“Is he yours?”

I snapped my head back to see she was practically panting while looking at Layton. I turned back just in time to see him looking at me. I smiled, and he winked.

“Yes, he is,” I said as I gave him a little wave.

“Lucky girl. He’s drop-dead gorgeous. What investment firm does he work for?”

I let out a chuckle. “He sits on the board for Smithson Advisory here in Austin, but his real job is far less glamorous. He’s a cattle rancher in Llano, Texas, and he also dabbles in racehorses. ”

“He’s on the board for Smithson? How old is he?”

I felt a sense of pride just bubbling up inside me. “Twenty-five, almost twenty-six. ”

“Holy shit. ” She looked back over at Layton.

Layton shook the hand of the older gentleman before he started to make his way over to me. Right as he reached for my hand, an announcement was made, saying that dinner was ready and asking for everyone to be seated.

I quickly introduced Melinda to Layton. “Layton, this is Melinda Ross. Melinda, Layton Morris. ”

I watched as the red moved across her cheeks when Layton took her hand.

“It’s a pleasure, ma’am. ”

“For the love of God, I’m only twenty-three. Please don’t call me ma’am,” she said with a fake laugh.

“Yes, ma’am,” Layton said.

The moment he placed his hand on the small of my back, guiding me over to the table, my heart started pounding, and I swore I was suddenly aroused. I was so fucking horny that I couldn’t even think straight. All evening, I kept thinking about Layton asking me to bring the vibrator. I was even beginning to have fantasies of him using it on me.

Shit! Shit! Shit! Whitley, get a damn grip, girl. This is insane.

Layton

pulled out my chair for me, but before I could sit down, he brought me in closer to him.

He whispered in my ear, “You look so beautiful. Every man in this room can’t take his eyes off of you. ”

I was ready to apologize for what I was wearing, but then he brought his lips closer this time. The feel of his hot breath on my bare neck was driving me insane.

“I just want to make love to you right this very second. I think we need to skip out after dinner and make our way to The Intercontinental. ”

I let out a giggle. “The Intercontinental? What’s that?”

“The Intercontinental Stephen F. Austin hotel. It’s only one of the most luxurious hotels in Austin. ”

“Layton, I don’t ever have to stay anywhere fancy. As long as I’m with you, we could sleep in the truck for all I care. ”

He let out a laugh and kissed me quickly on the lips before taking my hand as I sat down in the chair. As he pushed my chair in and then sat down next to me, I noticed Melinda sitting a few seats down from us.

“Whitley, I want to introduce you to my fiancé,” she said with a smile.

As I looked over at the young man taking a seat, his eyes met mine.

I let out a gasp as Nick smiled.

“Oh my God. Whitley! What an unbelievably nice surprise to see you here. ”

My head instantly started spinning. Clearly confused, Melinda looked back and forth between Nick and me.
