“Ok.” She smiled at him, wishing he would just go away.
“So Louise, may I touch your hair? It looks so soft.” David placed his hands on her hair and ran his hands through it. “It’s beautiful.” He leaned in close and whispered in her ear, “And long enough to pull on during sex.” He stepped back and grinned at her and she smiled back with a flush on her face.
“I don’t think that’s appropriate David.” Ben looked at his brother in hostility. “You shouldn’t just feel up a woman’s hair, like that.”
“Better than grabbing her tits.” David winked at Louise and she felt a spark run through her. She’d love it if he would grab her tits.
“David!” Ben grabbed Louise’s arm and dragged her across the room. “Don’t bother listening to him. He’s a belligerent ass.”
She smiled politely and tried to not look back at David. She started daydreaming about having a sexy escapade in the garden with him. He seemed the sort that was down to have some fun. She hadn’t had sex in a year at least and was totally down for sleeping with a hunky actor. Not that she’d ever had a one-night stand before but where had her modesty gotten her? Nowhere far and she didn’t want to give up her second virginity to Ben. Not when she could be with his far hotter brother if she played her cards right.
“Dinner’s served.” A maid walked into the room and everyone followed her to the dining room. Louise was impressed by the grandeur of the room. The chandelier looked to have been made from real crystal and the cutlery was solid silver. She found herself placed between David and Richard at the table and she was happy to see that Ben was all the way on the other side of the table.
“So Louise I hope you aren’t a vegetarian.” Richard laughed as a rack of lamb was brought out along with a roast chicken.
“Oh wow, that’s a lot of meat.” Louise looked at all the dishes making their way to the table. She rubbed her stomach as it growled and laughed. “I guess you have you answer.“
Richard looked at her stomach and smiled. “It’s rare that I find a woman who actually likes to eat.” He paused and leaned in towards her. “Most gold diggers try and keep a skinnier figure than you do. I applaud you for breaking out of the mold.”
She gasped with shock and looked at him as he stared at her knowingly. “Excuse me,” she hissed as quietly as she could.
“Don’t think you’ll be getting any bucks out of Ben, honey. He doesn’t have any access to the family millions.”
“How dare you.” She narrowed her eyes at him as she spoke. “I’ve a mind…”
“Hey what are you two whispering about?” David interrupted their conversation and squeezed Louise’s knee.
“Nothing. Louise was just telling me of her plans to move up at the firm.” Richard’s voice was easy and smooth. He sounded genuinely friendly and Louise wondered if she had imagined the whole thing. “She’s such a hardworking girl. Lot’s of ambition.”
“Oh.” David sounded bored. “Let me tell you about the new movie I’m trying out for.” Louise was happy to listen to David babbling on about some new horror flick he was trying out for because she was able to turn away from Richard. She knew she would have felt a lot more hurt if she were actually interested in Ben. But she didn’t plan on seeing any of these people again and so she was able to brush it off as best as she can. Dinner was a long affair and she noticed Ben trying to make eye contact with her several times. She kept her attention on David and found herself laughing at his jokes and commentary on life as an actor.
“I love your laugh.” He leaned in and whispered as his hand ran up her thigh beneath her dress. “Though maybe I shouldn’t be saying that.”
“I don’t mind.” She smiled into his eyes naughtily while she waited to see how far his hand would go.
“I do love a naughty girl.” He winked at her and moved his hand up further. Louise held her breath as she waited to feel his fingers on her panties.
“So is this a private conversation or can anyone join?” Richard interrupted them and Louise sighed as David moved his hand from her leg. “You know Louise, if you play with fire you are likely to get burned.”
“That’s why I don’t play with fire.” She smiled at him sweetly.
“Really?” He looked down at her lap and back into her eyes. “It seems to me that you like to play dangerous games.”
“It seems to me that you don’t really know me at all.” She lashed back at him, annoyed at his constant belittling comments. “Maybe you should stick to making lots of money.”
“How much money would it take to have you in my bed tonight?” He licked his lips as the words tripped out of his lips sensually. She was caught up in the pinkness of his lips, lips that were plush and sexy. She could imagine them on her as he kissed her roughly. She shook her shoulders as she broke out of her reverie, annoyed at herself for entertaining such thoughts.
“I wouldn’t sleep with you if my life depended on it. No amount of money would entice me to sleep with a scumbag.”
“Yet, you sleep with my brother?” He looked at her curiously.
“I don’t have sex with your brother.” She hissed annoyed.
“Interesting.” He smiled to himself and turned away from her.
She looked down at her plate, suddenly exhausted. She was ready to go to bed.
“You look tired Louise.” David smiled at her. “Why don’t you drop by my room for a nightcap?“
Louise could feel Richard’s eyes on her and so she shook her head. “Thanks, but I think I’m just going to crash and sleep.”
“If you change your mind, I’m in the room two doors down from you.” He smiled at her and got up from the table. “I’ll be waiting for you sexy.” He whispered in her ear as he walked away from the table. “Excuse me please folks, I’m going to go for a run.”
Louise tried to think of an excuse to also leave the table. She needed time to think. David seemed young and fun and the only person she wanted to really talk to in the house. She contemplated going to his room: if she did, she knew she would have a fun night, knew that she would be sexually satisfied and she may even be able to continue seeing him in the City. However, she felt guilty about Ben. Even though she had no interest in sleeping with him or continuing any type of relationship with him, she knew she would feel guilty about cheating on him.
“Louise, did you enjoy your dinner?” She heard Ben’s voice besides her and looked up at his serious face. “I was trying to make eye contact with you during dinner, didn’t you notice?” His voice was cloying and annoying and Louise knew what she had to do.
“Yes, it was good thanks. And Ben, I think we need to talk.” Once again she could feel Richard’s eyes on her and something in her made her decide to get a little revenge. “I’ve been talking to your brother Richard and I’m afraid that I just can’t see you anymore.“
“What?” Both brothers’ voices were shocked.
She turned so that she faced Richard as well as Ben and saw him looking at her with narrow eyes, obviously wondering what game she was playing. “I’m not comfortable dating you knowing that your brother thinks I’m a gold digger.” She stood up as angrily as she could. “I think I’m going to retire to bed now.” She hurried out of the room and heard Ben start arguing with his older brother. She looked back in the room as she exited and saw Richard watching her as his brother lashed into him. She winked at him and smiled as she left the room and ran up the stairs in glee. She couldn’t believe she had done that, but Richard deserved it. And it stopped her from having to hurt Ben’s feelings too much.
