled him close to her, and pressed her lips against his. He opened his mouth as she pressed her tongue in.
Angie’s hands roamed over his back and Noah swore that he could feel her heat through his tuxedo jacket. He could feel his body responding to her touch and her scent.
“Baby, if you don’t stop, we aren’t going to make it to the gala. I’m going to bend you over the table, shotgun style, lift up your dress, pull down your panties, and take you right now.”
“Who says I’m wearing panties?” she asked, her green eyes sparkling with mischief. “I can’t have a panty line, you know.”
Noah groaned. “How am I supposed to take you to the gala and keep the big boy at bay knowing that you aren’t wearing panties?”
“That sounds like a you problem, not a me problem,” Angie said.
He swatted her on the ass and said, “Let’s go.”
When they arrived at the ceremonial hall, he said, “Excuse me. I need to check on something.”
Noah inspected the seating arrangements for dinner. As expected, Angie was seated next to him on his right. He groaned when he saw that Selena had been seated next to Angie. Since Selena was on the committee that arranged the gala, he figured that she would put herself as close to him as she could. He picked up Selena’s name tag and found Carolyn’s tag at a different table and switched them.
Smiling to himself, he went in search of Angie. She had found Carolyn and was holding onto her arm as though they were best friends. A couple of other women, including Selena, stood nearby.
Anna was complimenting both women on their dresses and she said, “Carolyn, you look absolutely gorgeous tonight.”
Carolyn blushed bright red. She wasn’t used to such attention, especially from Anna. Anna wasn’t mean. She just had never given Carolyn a lot of attention before.
Dinner was announced and Carolyn started to walk away.
“Where are you going?” Noah asked.
“To the dinner table,” she said.
“Come with us,” he said, holding his left arm out to her as Angie took his right. “You’re sitting next to Angie tonight.”
Her eyes widened in disbelief. “I am? But I always sit at the third table.”
“Not tonight,” he said firmly.
All eyes were on them as he walked over to the dining area with both women on his arms. He heard a couple of women gasp. Elijah and Keith chuckled. Noah smirked. This wasn’t the first time he shocked people. It likely wasn’t going to be the last.

Angie
“Is this everyone in the entire pack?” Angie whispered into Carolyn’s ear.
She surveyed the room and it was filled to overflowing. Angie wouldn’t have been surprised if there had been outdoor seating set up.
“Almost. Some people never come,” Carolyn said.
The hair on the back of her neck stood up and she felt as though a thousand holes were being burned into her skin from the eyes that blatantly stared at her. She reached for Noah’s hand under the table. He smiled at her and squeezed her hand reassuringly.
“They are curious about you,” Noah said.
Angie nodded. She sat up straight in her chair and tilted her chin up. There was no way that she was going to let anyone know that she was nervous.
