Best. Night. Ever. And it wasn’t over yet.Twenty-TwoGageAs we pulled up at the Vanity Fair party, I seriously considered telling the driver to head straight to my house instead of stopping. Kissing Morgan in the back of the limo during the short ride over wasn’t nearly enough after missing her for a week. But she’d earned her first Oscar tonight, and this party was a rite of passage she’d regret missing later on—even if I gave her plenty of orgasms to make up for it. Which I still would, just later than I wanted.
Sliding closer to the door, I laced my fingers through Morgan’s, and asked, “Are you ready for this?”
“Heck, yeah!” She flashed me a big grin and squeezed my hand. “I’m looking forward to walking the red carpet with you by my side and an Oscar in my hand.”
“Then let’s get you out there, beautiful.”
After the door opened, I climbed out and turned to help Morgan from the car. She practically glowed with excitement as the cameras recorded every step we took.
“Gage! Morgan! Can we get a kiss for the cameras?”
“Morgan! How did you manage to snag Hollywood’s hottest bachelor?”
“Gage! How long has this been going on? Are you the mystery man from Morgan’s trip to Georgia?”
“Morgan! Did you skip the dress change because you wanted more time with Gage?”
Morgan glanced over her shoulder and called out, “Who needs a different dress when you’ve got your boyfriend—who used to be Hollywood’s hottest bachelor until you snagged him—on your arm?!”
The crowd went wild, and I knew clips of Morgan’s answer were already being uploaded to social media and news outlets as we walked away. “That was fucking perfect,” I murmured.
“You’re not mad?” she asked softly, her gaze darting up to scan my face for any sign that I was pissed about what she’d just done.
“Not at all, beautiful,” I reassured her. “A little bit of humor won’t hurt while everyone’s already busy talking about our relationship.”
“Phew! For a minute there, I was worried that the first thing I did as your girlfriend was mess things up.”
I trailed my fingers up her back, stroking the bare skin that her dress left exposed and making her shiver. “Feel free to stake your claim because I’ll be doing the same with you.”
“Yeah, I think you already did that with the hickey that was spotted from miles away.” Her plump lips curved up in a tiny grin, and her blue eyes sparkled with humor.
I dipped my head low and skimmed my lips over the shell of her ear. “I didn’t hear you complaining about it when my mouth was on your neck and my cock was pounding deep into your pussy.”
“Alrighty then,” Allie laughed, wrapping her hand around Morgan’s wrist and tugging her away from me. “No way am I going to ask what you just said to my bestie that has her blushing like a virgin at prom, but I am going to steal her away so we can grab an In-N-Out burger.”
“I could eat a burger,” Vaughn chimed in from only a couple of steps away from Allie. His bow tie looked a little askew, and I was pretty sure that Allie’s hair didn’t look the same as it had when we’d headed out for the Vanity Fair party. Not that I could judge, since Morgan and I had done more than our fair share of kissing on the way over.
“C’mon! I totally need to snap a pic of you munching on a burger while you’re holding your Oscar,” Allie urged as she dragged Morgan deeper into the party. When we reached the area where the burgers were being served, her attention shifted to me. “Aha! And I guarantee it’ll go viral if you’re in the picture, too.”
I went along with the plan, even going so far as to playfully take a bite out of Morgan’s burger at one point, which made her burst into delighted laughter. After swallowing, I turned to Allie. “I’m going to need a copy of that one.”
She nodded in agreement. “Yeah, you really are.”
“This really is the best night ever,” Morgan sighed as she finished off the last of the burger and drained her glass of champagne.
“It’s about to get better,” I promised, tugging her toward the back room where they had the dance floor set up.
Having her body close as we danced was a definite improvement although I’d much prefer to be moving together naked in my bed. But she was having too much fun for me to suggest we cut out early, and it wasn’t like it was a hardship since I got to hold my woman close.
We were only one song into dancing when the music shifted to something fast and the couple to our right almost bumped into Morgan. I quickly swung her out of their way right as a long arm stretched out to help block us. Glancing up, I spotted Kael Stewart. The former Navy SEAL was newer to the Hollywood scene, pulled into it when he fell in love with Chloe Porter while protecting her from a crazed stalker.
