My mother looked to Arnold, waiting for him to explain, but he was lost in thought, not paying attention. He lifted his drink to his mouth and downed half of it.
I frowned. My stepfather was a social drinker, but tonight he seemed to be hitting it hard.
“Kellen and Arnold went to the University of Chicago Booth School of Business together, and he’s been a long-time friend of the family,” my mother finally expounded. “And he was my rock after Kellen died. After a while, it turned into more.”
“Hmm.” Bones took a drink and then set his glass of wine down.
I looked at him, but he just picked up his fork and began eating his meal again. I glanced at Charlie. She gave me a strained smiled and shrugged before turning her attention back to Walker.
The servers cleared away our plates as Dina and Patrick started talking about where they were going to spend Christmas.
My mother picked up her glass of wine and said, “I need to make the rounds.”
“I’ll join you.” Arnold wiped his mouth on his black napkin and rose, placing a hand on the small of her back and ushering her away.
“The Selzinks just bought a place in St. Moritz. I want to ask them about it,” Dina said. “See you kids in a bit.”
“Don’t get into any trouble,” Patrick said, pinning a stare onto his daughter.
“Why are you looking at me?” Charlie asked. “I’m an angel.”
“More like a fallen angel,” I muttered under my breath, which caused Bones to laugh.
Once Charlie’s parents left the table, Charlie turned to Walker and said, “I just got a tattoo. Do you want to see it?”
“Yes,” he said, not taking his eyes off her. “Should we get some fresh air?”
“That sounds perfect,” Charlie said.
They rose from the table and without a backward glance, left the room.
“And then there were two,” I said.
“Let’s get out of here.” Bones downed the rest of his red wine and rose.
He held out his hand to me and I grasped it. He hauled me up, his hand going to my waist as we walked toward the exit.
We were stopped along the way by friends of my mother’s. I introduced Bones, we shared a few jokes, and then we politely extricated ourselves. When we were finally in the limousine on the way back to my house, I breathed a sigh of relief.
“I wasn’t sure we were going to make it out of there,” I said with a laugh. “Everyone was so curious about you. No doubt they’re gossiping now as we speak.”
“Let ‘em.” Bones pressed a button and raised the partition between us and our driver.
He undid his tie and set it aside and then he removed his tuxedo jacket.
Then he crouched on floor of the limousine in front of me.
“What are you doing?” I whispered.
His hands inched up my calves, raising my dress as he went. Bones’ grin was wicked and full of promise.
He tugged at my thong.
I lifted up and allowed him to ease it down my legs.
And then he spread my thighs. “I’m going to eat this pussy the entire way home. Keep count of how many orgasms I give you.”
He bent his head to his task.
