He leads me from group to group. I notice certain men looking at me with interest. Some I’ve met before, making me think they must be in the running to own me. They’re each older, and I have to wonder why they would want to take on a wife at this point in their life. We come to a stop as Kieran greets Odin Vilulf.
“Vilulf. Did you solve that problem you spoke to me about?”
Odin’s gaze narrows. “I have. Thank you for asking.”
The two step to the side, speaking in low tones. Across the room, I finally spot Ellie. Glancing at Kieran, I slip away. I hate to bother Ellie on such an important night, but she’s the only one here that knows what’s going on. My eyes are already watering as I approach her.
Ellie turns from her husband and asks, “Ari, is everything okay?”
“No. Can we talk?”
Jafar dips his head. “I’ll give you two some privacy.”
We make our way to a quiet part of the room so we can talk.
Ellie asks, “Did you tell him?”
A tear rolls down my cheek before I can stop it.
“I did.”
“And?”
“And he said I didn’t know what love was because I’m still a child. Ellie, what am I going to do?”
“You do what is best for you, even if that means leaving him.”
“You know it’s not that simple…”
“I know things feel bleak, but you always have options.”
I sigh. “I wish that was true. I should go. He’s probably already looking for me.”
“Are you coming to brunch tomorrow? I think Anna is going to join us, too.”
How I wish I could go with them, but I know I can’t. Not because Kieran won’t let me, but because I can’t face Ellie and Anna when I feel like such a fool.
“We’ll see.”
Ellie smiles. “Maybe next time.”
“Congratulations on your event.”
Holding my head high, I cross the room, going to Kieran. He’s watching me and likely saw me speaking to Ellie.
“Everything okay?”
“Yeah. My boobs are hurting. Can we leave?”
His gaze goes to my chest, and I hate that I feel a responding zing of pleasure in my pussy. It’d be a lot easier to get over him if I wasn’t attracted to him.
“We can.”
“Don’t you need to tell Jane you’re leaving?”
He doesn’t answer but takes me by the hand.
We make our way to the waiting SUV. Inside, he pulls me into his lap, untying my top. I groan as he covers my nipple, sucking.
