"Mr. Huntington, we are so happy to have you with us. I can assure you, your time here will be held in discreet confidence,” she puffs out her chest a bit. “I will personally see to anything needed during your stay." She smiles up at him and wraps her fingers over his hand in a forced handshake.
Beau looks at me. I can see the question in his eyes.
"I'm staying here?" He asks like it's news to him.
I roll my eyes, "I gave them Brian’s ID.” I’m a little annoyed at their insistence. “They don’t seem to have noticed the difference between you and Brian.” Both women turn to me, giving me their undivided attention for the first time since I entered the building.
Gloria turns to Beau, “I can assure you”—she is cut off as Beau ignores her and comes over to me, kissing me quickly on the temple.
He wraps an arm around my back then says, "My sweet Sammy." He then whispers, "You're being sassy." He chuckles.
"You ready?" I ask.
"I'll need to return this to Brian," Beau takes the card from my hand, and turns his green eyes to the woman still standing near the elevator. He rumbles in a deep voice that comes very close to the voice I've had the pleasure of hearing when he's aroused. He says, "Would you mind doing me a favor?" She nods and her eyes glaze a bit, making me want to stomp on his toes. The bastard is using his charm,"Would you take this up to my friend? I'd really appreciate it." He makes it sounds like he'd be willing to offer her anything in return for the simple request.
I want to kick him.
"Jackass," I mutter under my breath but loud enough for him to hear. He's still got an arm wrapped around me, with his eyes still on Gloria, his smile lifts at one corner, just the tiniest bit.
