He looked at me. “A
re you kidding? That thing is huge. How are you going to get it home?”
“You have a plane.” I smiled.
“How many rings does it take to win the bear?” he asked the attendant.
“Get one on the red bottle.”
“The red bottle?” Phillippe strained to find the red bottle.
“Yep.” The attendant pointed to the red bottle deep in the middle of the green bottles.
“I see.”
“Get a ring on it and the little lady takes the bear of her choice home.”
He looked at me. “You sure about this?”
“Yep.”
Phillippe
When I called Cameron and told him to take care of Gabriella, I had no idea this is what he was going to do. I was already having a problem being around her and to see her like this…she’s gorgeous. The way that dress hugs her curves is… and her hair. I like the curls, but straight, cascading down her back is very sexy.
I was doing fine until I saw her thigh. When she climbed into the car, that deep split revealed a beautiful thick, smooth, caramel colored thigh. I’ve always been a leg man, with my taste veering more to the long legs of models, not those of petite, curvy women.
I walked around the car, grateful for the breeze, because this woman was doing things to me I hadn’t expected. I got into the backseat and sat a respectable distance from her, still staring at her legs. She crossed her legs and although she covered them with her wrap my mind wandered. I imagined how both of those gorgeous thick thighs would feel wrapped around my hips as we…oh my God. I tried to push the thought out, but I couldn’t.
My collar and tie felt tight. I needed some air. I rolled the window down and inhaled the cool air. I managed to compose myself and pay her a compliment. “Tony, did you see how beautiful Gabriella looks?” I didn’t hear Tony’s reply, because I was focused on her.
It took a moment for it to register that she was talking to me. Her voice no longer sounded sweet and demure. In my mind it was sexy and seductive. With the help of a flat iron and an expensive gown, Gabriella went from being my sweet, young assistant to a sexy woman I wanted in my bed.
My mind was full of thoughts no good girl should know anything about…like how she would feel lying underneath me…how her skin tastes…how her voice will sound when I hit that sweet spot…how her breasts will feel in my hands…what is wrong with me? She’s not my type and she’s too young. But being around her just feels right.
I would have paid any amount of money that man asked for that bear. The look on her face when that ring landed on the red bottle was worth the five hundred dollars it cost me. I don’t know what came over me, or why I picked her up and spun her around. Why did she have to look up at me with those beautiful dark brown eyes and pouty lips, begging me to kiss her? I was about to answer her silent request, when we were interrupted.
“Sir, which bear, the one with the blue ribbon or the red bandana?”
I cleared my throat. “It’s up to her.” She handed me my jacket.
“I’ll take the red one. Thank you.”
“Would you like to try for another one?” he asked as he handed me the bear.
“I think he needs to give his arm a rest.” She smiled and winked.
I looked around the room and spotted Tony at the dart booth. “There’s Tony. Maybe you can convince him to win a friend for your bear.” She looked in the direction I was pointing and back at me with those eyes.
“I see the perfect one.” She started walking and turned back. “Coming?”
“I’ll catch up with you.” I tried not to look, but I couldn’t help myself. I looked up and my eyes landed on her hips. For the first time, I understood what my dad meant about my mother. I pulled on my collar and headed to the bar.
CHAPTER SIX
Gabriella
I LOOKED AROUND THE BALLROOM for Phillippe, but didn’t see him. I sat down with both my bears and waited for Tony to come back from the buffet. When he returned, I set out to find Phillippe. I did a turn around the room but didn’t see him. I went outside and found him in the courtyard. I thought he was on the phone, so I proceeded carefully. I tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around.
