“Hey,” I say back, knowing it wasn’t me she was talking to.
She smiles, and I can see Bity’s face distorting with anger.
“Ash, you could have went to town with Mom and Wren,” he almost scolds.
“Actually, I thought I’d stay here - take in the view.”
“I bet you did,” Rene sardonically releases, jealously oozing out.
“Um. I’ll see you guys later. I think the others should be back soon, and I need to grab a shower and change,” I murmur as I walk by Ash, discreetly grabbing her ass through the towel as I pass behind her.
She bites back a smile while clinging to her towel.
“Me, too. Catch you later, Billy?” Ash mutters so innocently.
“Yeah,” he says dully.
I walk out and wait beside the wall for her to follow me.
She emerges, and I swirl her into my arms while bringing her in for a deep kiss as her body pushes against mine.
“Your room or mine?” she murmurs against my lips, and I smile in response.
“Neither. Rene is about to start stalking me again, and I’m sure Billy is going to come to your room to bitch. Let’s meet up in a while, and I’ll take you somewhere.”
She almost pouts, which excites me to no end. She wants me bad now, almost as bad as I want her.
“Okay, so, later?” she asks awkwardly.
“Definitely later.”
She finally smiles for real, and I kiss her again while taking her hand in mine. I lead her up the stairs, hoping I have the strength to let her go while she still wants me.
Chapter Four
Biding Time
Ashiara
So later obviously meant much, much later.
I’ve been waiting all damn day on Tag to show up and end this sexual frustration, but he hasn’t made a move. The only thing he has done is be swarmed with wedding stuff. Who knew the best man had to be so involved?
The rehearsal dinner is going on right now, so I just stayed in my room. I’m not part of the wedding party, and I’m too wound up to sit down. I'd be squirming in my seat if I had to watch Tag stand beside the groom while they ran through a mock ceremony.
I’m sure he looks sexy in whatever outfit he’s wearing. Hopefully, this daring black dress will have some effect on him.
It’s a very formal event tonight, and my dress is sexy-elegant. The low dip shows off my cleavage, while the tasteful straps slide over my arms with their pricy fabric - courtesy of Billy for being his pretend date.
The long dress stops just at my feet, while the daring split rises all the way up my leg to my thigh. My hair has been dressed in elegant curls, and a black, shimmering flower ties the front right side of my hair back.
I look out the window, noticing the crowds have broken apart and the party is starting.
Finally.
I huff as I walk over to open my door, but my heart stops when I see Tag standing there, looking beyond hot as he leans against my doorframe, staring down at me with his devilishly perfect grin.
His icy blues match the shirt under his suit and tie. It should be so illegal for someone to look like this. His dark hair gleams under the low light of the hallway, and he reaches out his arm for me to take.
