“I don’t want them.”

And now I understood why he hadn’t long ago walked away. “You’re thinking that if you keep standing here talking to me they’ll eventually get bored and wander off. I don’t know if it’ll be that easy. They have that light in their eye.”

“What light?”

“The one you see in people who’re looking at a celebrity and see nothingbuta celebrity. It’s kind of fanatical and obsessive and shallow.” Also kind of creepy at times. “You’re a pretty feather, and they want you in their cap.”

“Guess you know what that’s like.”

“It’s the problem I’m currently having with Anthony. Again, thanks for stepping in just now.”

A glint of cunning slid into Kaiser’s eyes. “I’d say you owe me for that.”

My brows dipped. “I don’t know if I’d gothatfar.”

“Yeah, you owe me.” He closed the small space between us, making my nerve-endings light up in anticipation. “I helped you shake off that prick. Now you have to help me shake off those women.”

“How exactly?”

“By making it look like I’m not going to be available tonight.” A warm hand splayed on my lower back and pulled me against him in a move so smooth, dominant, and utterly unapologetic that a breath stuttered out of me. “As soon as they walk off, I’ll let you go.”But not beforewas left unspoken.

I should have bristled. But the part of me that yearned to submit—something I’d never confessed to anyone, not even my friends—yet had never found anyone worth my full surrender woke with a fury and rose to the surface. As if he drew it out of me just like that. As if it recognized the strength, authority, and assertiveness that seemed hardwired into him. Which made meseriouslynervous, because I already had a weakness for this man. I didn’t need anything exacerbating it.

His eyes followed the path of his free hand as he skimmed it up my arm and over my shoulder. He tugged at a lock of my hair. “Red as the devil.”

Well there were streaks of black and purple in it but, yeah, it was a deep red all right. I didn’t say that, though. I didn’t speak at all. Didn’t move. All I could think was …He’s touching me. He’s actually touching me.

Kaiser Wolfe, the man I’d once idiotically planned to marry, held me flush against him while now dancing his fingertips along my collarbone. The whole thing was freaking surreal. And my skin was tingling like a mother.

He tilted his head, his gaze flitting all over my face. “Still just a baby, really, aren’t you?”

“I’m twenty-five.”

“A baby compared to me.”

“That’s not stopping you from groping my ass.”

His lips curving ever so slightly, he dipped his head and scraped his teeth over my pulse. “Well we’ve gotta make this believable, haven’t we?”

I narrowed my eyes at his tone, sensing he thought that he was pushing me out of my comfort zone. Oh,please.I wasn’t so easy to daunt.

I twisted my mouth, watching as his eyes dropped to it. “I guess we do. I should probably do something like this, then, shouldn’t I?” I looped my arms around his neck. “And maybe this.” I nipped his jaw hard while dragging my nails over his nape and around the side of his neck, raking one over the sensitive spot behind his ear.

A little growl vibrated in his chest. Ooh, how fun. I held back an amused smirk by sheer force of will.

One hand still keeping a death grip on my ass, Kaiser skimmed his other up my side. His finger flicked the zipper at the top of my dress. Then, keeping his intense gaze locked with mine, he dragged the zipper down a few inches.

Dragged. It. Down.

More, he slipped two fingers inside my dress to sweep them along the outer side of my breast. I silently cursed my skin for liking it; silently cursed my nipples for pebbling. He wasn’t touching me like this because hewantedto. He was trying to unnerve me.

Well, if he honestly believed that I’d blush and fumble, he was out of his mind. I ground my hips against his, my heart skipping a beat when I realized his cock was hard.ThatI hadn’t expected.

Something dark momentarily blazed in his eyes. “Careful.”

I gave an innocent blink. “What? You want it to look realistic. I’m a girl who likes to grind.” I did it once more just to dick with him, ignoring how a zap of pleasure shot from my clit to my core.

Kaiser growled and pinned my gaze with his. “You do that again, I will fuck you against that column over there.”
