She couldn't help smiling, he was right but how did he know? "I'm surprised to see you here. I wouldn't think this was your kind of function."
Moving even closer he used his finger to trace along the neckline of the top of her dress. "It's not, but I knew many of your co-workers would be here and I was hoping to find out who you were with and where you went. I figured one of them would know. I was pleasantly surprised to find you here."
"So you're stalking me," she said, her chest rising and falling from the contact of his fingers on her skin.
"No, I just want to make sure you're alright and not out with some loser. Seems I was right about the latter part."
She knew where this was leading, and there was no way she was going to sneak off somewhere with him to have s€x in her boss's home. "Excuse me, I have to get back to my date." Before he could stop her she hurried away and back inside.
Going to the bar she ordered a double scotch and took a long swig, then felt a hand on her back. It was Nelly and she was giving her a weird look. "What?" she asked, taking another sip of her drink.
"That man, Ryan Carter, he's the one you've been sleeping with, isn't he?"
"My God Nelly keep your mouth shut," she snapped at her friend. "I haven't got the foggiest idea what you're talking about."
Taking Ria's arm pulled her over to the side, out of people's earshot. "I saw the look on your face when you looked at him. Not to mention the way he keeps staring at you and then he followed you outside. I'm not judging you, in fact, I envy you, the man is drop-dead gorgeous."
"You can't say anything to anyone. If Mr. Milton were to find out I could lose my job."
"I won't, my lips are sealed," Nelly said, using her finger to make a zipper motion across her lips.
Richard spotted her and coming over handed her a drink. She felt uncomfortable when he put his arm around her waist, especially when she saw Ryan watching them and he didn't look pleased.
After an hour she couldn't take having his arm around her so she moved it away, saying she had to go talk to someone, instead she went outside. It was getting late and all she wanted was to go home.
He didn't have to say a word for her to know he was behind her, she could smell his scent and then his warm breath on the back of her neck. She tilted her head to the side when he moved her hair over, his lips going to her neck, lightly brushing against her skin. Her eyes closed, her core throbbed, her p**sy pulsated.
"Come home with me tonight," he said in a low, sexy growl.
"What about Richard?"
"Ditch him," he said and moved away when they heard footsteps approaching. "I'm going to bring my car around front, I'll meet you outside," he said and walked away.
She needed to calm down before going back inside so she took some deep breaths. But the heat was coursing through her body, her core throbbed and her p**ties were damp. The damn man had that effect on her, all he had to do was stand close to her and she felt the sexual desire rising and her p**ties getting damp.
Richard was busy talking to a woman when she went over and asked if she could have a word with him in private.
"Richard, I think I'm coming down with something, I'm just going to go home."
He put his hands on her arms. "I'll take you home."
She cringed at his touch. "No, no you stay and enjoy the party, I'll just take a cab home.
"Well, if you're sure. I'll call you later and see how you're doing."
"No don't do that," she said, a little too quickly. "I mean I'll be fine and I'll see you at work on Monday." When he went to kiss her she turned her head so that he got her cheek instead.
Going outside her breath hitched in her throat when she saw him leaning against the car with his hands in his pocket. His tie was off and he had unbuttoned a couple of the buttons on his shirt, looking sexy as shit. He didn't speak, just opened the car door for her to get in.
