The water splashed over the bath's rim, making puddles on the shimmering blue-green tiles, but none mattered to them.
They were too far gone to think about anything except feel the powerful sensations, the emotions gripping them and pushing them out of control. She came first, her body gyrating frantically as the powerful orgasm slammed through her. He came after, body shuddering as he poured himself into her.
Chapter 8
He was at the front of the theater, premiere seats, of course, where he could almost touch her. He had earned the seats, and along with several of his associates and their wives who had turned out in full, they were treated like VIPs, which they were.
He had seen her glance over at him, and their eyes met and held for a few seconds. He had wanted to go backstage to see her and wish her luck, not that she needed it, but she had told him firmly that she would not appreciate that.
"You are going to break my concentration, and since you have invited all those bigwigs, I have to be my best. You will see me after I am finished."
So, he had done the next best thing by sending her two dozen yellow and white roses. He had contemplated red but had decided against it. Another time, perhaps. And her brother was also present. Callum had identified him from the photo he had in her file.
They look alike, with the same caramel complexion and graceful shape of the face. He had come solo, and Callum also recalled that the man was going through a painful divorce.
Every rational thought was wiped from his brain within minutes as he concentrated on the performance. She was good; no, that was too tame a term for her. She engaged the audience, flashing her dazzling smiles whenever the moment called for it, and drew them in when she found out that her son was taken away from her.
His hands gripped the edges of the seat as he unconsciously scooted forward. He watched the tears fall and could feel the grief encompassing her as she sobbed her heart out as if it was going to break.
When the curtains came down, he sat there spellbound. He had seen the performance before, of course, but somehow it was more potent, more significant now. Perhaps it was because he was involved with her. Getting to his feet, he followed the rest as they gave a standing ovation and thunderous applause.
A smile touched his lips when she returned for the third curtain call. Flowers were thrown on stage, and an enthusiastic fan said he loved her.
"I love you too." Blowing him a kiss, she bowed before turning to find him. His lazy and intimate smile touched her, and she smiled back at him. She was his, and he wanted the world to know.
"My God!" Jack was bursting at the seams as he hurried after her. "Did you hear that?"
"I was there, remember?" Pushing the door of her dressing room open, she was about to shut it but resigned herself to a glowing review from Jack as he made his way inside.
"And your man was riveted."
"He is not-" She breathed, dropping down on the vanity stool to drag off the wig. "I need to get dressed. "Jason and Callum will be waiting for me."
"You should have invited him backstage." They both turned at the knock on the door.
"Perhaps that's him." Before she could stop him, he was already opening the door.
"Mr. Hammond, how nice to see you." He gushed. "And Jason. I will leave you with it. Splendid performance, darling."
"I have to agree with him."
"I presume you two have met?" She asked as Jason came forward to drop a kiss on top of her head.
"Yes, we have." Callum was itching to be alone with her.
"I just came back to offer my congratulations," Jason told her, pulling her up and into his arms. "You have an amazing talent."
"Thanks, darling." She placed a hand on his cheek. "Callum is taking me to -" She looked at the man standing just behind her brother. "Where are we going?"
"Mignon's. A table is reserved for ten. My associates and his wife insisted on seeing you after the show. I could not shake them."
"It's fine. Say you will come." She urged her brother.
"I will be there." He kissed her again before stepping back and leaving the room.
"Finally." Callum moved forward to take her into his arms, lips brushing hers. "I am afraid we are going to have an entirely early evening. You were brilliant out there."
"Thank you. Want to stay while I take off my stage makeup and get ready?"
