After we had finished getting ready we made our way to the gallery. We walked the red carpet but I opted out of interviews. I was not here as some PR stunt even though that was what I had told Brianna. I wanted to enjoy tonight.

“Look what the cat finally dragged in. Is this Gabriel Farrington I see.” Dominic walked up to us with his fiancé by his side.

I felt Brianna shift beside me so I put my hand on her back to steady her. She looked up at me with a small smile on her face. Every time she looked at me like that my chest warmed.

I was a fucking goner and I wasn’t even ashamed to admit it.At least to myself, inside my head.

“Well, aren’t you going to introduce us?” Dominic smirked at me.

“She already knows you asshole.” I said in a bored tone.

“Actually, we have only met in passing.” Brianna extended her hand to him. “Brianna, Gabriel’s fiancé. And you are Dominic and you must be Stella. You look stunning.”

“Manners.” Dominic gave me a pointed look. “And you want to marry this man?”

Dominic laughed which only added to my annoyance. He always knew how to get under my skin. He was like the annoying little brother I wished I never had.

“Of course.” Brianna leaned into me. “He is the love of my life.”

Dominic knew that this arrangement was fake but we would never discuss such a thing in public. The thing about high society was that you were always being watched.

I kissed Brianna's head. And then looked at Stella who was looking between us suspiciously. I had no doubt that Dominic had told her of our arrangement so I didn’t understand why she was looking at us strangely.

“Looks like we're all here.” Christian walked up to our group with a champagne flute in hand. “So glad you could make it. I hear congratulations are in order. It seems like Michael is about to become a big brother.”

“Shut the fuck up.” Dominic’s eyes went wide. “She’s pregnant?”

I was going to murder Christian.

“Oh my goodness congrats.” Stella pulled Brianna in for a hug. “So why the champagne?”

She pointed to the glass that was in Brianna’s hand.

“She’s not pregnant.” I interjected. “It was just some tabloid trying to sell their story. We aren’t expecting a baby any time soon. You shouldn’t believe everything you read Christian.”

The asshole had the nerve to smirk.

This was going to be a long night.

FAMILY FRICTIONS

Brianna

Gabriel sucked on my left breast as his large hand kneaded the other. I lay my head back into the pillow as his fingers found their way inside me.

“Gabriel.” I moaned into silence.

This was how Gabriel had chosen to wake me up and I was not complaining.

He removed his mouth from my breast and kissed his way up to my face where his lips made contact with mine. His tongue roamed my mouth, teasing my bottom lip then my top lip until I was completely awake with desire.

“I need you.” I muttered against his lips. “Please.”

“Okay baby.”

His words sent shivers down my spine.
