beside her. “Save me a space on your card then.”
Space on her card. I damn near snorted. What was this? Jane Austen Gone Wild?
“Gladly,” she agreed, batting her long eyelashes. “I’m Amber and this is Addison.”
“David,” he said; his voice smooth as silk. His soft lips twitched as he extended his large hand toward Amber. She accepted, only to be greeted by a delicate kiss to the back of her hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Yeah, this guy was smooth.
“That remains to be determined,” Amber flirted.
I groaned and rolled my eyes, wrapping my silk shawl tighter around me. We were nearly to the door and I couldn’t get inside fast enough. Not only because I was freezing—I was pretty much a popsicle—but also because I hoped we could lose Mr. Smooth Moves.
“Indeed.” David glanced around Amber and extended his hand to me. “Addison, yes?”
I reached out, to be greeted with a gentleman's kiss to the back of my own hand. The warmth of his lips burned against my cold skin. “That’s correct.”
“A beautiful name for a beautiful lady,” he murmured.
Typically, I wasn’t a shy sort of woman, but for some reason this man made me feel that way. He stared at Amber and me as if he already knew what we looked like naked. “Thank you,” I breathed.
“Is this your first time?”
“Yeah.”
He rubbed his thumb along the top of my hand, then released it just as we reached the front door.
“There’s always something magical about virgins,” David declared, extending his hand out in front of us, allowing us to enter first. “An innocence, if you will.”
I stopped dead in my tracks, staring at the doors then back to David. “No, wait! I’m not a virgin. I’ve had sex. Lots and lots of sex.”
Amber snickered. David smirked, his eyes dancing with amusement. “I was talking about an Indulgence virgin, but it’s good to know you’re so experienced. That will make this evening all the more enjoyable.”
My mouth dropped. I stepped right into that one. This night was going to be the death of me.
Amber and David laughed and started toward the door, neither realizing that I was still frozen in place. This was it. The moment of truth. Could I indeed go through with tonight, or would I forever remain an Indulgence virgin? Once inside, all bets were off. No clothes to cover me. Only a mask to protect me. People vying to have sex with me.
My head was spinning. My anxiety level skyrocketed. What was I thinking? I had to get away. It was stupid to think I could do something so open and so out of character for me. I was the good girl. I didn’t sleep around. Hell, I usually made a guy wait until the third date before even letting him get to the second base. This was ridiculous. Me, at a sex party.
“Amber,” I hissed. “I can’t do this.” I took a step backward, ready to run. “I’ll pick you up in the morning.”
I hated myself for being this way. I felt like such a candy ass. My curiosity was piqued, but my morality had the better of me. Damn me and my wholesome upbringing.
Amber grabbed my shoulders, shaking them as she spoke. “Addison, listen to me. You can do this. You’re a smart, strong woman who has control of her body and her desires. You’re not required to do anything you don’t want to do.”
“Yes, I know, but…”
“No buts . I’ll make a deal with you, if after two hours you still feel this was a bad idea, we’ll leave. No questions asked. Okay?”
“No,” I persisted. “You’ve been looking forward to this for months. I’m not going to make you miss it because of me. I’ll just leave now so you can enjoy your night.” David crossed his arms over his chest, appearing amused by my child-like abandonment. I tried to ignore his gaze and focus on Amber. She was the only person I cared about.
