“Stop it.” She frowns at me. “I’m trying so hard here, but my tongue gets all tied up. I’m gonna embarrass you tonight.”
Stepping toward her, I grab her by the waist and pull her to me. The vocal coach moves aside and pretends to talk with Cecilia.
“You could never embarrass me. You’re forgetting I don’t even want to go to this event tonight. I would much rather stay home and lick you out.”
“Eaton.” Shelby’s eyes go wide at my crudeness.
Cecilia chuckles. “Lucky lady.” She winks at me and returns to perusing the dresses with the voices coach.
“You can’t say that in front of people.” Shelby continues to protest.
“I can say what I want. I thought we’d established that.”
“Why do I have a feeling it will be you embarrassing me tonight.” Shelby rolls her eyes.
I give her a big cheesy grin. “I mean it, Shelby. I don’t want to take you to this function tonight. I don’t want to introduce you to the darker world of Vegas life. It will be dangerous. You are not to leave my side, not even for an instant. If we do get split up for any reason, Max and Lena will be right behind you.”
“And what if I choose to run away?”
I’m still holding Shelby at the waist. Her eyes twinkle with mischief as she speaks.
“I will find you. I will always find you,” I promise, and I mean it. “Mine.” I tap the tip of her nose.
She nods, but I can tell there’s still doubt behind her eyes. I don’t have time to address it as Max enters the room.
“We need to leave in ten minutes.” He looks at Shelby, who still isn’t dressed. “We’re on a strict time schedule.”
I know. I wave him away. “Make sure Lena is ready.”
“Will do.” Max nods and then leaves.
“Well, I think I know what dress Shelby should wear,” Cecilia announces as she steps forward holding a bright red dress. It’s silk, long in length, and has thin straps at the shoulder. It will be a perfect, tight fit for Shelby’s body, and it matches the red tie I’m wearing with my formal suit.
“Put it on,” I tell her.
I give Shelby privacy while she dresses by turning away from her. A few minutes later, she tells me to turn back. As I do, my breath is taken away. She looks stunning. Better than I had ever dreamed. My cock hardens instantly in my pants. It’s going to be a long night.
“What do you think?” Cecilia questions. “Is it the right vibe for what you’re hoping to demonstrate tonight.?”
“Definitely!” I lick my lips. “You’ve exceeded yourself this time.”
“Well, the package I had to work with didn’t need much help.” Cecilia chuckles. “I’m just going to get a drink, and then we’ll come back and tidy up.”
Everyone leaves the room, except for Shelby and me.
“I’ve never worn anything so beautiful.” She stares at herself in the mirror. “It’s quite a change from my waitressing uniform.”
“That’s one outfit you’ll never have to wear again,” I tell her.
She looks over her shoulder at me. Her eyes are heavily decorated with makeup that brings out the brown in them. “I’m just a doll to show off tonight, aren’t I? That’s why I’ve been made to look so pretty?”
“My father is all about status. He wants to be the most powerful man in Vegas. In many ways he is already, but your father damaged that reputation. No one knew where you and your mother went after your father died. We’ve managed to keep that a secret. Tonight is all about showing our rivals that you’ve been under our control all along. It’s not going to be easy for you. It’s going to cause a big commotion when you walk into the room, and everyone’s eyes will be on you all night. This is the biggest thing to happen in Vegas for a long while, and I’m sure you know how massive things can be in this city.”
Shelby nods and turns around to face me.
“What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. We’re going to rock the city’s foundations tonight. We better go. Max will shout at you if not.”
I can tell she’s trying to hide her nerves. It can’t be easy.
