“She was ready early tonight,” Issac says as he pushes my chair in. I smile politely at my father as he eyes me closely. I don’t know what he’s looking at or why he’s looking so hard, but it unnerves me. When he finally pulls his gaze from me, I watch him grab his glass of wine and raise it in a toast.
“Well. We’re here to celebrate the union of Issac and Pierson. I’m happy to welcome Issac as part of our family.” He goes on and on about life and love as if he knew anything about that. He isn’t capable of love. In fact, I’m not sure he even knows what the word means.
“Let us eat and enjoy,” he says when he’s finally finished.
Dinner is set before us, and the wine glasses are refilled rapidly. I pick at my food, not at all hungry. I’m on edge. I wish I knew what the plan was for tomorrow. I wish I knew what Tarek was thinking. I lift my gaze and look at him as he stands by the door. I almost think he isn’t looking at me, but then I see him wink, knowing it’s for me. A slight smile curls as I look back down at my plate. I don’t want to get caught by my father or Issac.
Dinner drags on with more wine and more food. There’s talk and chatter around the table, but I ignore most of it before excusing myself to the bathroom. I see Issac motion for Tarek to follow me.
I walk through the restaurant and find the bathroom, reaching behind me to close the door. I don’t get that far. Tarek’s large hand blocks it before shoving it open enough that he can fit inside. He slides through the door and then closes it behind him.
Like I’m prey, he stalks me through the room. His eyes are on fire, darker than I’ve ever seen, and something about that look turns me on. I squirm under his gaze until he backs me against the wall.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m about to eat,” he murmurs, causing my heart to kick up a notch. He drops to the floor in front of me and lifts my dress in his hands. The material slips over my skin causing bumps to form. Then his fingers slide into the waistband of my panties, and he slowly tugs them down.
Tarek spreads my legs apart and dives in head first. His tongue slides between my lips and finds my clit. I buck my hips, needing him closer to me. He growls and keeps licking and sucking at me until my knees shake. A finger slips inside me, and my head falls back. He keeps going until I can barely stand, and I let go. I moan my release as I feel my cum leaking down my thighs. Tarek pulls back and runs his fingers along my thigh, cleaning it up before sucking it off his fingers.
Then he’s standing to his feet in front of me, stuffing my panties into his pocket.
“I need those,” I tell him as I catch my breath.
“No, you don’t. Issac won’t be touchin’ you tonight.”
“How do you know that?”
“I’m gonna make sure of it,” he says firmly. I believe him. If he says it, it has to be true because Tarek doesn’t lie.
“Okay.”
“Use the bathroom and clean up. I’ll be outside,” he says before pressing his lips to mine. I can taste myself on his tongue, and it does something to me to know he isn’t even going to wash his face or hands. He’s going to keep me with him.
I use the bathroom after the door clicks shut and clean myself up before washing my hands. When I come out, Tarek is right there waiting for me. He nods, letting me know that I have to return to the table.
“Can’t we just run away?” I ask softly.
“I wish it was that easy, darlin’.”
“It could be.”
“You’d be hidin’ your whole life. That isn’t any life for you. You deserve more than that, and I’m gonna give it to you.” His words burn into my soul. They wrap around my heart and cause tears to prick the back of my eyes.
“No cryin’, Pierson. We got this.” I nod and take a deep breath before allowing him to lead me back to the table. He walks around like a proper gentleman and pulls out my chair before pushing it in. When I look up to thank him, he’s already around the table and back at his spot by the door.
“Are you okay? You look flushed,” Issac asks. I turn to face him and nod my head.
“I’m fine. I think it’s too much wine for me,” I tell him. It’s a lie. I haven’t drunk that much of it.
“You should slow down then.” I nod my head and smile my thanks. If he’d been paying attention to me, he’d have known I hadn’t drunk that much.
Dinner continues with dessert, and I'm exhausted by the time that’s done. I just want to go home, fall into bed, and relax for my last night of freedom. My nerves are on edge for tomorrow. I hope whatever Tarek has planned works out how he wants it because there is no way in hell I’m marrying Issac.
