“I’m in the bath!”

Seconds later, the door to my bathroom flew open.

“Adrian!” I shrieked, covering my breasts. “What the hell? Don’t you knock?”

He grinned. “Nothing I haven’t seen before.”

“That was a long time ago. Were you raised in a barn? Shut the damn door.”

“Well, I’ll be damned, Cherry, you don’t have to ask me twice.” He shut the door, leaning his back against it with his arms crossed over his chest.

It was only then I noticed he was wearing a tuxedo, looking every bit the dominant and devastatingly handsome man he was.

“I meant, get out.”

“But I really want in,” he countered with a predatory regard.

“You’re vile. What do you want? You’re going to be late to your event if you don’t leave soon.”

“We’re going to be late to the gala if you don’t get dressed soon.”

“We?” I scoffed. “I’m not going. The ticket is by plate and I wasn’t even invited.”

“You’re my plus one.”

“You can’t be serious.”

“Would you like me to take someone else?”

“Yes!” I smiled. “That’d be lovely. Please shut your door on the way out.”

“Please, huh?”

I rolled my eyes as he lifted his phone to his ear.

Was he going to call a date in front of me?

“Jasmine,” he broadcasted in a sexy tone. “It’s Adrian.”

Who the fuck is Jasmine?

“I’m going to need one of your best girls tonight.”

Oh. My. God.

“Yeah, I did enjoy Josselyn’s company last time. I’d love to take her for another ride. I guess we can see how the night goes. I’m not much for sleepovers, but I wouldn’t be opposed if she wanted to ride me at the end of the night.”

My mouth dropped open, sitting straight up.

Before I knew what I was doing, I blurted, “You’re hiring a hooker?”

He covered his cell phone. “She prefers to be called an escort.”

Swiftly, he went back to their conversation as I blatantly glared at him. The anger rose inside of me. I wasn’t dumb. I knew what he was doing. He was baiting me. Adrian always played this card. Conscious that I’d fold.

I fought against it.

Truly, I did.
