I
glared
at
Rock
as
we
passed
close
by
each
other
on
the
dance
floor.
Nadia
Nargent's
lip
curled
in
a
smile
while
she
swayed
in
my
fiancé
’
s
arms.

“
I
think
I'm
about
done,
” I said.

When
will
this
song
ever
be
over?

I
wanted
to
escape.

“
I
thought
we
might
have
another
dance
when
this
one's
over.
”
He
bit
his
lip,
staring
into
my
eyes.

“
Maybe.
I
need
some
air
first.
”

A
jolt
went
through
me
all
of
a
sudden,
setting
my
clit
abuzz.
 
It
lasted
for
a
full
ten,
maddening
seconds.
I
sucked
in
a
sharp
breath,
grabbing
John's
shoulders
tightly.

“
Whoa.
You
okay?
”
He
held
me
steady,
and
we
stopped
swaying
for
a
moment.

I
could
only
nod,
my
knees
weak.

Damn
Rock
and
his
remote
control.
The
vibrating
panties
were
such
a
bad
idea.
He
had
some
nerve.

I
shot
daggers
at
Rock,
even
as
desire
grew
in
the
pit
of
my
stomach.
He
raised
an
eyebrow
in
my
direction,
making
my
blood
boil.

“
Maybe
you
do
need
some
air.
I'll
go
with
you.
”

“
No.
I'm
fine.
I'll
be
back.
”
I
let
go
of
John
and
made
a
beeline
out
the
door
of
the
gorgeous
hotel
ballroom.

Anywhere
but
with
him.
Not
now.

“
Lacey,
what
are
you
doing?
”
Rock
grabbed
my
arm
from
behind
just
as
I
pushed
the
elevator
button.

“
Getting
some
air.
Getting
away
from
you.
”
I
choked
the
words
out
as
he
got
into
the
elevator
behind
me.
We
were
alone.

“
I
need
you
to
play
your
part,
to
do
what
I'm
paying
you
for.
”
Rock
let
go
of
my
arm
and
pressed
me
against
the
elevator
wall.

I
enjoyed
the
contact
with
his
body,
but
the
image
of
him
and
Nadia
dancing
made
me
shake
my
head.

“
Oh,
the
part
you
were
playing
so
well?
”
I
raised
an
eyebrow
at
him,
hating
the
shaking
in
my
voice.

“
What's
that
supposed
to
mean?
”
His
breath
came
warm
against
my
face,
sending
chills
through
me.

“
The
way
you
were
dancing
with
Nadia.
”
I
tried
to
ignore
his
hands
slipping
around
my
waist.

“
Lacey,
it's
part
of
the
act.
I'm
a
billionaire
and
a
CEO.
People
expect
me
to
dance
with
gorgeous
women.
”

I
laughed.
“
Right,
like
your
fiancée
maybe?
”

He
grinned.
“
Yes,
you,
too.
”

“
It's
all
fake
anyway,
so
I
don't
know
why
I
care,
but
it's
like
this.
”
I
bit
my
lip.
“
If
I'm
going
to
act
a
part,
then
you'd
damned
sure
better
do
the
same.
I'm
already
being
made
a
fool
by
you.
”
I
wanted
to
cry.

“
Lacey,
you're
so
important
to
me.
”
Rock's
words
were
a
caress,
and
he
gathered
my
body
closer
to
his.

The
hard
outline
of
his
cock
pressed
against
my
stomach
as
he
hiked
up
my
dress.

“
What
are
you
doing?
”
I
asked,
my
mouth
dropping
open.

“
Stopping
this
elevator.
They
have
ten
others.
We
only
need
a
few
minutes.
”
Rock
winked
at
me
as
he
thrust
his
hand
inside
my
panties.

“
You
can't
be
serious.
”
I
groaned,
closing
my
eyes
as
he
found
my
clit
and
stroked
it
in
slow
circles.

“
Oh,
I'm
totally
serious.
”
He
punched
a
button,
and
the
elevator
stopped
its
ascent.

“
What
if
—”

“
What
if
nothing,
Lacey.
I
could
buy
this
whole
hotel
if
I
wanted.
I
couldn
’
t
care
less
if
some
manager
finds
us
in
the
elevator
together.
Money
means
I
don't
have
to
worry
about
that,
and
neither
do
you,
now
that
you're
my
bride-to-be.
”

I
heard
the
mocking
note
in
his
voice,
but
my
arousal
was
so
strong,
I
didn't
care.
He
slipped
two
fingers
inside
me,
even
as
his
thumb
flicked
against
my
clit.
