While You Waited For Him

He casually took the glass of whiskey I had been drinking from.

He drank from the exact spot my lips had touched.

He didn't seem to think anything of it, his gaze flickering up to study me.

I smiled. "And what if I am?"

I took the glass back from his hand and slowly moved closer.

"How about you don't marry her? Marry me instead."

Lorenzo's eyes shot up, and he stared at me for a long time without speaking.

I sighed and shook my head.

"Unwilling? Fine, then."

I shrugged off the jacket, tossed it back into his arms, and grabbed my bag.

I had only taken a single step before a hand wrapped around my waist.

A sharp tug followed.

And I fell back into his embrace.

His gaze was fixed on me. "What's the matter? Brother not home tonight? Got you feeling lonely?"

"Dressed like this..."

His gaze roamed shamelessly over my body, predatory and intense.

"Here to seduce me?"

Normally, I would have backed away long ago.

But now, not only did I not retreat, I leaned in closer, snaking my arms around his neck.

"Lorenzo, the line of your neck is so sexy."

My gaze landed suggestively on his tense muscles as I let out a soft laugh.

"Can I touch it?"

Lorenzo caught my wandering hand, his brow furrowed.

"Tell me what happened."

A wry smile touched my lips.

"I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."

I pulled the agreement from my bag and showed it to him.

"Lorenzo, your brother and I are getting a divorce. The agreement says that as long as I can seduce you, our marriage will be annulled."

"Haven't you always been interested in me?"

I smiled and spread my hands.

"Here's your chance."

Lorenzo stared at me intently for a long time, then a slow smile spread across his face.

"Damian is a fool for not knowing how to appreciate you."

He wrapped his arm around my waist.

His breath was inches away.

"In that case, he won't even get the chance to regret it."
