“What?” I whisper, my curiosity peeking.
He points his index finger up for me to wait. “Tomorrow evening at seven. Club Libation. No, we will manage directions.” He grins. “Yes, thank you.” He disconnects the call.
“Who was that? What is going on?” I find myself genuinely interested. Eric pulls me up, totally uninterested in having sex now.Thank god for small favors.
“Go get yourself a sexy club dress.” He hands me his credit card.
“What?” I gasp. We’ve never gone dancing. He doesn’t care for dancing, clubs, or nightlife.
“That call was Mr. Starks’s assistant. He has requested us to come for a business dinner and dancing at his club Libation tomorrow evening. He’s having his team meet with me and go over my portfolio. He’s considering me for designing his new club here.”
“What? That’s great. Congratulations honey.” I hug him. I’m so excited to see him tomorrow. Mr. Starks killed two birds with one stone, one of which he doesn’t even realize. I clutch his card in my hand as I adjust my dress. “I’ll be back later. I’m going dress shopping.”
QUINTON
The day has dragged by. Two hours until Amelia is going to be walking into my world. I look at my naked body as I dress for the meeting. My hair is perfect. My scruff, perfect. I walk into my closet,Hmm, think I will go navy.I leave it casual with no tie. I hit my cologne. I’m one sexy looking son of a bitch. I can’t believe I turned down the brunette last night. It’s going on five nights of abstinence. Tonight, at least I get to see Amelia.
I arrive a little early to make sure the private room is ready; I’ve already chosen a catered menu. I think she will be pleased, remembering how she loved the oysters. I grin when I see Gerry and Marcus. “Love the suit.”
Gerry smirks. “It’s devil red,” he remarks as he swaggers over to the table, “since I’m working for the devil himself.”
I grin, shaking my head. “I told you, I didn’t get laid.”
Marcus hitches his eyebrow as he follows Gerry, wearing a black and red pin stripe suit with a matching fedora. “Let the man be. Lord knows he has no problem catching women. I’m intrigued to learn more about Ms. Amelia if she’s caught the attention of our Casanova.”
“Gerry.” I sound sterner than intended. He shrugs and smiles. I smile at Marcus. “Your beloved seems to believe I have fallen for Ms. Amelia from the B and B he sent me to over the weekend.”
“Well … well, she was quite lovely from what I recall.” He smiles at Gerry.
“You two need to behave,” I tease as I look up, seeing Andy and Michael with their respective others walking towards us. Thank god, Gerry and Marcus kept their jokes to themselves about me being attracted to Amelia.
We’re standing around the private room, shooting the shit, drinking our drinks, and when I look up, my breath is gone. She’s fucking stunning in that tight fitting sapphire club dress.Holy fuck. She would fit perfectly in my world.
“You sure there’s nothing between the two of you?” Gerry whispers in my ear, noticing my distraction. I look at him deadpan. I look back but don’t say anything, my tongue is stuck to my mouth. I only watch her cross my dance floor, heading in this direction to my private dinner room. Maria announces them.
“Thank you for the opportunity.” Eric immediately shakes my hand as I walk to them. I glance quickly down Amelia’s attire. She smiles shyly and looks away.
“Of course,” I reply. I lean over and let my lips grace her delicate cheek. “You look absolutely ravishing.” I hear her breath hitch. She smells wonderful. I step back immediately, not wanting to appear infatuated with Eric’s wife.
“I’m glad you two could come with this short of notice. But I’m not a patient man, when I get something in mind.” I grin, looking at Amelia. Eric is completely clueless, he only sees the big picture of his new potential client. I can only see his beautiful wife.
“Please, let’s take a seat.” I gesture towards the table. “This is Andy my attorney and his wife, Tierra.” I pull a chair out. “Please sit Amelia.” I place her beside Tierra. Then Eric sits automatically beside his wife. “Eric, this is Michael, the project manager.” I touch the back of Michael’s chair who Eric sits beside. “And his wife Tina.” I take my seat at the head of the table. Gerry is already seated to my right with Marcus. “And I’m sure you remember Gerry and Marcus.”
I’ve got a perfect view of Amelia. I’m glad I chose to use the round table. She exhales as I catch her watching me. She looks right sitting in my world. My attention goes to Gerry when I see him walk towards her.
“Amelia from Amelia.” Gerry beams. He takes her hand, pulling her up, giving me a knowing look. “The audacious hostess has some curves.” And twirls her around … fussing over her body.
Marcus swoons in. “You are one curvaceous creature aren’t you, you little vixen?” She laughs, noticing Eric watching her. He’s not smiling. He doesn’t like them swooning over her.
I could do some damage control, but I am enjoying the view my loyal assistant provided. I need to give him a bonus in his next check. I grin at Eric. “They’re harmless.” He laughs at my comment, still watching.
Calmly he grabs her hand. “Amelia.” I’ve never seen him touch her with gentleness. I can only imagine his roughness in the sack.
“I’ve had this dinner meeting catered,” I announce as I see the servers walking in with trays of oysters. Within a few minutes Maria returns to take drink orders. I hear Eric order for both of them, without so much as asking Amelia what she would like.
I know she likes sweet drinks. Toni makes a killer cosmo. “Maria, bring Ms. Amelia one of Toni’s cosmos.” I dare that fucktard to question me in my establishment.
She smiles as she ignores Eric glaring at her. She’s looking at the oysters. “Oysters Rockefeller,” I tell her with a nod, “please help yourselves.”
