People say the youngest child has it easy, but nothing can be further from the truth. Unlike my two sisters, Violet and Lily, Iβm never in the limelight. I just work my butt off for Fleur Cosmetics and get little to no thanks for it. Iβve been pushed too far one too many times, and Iβm finally brave enough to do something about it.
Maybe my newfound courage has something to do with the amazing pink and white diamond necklace I wear to the party in Cannes. The instant those dazzling heirloom jewels touch my skin, they excite some deep, aching need inside. And when that guyβthat totally gorgeous guyβlocks eyes with me, I know this nice girl is going to be naughty.
For once itβs my turn. My turn to say no to my father, to outshine my sisters, to walk away from it allβstraight into the arms of a mysterious stranger. But what if Caden is much more than I bargained for? Sure, he makes me feel sexy and free in a way I never have before, but thereβs something else I canβt quite placeβsomething dangerous. Maybe our βchanceβ meeting wasnβt so random. Maybe he was looking for me for a reason. Whatever his motive, thereβs no going back now.
And maybe I donβt want to.
I sit on the edge of the mattress, not about to give up. I need to get closer to her and eventually get closer to that damn neck- lace she wore. Dexter wants it. Heβs been hounding my ass for it. And Iβll get it.
Eventually.
Iβd rather focus on her first. Earn her trust. So Iβm not casing out her hotel room. Iβm not looking for any stray jewelry lying around.
Hell, Iβm in too deep now.
Iβm here with Rose because I want to be, not because I want to steal something from her.
Yet. Donβt forget the βyetβ part at the end of that last thought.
Yeah. Who wants to focus on trying to steal a necklace when I could be sliding back into bed with her? I want to feel the hot, tight clasp of her pussy milking my cock again. I want to feel her touch me, feel her lips on my skin, hear her moan when I hit a spot that feels particularly good. I want to learn all of those spots, memorize them for later. Because there will be a later for Rose and me. I plan on that. And sheβd better plan on it too, no matter how much in denial she is.
βRose.β She turns to look at me, her expression wary. Guarded. I know the feeling. More than anything, I know that look. Iβve been wearing the same guarded expression pretty much all my life. I trust no one. Theyβre all out to screw me over; it doesnβt matter who they are. Iβve become so good at playing the part, of being whoever I need to be at any given moment, I have no idea who the real me is anymore.
Being with Rose is the closest Iβve felt to myself since I donβt know when. I want to explore this. Explore what we share, what she makes me feel, what we are when weβre together.
Sheβs ready to kick me out and Iβm ready to cling. Talk about a total role reversal. I need to get my head back on straight and focus.
βCaden.β She matches my tone, watching me expectantly. When I donβt say anything she rolls her eyes. βDo you realize I donβt even know your last name? What does that say about me, that Iβd let you into my room andβfool around with you for hours and I donβt know your last name? Itβs appalling behavior.β
βAppalling behavior? You sound like a crabby old school- teacher.β I want to laugh but I donβt. Sheβs dead serious. I think sheβs just shocked herself with what weβve done.
Iβve shocked myself too, but in a good way. While she acts like weβve committed the ultimate sin.
βYou wouldnβt understand.β She averts her head as if it pains her to look at me and I move closer to her, reaching out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
βItβs Kingsley,β I murmur, wishing I could kiss her. Comfort her. But thatβs not happening, not yet. Iβve got to take it slow.
She turns, a little gasp escaping her when she discovers how close I am. βWhat?β
βMy last name. Itβs Kingsley.β
βAre you serious? Of course it is.β She tosses her hands up in the air, making her breasts jiggle, and I jerk my gaze away from her chest.
