I was always a little nervous when Hale touched me, but today I felt especially jittery. “Just eager to get my rub down.”
He frowned just as my face blanched. We both knew I hated being touched by strangers. I needed to stop acting more than my usual level of weird and chill the hell out.
Keeping his hand on my thigh, he leaned back and sighed contently. “I can’t believe we’re finally here.”
“It’s crazy,” I agreed.
“Sometimes it felt like this week would never come.”
It was interesting how differently we saw situations. For Hale, he acted like it took a lifetime for us to reach this moment. For me, it felt like we just met yesterday. In reality, we hadn’t even known each other a year and any sane person would think we were rushing to the altar at breakneck speeds.
I looked around. “Did they leave a bottle for refills?”
“Here.” He poured his champagne in my glass.
“I’m disappointed,” he whispered and I turned, panic tightening in my chest.
“Why?”
“I wanted some time alone with you today.”
“We are alone.”
“No. I mean alone, alone.” His finger dragged slowly up my thigh, parting my robe.
“Hale.” I caught his wrist. “They probably have cameras in here.”
“So?”
“So…” My face burned. “You can’t do that.”
“I think I can.” He pressed his hand deeper and stilled when he met an unexpected layer of cotton. “Are you wearing underwear?”
“Don’t laugh at me. You know I’m uncomfortable being naked in front of people.”
He withdrew his hand and smirked. “I’ll admit, I’m a little pleased.”
I looked down at his lap. “Are you wearing?—”
He flashed his cock.
“Jesus, Hale!”
He laughed. “What are they going to do, Rayne?”
“You can’t just expose yourself like that in public places.”
“We’re not in public.”
“What about the cameras? You’re suddenly an exhibitionist? Flashing people with that semi-hard Gonzo nose. Let’s see the tabloids publish that?”
“I think they’ll need bigger pages.”
I scoffed and rolled my eyes. “God has some sense of humor.”
“What does that mean?”
“Just that the assembly lines up there aren’t all functioning at the same efficiency when they’re deciding which humans get what parts.” I shook my head, refusing to look at him and the small tent he’d pitched between his legs. “You’re already too pretty, but then they gave you that thing. I swear, you could make a horse jealous.”
