“They’re huge and not sexy at all, and you touching them like that is making me all kinds of bothered so could you kindly back the fuck off?”
He smirked. “The mouth on you.”
I rolled my eyes, waiting for him to carry on but he shocked me by saying, “I think thick thighs make great earmuffs. You want me to show you?” he tried sneaking his hand further inside my thigh but the car stopped and I stared him in the eyes.
He then positioned the tight fabric around his crotch before the door opened and a dark mask entered the limo and I pushed myself further into my seat.
"You're okay," Kit said quietly.
“Oh, hey Kit,” we both heard the guy behind the mask say before he checked inside the limo.
They were checking every car just like the last time me and Kit had been here together.
“You okay there?” I asked him knowingly once the door had shut and we were alone again.
Once he’d finished positioning himself so that the fabric wasn’t too tight around his erection Kit looked at me and shook his head.
“This is why I need to be driving. I need a distraction, especially when you’re dressed like that.”
“Serves you right for teasing me, you little shit.”
“You tease me every second of every day, Blondie, walking around in those skinny jeans.”
Smiling, I tried to hide my blush but Kit made me look at him and kissed me.
“I love you,” he said.
“I love you more. Especially in that suit.”
The second Igot out of the limo, I wanted to jump back in. I got out directly onto a red carpet leading inside the historical building attached to Delta and there were people everywhere waiting to go inside. Everyone was dressed like royalty and I gulped, feeling so nervous being here. I held my hands together as people spotted me, looking me up and down. Then Kit pulled one of my hands into his and I looked at him, feeling instantly calmer.
“Isn’t this the safe house?” I asked.
“Yeah. There’s a huge ballroom at the back of the building. We haven’t used it in a while but with your dad…” Kit stopped, looking at me.
“It’s okay,” I frowned and urged him to continue.
“With your dad’s passing the committee wanted to hold it at home in his honour.”
I smiled, feeling thankful that here people truly did love my dad.
Part of me felt guilty that I’d deliberately taken a step back, not allowing myself to be involved in any of this planning. Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy. The role I’d need to take on was too much. Even without being pregnant I knew I’d struggle. That's why I’d left that position in trusted hands. With Kit.
He took my hand and lead me forward down the red carpet and I loved how the small trail on my dress followed behind me. Having Kit’s hand pressed against the bare skin on my back sent an electric bolt across my body, prickling at all of my senses as he led me through the house and crowds of people to the back of the building. As we walked, I felt overly conscious. It was obvious that everyone was looking at me, and it wasn’t just my paranoia. People were stopping to see me and I knew why. They were either truly intrigued or judging me just by the sight of me.
Their eyes would first land on me and then they’d follow my linked hand to Kit’s and they’d judge us together. I knew it.
“They’re only looking because they can’t believe how stunning his daughter is,” Kit said against my ear.
I bit my lip nervously and stared at him, loving him for trying to make me feel so much at ease.
“They’ve never seen you before,” he added, leading me through a set of opened double doors into the ballroom where classical music was playing.
“Holy shit,” I said beneath my breath.
It was breathtaking. The room was laid with large round tables and gold drapes were hanging all over the walls. It went amazingly with the dark red theme colour that covered all of the tables occupied with gold chairs. It reminded me of an Edwardian ballroom as I stared at the ceiling where historical paintings and art deco designs had been created. Kit had to hold me tight and lead me around others so that I didn't fall whilst staring. I apologised and eventually looked away to where he was leading me. The hall had been lit by dim lights, the chandeliers creating the warm atmosphere above our heads. I stood in awe, staring at their enormity. The hall was honestly breathtaking. I never would have guessed such a space existed at the back of the safehouse.
After everyone had arrived,we were asked to take our seats and with our drinks in hand, Kit lead me to our table and pulled my chair out for me. I saw both Bob and Phil over by the bar, looking dapper as hell. I smiled and waved at them both whilst Kit raised his glass at them.
