And I’m starting to get fucking pissed off by the fact that I can’t find her.
I circle the party once more and try to avoid making eye contact so that I won’t have to talk to anyone.
She’s simply not out here.
I look in the cabanas and by the pool. I peruse the long tables filled with guests taking their fill of caviar.
I’m just about to make my way inside when Paul comes to find me.
“Hey, Ian, wait up. Listen, I want to help you find Meg,” he says.
“Good. I’ve searched the party twice. She’s not outside. I’m about to go inside and look through all the rooms. She better turn up fast, or I’m gonna call security.”
“Good idea. I’m sure she’s around here somewhere.”
His words do nothing to soothe me. I can tell he’s just as concerned as I am. Ever since Meg’s been at the mansion, one of us has always had an eye on her.
Even when I’ve had to go to town for business, I know that at least one brother is in the mansion with her. Her safety is paramount, and I can’t have anything happen to her—especially on this night when the mansion is filled with people.
I’m thinking myself very foolish for letting her leave my side. There are so many guests here that she doesn’t know. I should’ve had security vet the place more closely.
I just wanted to celebrate. I wanted the evening to be lighthearted and fun.
I check my watch for the hundredth time and realize the fireworks are going to start soon. This is the moment I imagined spending with Meg. I was going to show her the lights in the sky and then proclaim my love to her.
That’s right.
I said love.
And I mean it, too.
It might’ve taken me this long to realize it, but Meg’s been capturing my heart since the first moment I laid eyes on her beautiful, sexy body.
The fact that she has an intelligent mind and an honest soul only adds to her appeal.
I guess you can say I’ve become beguiled by her charms. I’ve never met anybody like her ever before. She’s always offering up more layers for me to uncover.
I know we’re meant to be together, and I plan on sweeping her off her feet—just as soon as I can find her.
