Squaring my shoulders, I took a deep breath and went to claim what was mine.
Theadora’s breasts seemed to burst out of a tiny blouse. Her milky soft midriff and cleavage poked out, and her tight jeans showcased that sexy arse. She was by far the most beautiful woman there.
My bed was the only bed she would be sleeping in tonight. I would see to that.
Justin stuck to her like glue. It was obvious he wanted to fuck her.
“Hello, Mr. Lovechilde,” she said as I stood behind Justin.
How was I going to avoid knocking this guy’s teeth out? He was all smiles and touchy-feely towards her. My knuckles cracked. An overwhelming urge to tell him to “fuck off” consumed me suddenly.
“That was a great performance. You’re a natural,” I said, drawing on my Mr. Cool act. When it came to controlling emotion, the army had trained me well.
“Thanks.” Her rosy lips curled slowly, making my mouth water. All I could think of was kissing her all night long. I’d never been much for kissing, but with Theadora that’s all I could dream of at that moment.
I tried not to devour her with my gaze, but testosterone had the upper hand. I was sure I’d given the game away, going on how her college friends turned to stare.
“Can I buy you a drink?” I asked.
She shook her head. “I’m good, thanks.”
She might as well have slapped me because that rejection heated my jaw.
Feeling like half of my legs had been chopped off, I plodded back to the bar and stood next to Savanah, who was ordering a drink.
“Hey, are you fucking the maid?” she asked.
Seething frustration at my inability to navigate this squeamish game of pretence, I muttered, “Don’t you fucking dare, Savvie.”
“Oh, you are.” She poked at me. “She’s gorgeous. You could do worse.”
“Mm… tell me about it. Don’t tell Mother, whatever you do. And it’s just a fling.”
Is it?
Savanah scrutinised me. Head inclined. “I think it’s more than that,” she sang with a delighted smile. “Anyway, you better go and rescue her, because that guy’s all over her, and he’s kinda hot.”
My jaw clamped. “Thanks for the advice, sis.”
