She just nods her head. “Sure thing. I’ll tell Brian as soon as he gets back.”
“Oh, that is too bad,” Christina says, her eyes a bit glazed over. I see that the bottle of wine is turned upside down in the bucket in the middle of the table.
Henry comes back out followed by Brian who sees me standing by the table. His eyes look right to left. “Is everything okay?” Henry asks when he stops next to me, his hand going to my lower back.
“Yes.” I smile at him. “I’m just a bit tired.”
“Are you ready to go?” Brian asks, and when Cori nods, he raises his hand to gesture for the waitress. “Can I have my car brought around?” He smiles at her, and she just melts, making me roll my eyes.
“Why don’t we give you guys a moment to say goodbye?” Christina says, standing and going over to Brian and holding his arm. “And we will meet you at the front door.” She wraps her hand around his arm, and he turns to walk to the front door.
“I really hope we can do this again.” Henry looks at me and leans in to kiss my cheek. “Would it be okay if I got your number?”
“Yes, of course,” I say to him while we walk out. “I’ll have Cori give it to Christina.” He holds my arm as we walk out the door, and then he bends to kiss me. I turn my head at the right moment, and he gets my cheek, and the paparazzi captures it all. I turn to walk to the SUV where Brian stands with the door open. I step in, and he closes the door right after me.
“That was hands down the most uncomfortable date I’ve ever been on,” Cori says, and Brian gets in the car. He starts the car, then honks his horn, telling the paparazzi he is going to leave, and then pulls away.
“I want double pay,” Brian says from the front of the car. “Tomorrow, I’m calling Hunter, and I want to be paid double for tonight.” I look into the front and see his eyes in the rearview mirror watching me while Cori laughs.
“I usually don’t agree with him, but he honestly deserves it.” She tries to hide her laughter.
“No more fucking dates,” Brian hisses from the front, and I look at him, not sure what is going on, and then look at Cori.
“She was trying to give him a hand job at the table. I thought he was going to explode.” She covers her mouth with her hand, and he just glares at her.
“What?” I shriek. “Did you let her take your dick out?”
“Are you insane?” Brian now says, and we pull up to the hotel. He parks the car, tossing the keys to Cori, and doesn’t say anything. He almost charges into the lobby and then out the back to the golf cart. No one says anything while he takes us to the cottage. We pull up, and I walk to the door.
“See you tomorrow,” Cori says, going to her door. I open our door and step in, tossing the key on the table in the middle of the living room and tossing my purse on the sofa. I sit down, putting one foot up on the table to untie my shoe at the ankle.
“So let me get this straight,” I say while Brian walks over to the fridge and grabs a water bottle to drink. “You want me to pay you double for getting a hand job from a girl?”
“I want you to pay me double for putting up with that bullshit and not telling her to fuck off and ruining your date.”
“Don’t pretend you didn’t like the attention.” I put my other foot up on the table, repeating the action. “You could have walked away.”
“I was busy watching to make sure you were okay,” he says. I look up at him.
“Still didn’t look like you were that upset about it,” I tell him, bending to pick up my shoes and walking toward my room.
“What’s the matter, princess?” I stop and turn around at the way he says the name. “Pissed he didn’t invite you back to his house?”
“Yeah.” I shake my head. “I really wanted to fuck his brains out.”
“Not too late,” he says. “I can always sneak you into his house. God knows, it wouldn’t be my first time.” I don’t answer him, knowing it’s a low blow. If only he knew that I never actually slept with Steven. “Let me know if you change your mind.”
He walks away from me and slams his bedroom door, leaving me staring at the closed door and cursing him all the way to hell.
Chapter Ten
Brian
I slam the door behind me, then look up at the ceiling. I listen for a second, getting my head together, and then I hear her door slam. I know I should walk into my room and wait for tomorrow, but I can’t, so I turn around and storm out of my room to her door and knock. Not lightly like a normal knock but I pound on it. I don’t know what I’m expecting, but it isn’t the minx who swings open that door looking at me with anger and rage. It’s fucking hot, and her hair is now everywhere.
