“I’d like to get some air,” I said pointedly.
Bones finally looked down at me and cracked a smile. “Whatever you want, Duchess.”
He released me and took my hand, linking his fingers through mine.
We strode past my ex. I slapped a smile on my face as I met gazes of guests who I recognized but didn’t stop to greet.
Bones ushered me from the room with a sense of urgency. We didn’t speak as we walked across the marble lobby floor toward the elevators. He pushed the button, and a carriage came almost immediately.
I didn’t ask where he was taking me, I just enjoyed his command of the situation.
Bones kept his fingers linked with mine, even as we stepped out of the elevator to the Whiskey Room, the hotel’s sensuous rooftop bar with glass walls that showed off the Dallas skyline.
The fireplace roared with giant flames. Customers sat on leather couches and enjoyed after-dinner drinks and conversation.
Bones led me to the doors and we stepped out onto the roof terrace. I gulped a breath of fresh cold air and immediately shivered.
He stripped off his tuxedo jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders. I hugged it tight, a whiff of his cologne hitting my nose.
“That was your ex, wasn’t it?”
“Yeah.” I shook my head. “I had no idea he was going to be here tonight. My mother didn’t say anything?—”
“I’m not mad.”
“No?”
“Well, not at you.” He shot me a lopsided smile. “I was ready to punch his face in. But I don’t think your mother would’ve appreciated that at her event.”
“Definitely not,” I agreed. “But it might’ve been fun to watch.”
He grasped the lapels of his tuxedo jacket and pulled me close. “I need to touch you.”
I swallowed. “Touch me how?”
He gently backed me up until I hit the stone wall. Even though the city lights illuminated the sky and there were terrace lights, he’d moved me into the shadows at the side of the bar, discreetly out of view for anyone unless they walked a very specific path around the corner.
“Spread your legs, Duchess.”
I immediately spread my legs.
He caged me in with one of his hands pressing against the stone wall. The other hiked up the skirt of my dress.
Bones grazed a finger over the lace of my panties, causing me to shudder.
“I’m going to slide my fingers inside you, Duchess. I’m going to make you come and you’re not going to make a sound. Do you understand?”
I nodded eagerly.
He continued to play with the scrap of fabric shielding me from his complete touch.
I bit my lip to stifle my demand that he hurry up and make me explode.
His eyes were on me, watching me, gauging me.
Finally, he slid aside my thong and rested his finger at my warm entrance. He glided in the tip and stopped.
I glared at him, wanting to shout at him and beg him to continue.
