I glared at Rock as we passed close by each other on the dance floor. Nadia Nargent's lip curled in a smile while she swayed in my fiancé ’ s arms.
“ I think I'm about done, ” I said.
When will this song ever be over?
I wanted to escape.
“ I thought we might have another dance when this one's over. ” He bit his lip, staring into my eyes.
“ Maybe. I need some air first. ”
A jolt went through me all of a sudden, setting my clit abuzz. It lasted for a full ten, maddening seconds. I sucked in a sharp breath, grabbing John's shoulders tightly.
“ Whoa. You okay? ” He held me steady, and we stopped swaying for a moment.
I could only nod, my knees weak.
Damn Rock and his remote control. The vibrating panties were such a bad idea. He had some nerve.
I shot daggers at Rock, even as desire grew in the pit of my stomach. He raised an eyebrow in my direction, making my blood boil.
“ Maybe you do need some air. I'll go with you. ”
“ No. I'm fine. I'll be back. ” I let go of John and made a beeline out the door of the gorgeous hotel ballroom.
Anywhere but with him. Not now.
“ Lacey, what are you doing? ” Rock grabbed my arm from behind just as I pushed the elevator button.
“ Getting some air. Getting away from you. ” I choked the words out as he got into the elevator behind me. We were alone.
“ I need you to play your part, to do what I'm paying you for. ” Rock let go of my arm and pressed me against the elevator wall.
I enjoyed the contact with his body, but the image of him and Nadia dancing made me shake my head.
“ Oh, the part you were playing so well? ” I raised an eyebrow at him, hating the shaking in my voice.
“ What's that supposed to mean? ” His breath came warm against my face, sending chills through me.
“ The way you were dancing with Nadia. ” I tried to ignore his hands slipping around my waist.
“ Lacey, it's part of the act. I'm a billionaire and a CEO. People expect me to dance with gorgeous women. ”
I laughed. “ Right, like your fiancée maybe? ”
He grinned. “ Yes, you, too. ”
“ It's all fake anyway, so I don't know why I care, but it's like this. ” I bit my lip. “ If I'm going to act a part, then you'd damned sure better do the same. I'm already being made a fool by you. ” I wanted to cry.
“ Lacey, you're so important to me. ” Rock's words were a caress, and he gathered my body closer to his.
The hard outline of his cock pressed against my stomach as he hiked up my dress.
“ What are you doing? ” I asked, my mouth dropping open.
“ Stopping this elevator. They have ten others. We only need a few minutes. ” Rock winked at me as he thrust his hand inside my panties.
“ You can't be serious. ” I groaned, closing my eyes as he found my clit and stroked it in slow circles.
“ Oh, I'm totally serious. ” He punched a button, and the elevator stopped its ascent.
“ What if —”
“ What if nothing, Lacey. I could buy this whole hotel if I wanted. I couldn ’ t care less if some manager finds us in the elevator together. Money means I don't have to worry about that, and neither do you, now that you're my bride-to-be. ”
I heard the mocking note in his voice, but my arousal was so strong, I didn't care. He slipped two fingers inside me, even as his thumb flicked against my clit.
“ Rock. ”
“ Let me do this. Then we'll go back to the party, and I swear I'll behave like a good little boy. I won't give anybody anything to talk about — except for how wild I am about my gorgeous fiancée. ” He growled and caught my bottom lip in his even as he drove me to ecstasy with his fingers.
I trembled against him. He wrapped my hair around his free hand. He never broke the gaze
