Page 110 of Reckless Kisses
Finally, she turned around and marched right to the bar.I felt victorious and relieved when Knox returned a few minutes later, handing me an orange drink.
“What’s that?”I asked him.
“Tequila sunrise.”
“Oh, all right.Why not?”We clinked glasses.“What are you drinking?”
“The same.I decided that we’re not driving home.We’ll Uber, and I’ll get the car in the morning.”
I grinned.“Someone’s in a party mood, huh?”
“Yes, I am.”He sat down next to me.“And I want us to have fun.”
After a few sips, I asked, “So, you’re done making the rounds?”
“Not even close.I’ve got about half a dozen people to greet and introduce my girlfriend to.”
My stomach somersaulted yet again.Girlfriend.
“Then we’ll spend the rest of the evening at my place,” he added.
I laughed.“You just decided that, huh?”
“Fuck yeah.In fact, I’m going to keep you there all evening.”
“Knox,” I admonished, “you could have given me a heads-up so I could have brought some clothes to change into.”
He tilted his head to one side and then moved his chair closer to mine.He whispered in my ear, “You can just walk around naked.I have absolutely no problem with that.”
I grinned at him.“That’s a genius idea.”
“Yep.”
“Perfect plan.I’ll walk naked around your sexy house for the whole weekend.”
His eyes flashed, and he cleared his throat.“On second thought, we don’t need to waste any more time here tonight.”
“Oh no.You said you want to brag to people about me, and I’ve got this amazing dress on.I want to actually get a chance to wear it before you strip me naked for two whole days.”
From the way he looked at me, I was certain Knox was going to whisk me away no matter what, but to my astonishment, he didn’t.We spent another three hours at the event.I was surprised that we didn’t run into Cynthia at all.
Had she left already, or was she actively avoiding us?Honestly, I didn’t care.I had this amazing man on my arm, a killer dress, and fabulous cocktails.Life was excellent.
What more could I want?
