And I’m as worthy of feeling good about myself as every other woman is.
Callan squeezes my thigh to pull me from my thoughts.“Ace.”
I give him my full attention while also thinking about how much I love a thigh squeeze from Callan.It’s hot and I’m feeling it all over my body.“I’ve got you.And honestly, you’re not going to have time to talk with people during dinner.We need every second to strategize for karaoke tonight.I just heard in the bathroom that it’s a competition.”
He grins as he removes his hand from my thigh, which I instantly miss and wish he would put back there.“Jesus, they’re ticking all your boxes.”
I return his grin.I do love a good competition.“Yes, and you better step up.We must win this.”
“What’s the prize?”
I give him a pointed look.“You know that winning is the prize.Honestly, how have you forgotten that?”
His eyes flash playfully.“I just wanted to hear you chastise me.”
I roll my eyes, shaking my head at him when he simply continues eyeing me with amusement.I then launch into a battle plan for how we can win the karaoke competition tonight.I made sure to get all the details from the girl in the bathroom and I lay it all out for Callan.
He listens closely, hanging off my every word.When I’m finished, I wait for his response, and when it doesn’t come straight away, I point at the look on his face, circling my finger and say, “Why are you looking at me like you think it’s a bad plan?I know there are a lot of details in it, and that it’s probably overkill, but—”
He cuts me off and stuns me into silence when he reaches for the base of my chair and jerks me closer to him.“I’m not looking at you like it’s a bad plan.I’m looking at you like I can’t fucking believe that I get to have you in my life.That I’m the one who gets to pull that plan off with you.”He bends his mouth to my ear.“That I’m the one who gets to take you back to our suite and have you talk nerdy to me.”
There is so much gravel in his voice and my core feels every word he utters.
Every.Single.Word.
“And Liv?”
I hold my breath.“Yes?”
“You’re gonna let me kiss you and put my hands on you tonight.And if you want me to watch while you touch yourself and show me all the ways you want me to fuck you, I’ll be more than happy to sit back and do that.”

OLIVIA
This is the best night of my life and I haven’t even kissed Callan yet.
After his declaration earlier that he would be happy to sit back and learn how I like to be touched, I had to sit through a dinner with people I didn’t care for.Callan was right about the awful couple next to him, and it turned out every couple at the table had their own version of nastiness.I had to endure all of that while thinking about having sex with Callan.
Then came the speeches, the dancing, the sharing of Callan with too.many.people.
I think we need to renegotiate our agreement to attend a wedding almost every weekend of this season.I think I’m all wedding’d out and that isn’t something I ever thought I’d say.But when it comes to sharing Callan, I no longer want to do it.
The after party began an hour ago and we’ve sat through five karaoke performances so far.It turns out that there are some other hardcore karaoke lovers here tonight.I’m impressed with their efforts.
“You ready, Ace?”Callan asks as the current song comes to an end.We’re up next.
I turn to him and assess his look.“We need to bad boy you up for this song.”
He’s amused.“How do you propose we do that?”
I eye his bow tie.“This needs to go.”I reach for it and quickly remove it.“And your jacket and vest.They need to go too.”
When he doesn’t make a move to take them off, but rather just sits and watches me with that playful look I love, I say, “Quick.We have to get up on stage.”
He relaxes back in his chair, all swagger and sex.“Feel free to take whatever item of clothing off you want.”
I blink.
