This day is not going well.
Anyone know the number to the nearest graveyard?
I’m definitely digging my own hole at this point.
When I finally get enough courage to glance at London, he’s full-on grinning at me. I bite my lip, so confused.
“What in the actual hell?” Big Boobs spits out, her chest heaving.
“Rebecca, we’re trying to work here. I suggest you do the same,” London says, turning back to me and totally shutting her out. “You know, Lil, why don’t we take this upstairs so we can focus?”
Elation floods through me, knowing that London wants to take us away from the immediate vicinity of this woman and her boobish advances.
She was practically throwing herself at him and he couldn’t care less.
I don’t know why that makes me so giddy, but it does.
Well, until reality hits me.
I mean, let’s be real.
I’m totally fine getting away from her, but going upstairs—to the Upper Tier’s lair—there’s something about the idea that screams‘Danger, Will Robinson!’
It’s where thesexinesshappens.
But it’s also where the event will happen.
“I—sure,” I say, fighting an internal battle that won’t end well. “Lead the way.”
CHAPTER13
Lily
“Do you want to see the rooms?” London asks when the elevator door opens.
“I mean, I guess? Yes, it would probably be the way to go. But it feels weird. Does it feel weird to you?” I ask, my insides suddenly feeling like they’ve been struck by lightning.
He laughs. “I wouldn’t really say it feels weird. No one is here, so they’re just empty rooms. Now, if they wereoccupied…”
“Totalweirdfest,” I say, giggling like a lunatic at the thought.
God, could you imagine?
Yes, yes I could and it’s making my nether regions heat up.Not good.
London shakes his head. “Come on.”
He leads the way, walking down a dark, exotic-looking hallway. The wallpaper is a deep red velvet with black embellishments. Everywhere I look, there are draped fabrics, different textures, plants, and sensual paintings or prints. Some of the paintings are so provocative, even they make my pulse race.
Despite myself, I stop in front of one. It’s a large piece, easily five feet by seven feet. It depicts a couple in the act—the woman on top, the man embracing her protectively. The colors are bold, giving it an abstract and colorful vibe. You can still tell they’re people, but it’s blurred just enough that it doesn’t matter who the people are. There’s something about it that draws me in.
After staring for a moment, I realize it’s the passion it portrays. The need the two embody and …it’s incredibly hot.
“Do you like it?” London questions, standing beside me.
Swallowing hard, I nod. I’m pretty sure my voice would betray me at this point.
“I do, too. It’s one of my favorites,” he admits, his voice lowering an octave.
