My face warms when I realize my lacy thong is wet.
Dane leans toward me. "Are you all right?"
"No. I keep picturing myself naked on your lap, and now I'm having the hardest time sitting here."
"Christ, I'm doing the same thing. How long do we have to stay?"
"Unfortunately, a little longer. We'll break in a few minutes for dinner. Once the staff serves everyone and we've had a few minutes to eat, the music and dancing will start, and then we can leave."
"Fuck, this is painful. My dick is hard."
I can't help giggling. Dane sounds so uncomfortable, and I'm the reason why.
The speaker announces we're breaking for dinner a moment later, and I can sense Dane's relief. It's confirmed when he exhales a heavy breath, the sound camouflaged by the conversations striking up around the room.
Katherine clears her throat, gaining our attention. "Well, Mr. Evans. It appears your worry was unfounded. Brittany seems quite pleased by your surprise visit."
"I am, and Dane has perfect timing," I cut in. "He found me upstairs in the gallery and saved me from Troy's whining. Troywas…unhappy…to put it mildly, and isn't likely to bother me again."
"I knew he was a keeper," Romeo muses. "And talk about saves. It seems your river cruise article is getting published after all. How exciting is that?"
"Considering I haven't heard the full story about how it got saved and what the revision will look like, maybe now is a good time to explain it to me." I arch a brow at Dane. "Well?"
Dane leans back as one of the waitstaff sets his dinner plate on the table. He waits until we've all been served and then explains what he envisioned with the new storyline. I listen intently, amazed at his astute suggestion. Dane's colorful revamping and timing for the publication are brilliant, on top of saving my butt from a colossal failure.
Dane leans toward me when the band begins to play. "How about a dance? We can try to escape afterward."
"Sounds wonderful. The sooner, the better." I push my chair back and let Dane lead me to the dance floor. An instant thrill courses through me when our bodies touch, making me gasp.
"I missed you. And, damn, how I want you right now." Dane's voice is full of emotion. His hand briefly caresses my rear.
"This is dangerous. I'm dying to touch you."
"I know. Dancing this close might not have been the best move right now." Dane tilts his head, his expression serious. "When was the last time you went to your doctor?"
"That's an odd question. Why do you want to know?"
"Ulterior motive. I want to feel myself inside you without the latex. Besides putting any fears we might have to rest, I need to know you're okay with it and ensure you're on birth control. I had my annual checkup before the start of the cruise season, right after Eloise and I split up, and my doctor gave me a clean bill of health. I haven't been with anyone except you since then."
"Yes, I'm on birth control. And I had my annual right before I went to Europe. I checked my results when I returned. I can assure you I'm healthy." I give Dane a coy smile, feeling horribly wicked. "Mmm, I'd love to take you bareback."
Dane growls, his hard-on pushing against my stomach. "Thank God for suit jackets and dim lighting. All I can think about is how much I want to make love to you."
I close my eyes, a shiver running up my spine. My arousal is at a point that if we don't leave, it may become embarrassing.
The music stops, and Dane takes a step back. "I need to run to the men's room to take care of a little problem. I'll meet you at the table, and then we'll leave."
"Okay, but hurry up. This is killing me."
Dane chuckles. "Glad to know I'm not the only one dying here."
I return to our table to find Romeo and Katherine sitting alone while they chat and watch the band. I pull out my chair and join them.
"Where'd everyone go?" I ask Katherine.
"They're dancing. I imagine you're going to tell me you're leaving."
"We are, unless that's a problem." I hold my breath, hoping she doesn't tell me we need to stay.
