What? He knew I was only joking. Right? I would never.
I sat down on one of the chairs and Faise took the seat next to me. He slid his arm around the back of my chair, the gesture proprietary as hell. When I looked at his eyes, the fire in them sparked a deep arousal in my balls. Oh, I was in trouble. I leaned over and kissed his temple, then placed my hand on his neck, staring right back at him.
“Jesus, is it hot in here or is it me?” Payton asked.
“It’s Florida, of course it’s hot,” Lennie added.
Payton’s chuckle broke me out of my trance.
“I didn’t mean quite so literally, darling.” I turned to find Payton patting Lennie’s arm. “You’re too cute for words.”
Lennie’s face turned bright red as he stepped back, knocking over Payton’s hairdryer and several bottles of styling products from the table.
“Shit!”
“It’s all right,” Payton reassured him. “I’ve got it.”
Lennie shook his head and bent down to pick the items up off the floor.
“Let me, it’s my fault. Sorry about that,” Lennie muttered.
The bodyguard placed the bottles back on the table, then nodded to the door. “Anyways. Yeah. I just…um…I’m gonna just wait at the door. I mean, outside the door. In the hallway.”
Payton’s eyes latched on to Lennie’s ass as he strode past us. Lennie quickly shut the door behind him, and Payton let out a sigh and fanned his face.
“God, that man is so damn gorgeous. Too bad my flirting has gone nowhere.”
“I think he likes you,” I offered. “Never seen him so nervous before.”
“Really?”
“Are you kidding?” Faise added. “Lennie’s always unflappable. Except with you.”
“Do you know if he’s dating anyone?” Payton asked.
Faisel shook his head. “No idea. He keeps his private life very private. Never heard him talk about dating or even hooking up with anyone.”
“Hmm, a man who doesn’t kiss and tell. Interesting,” Payton mused with a glint in his eye. Then he smiled at us. “And how are you boys doing tonight?”
I let out a filthy grin that required no explanation.
CHAPTER 31
FAISE
SHOWTIME
After our hair and makeup was done, which seemed to take forever, I hustled Ronin out of the dressing room and into the private bathroom at the end of the hall.
I knew that Ronin was just teasing Payton, but still. I didn't like the flirting. A possessive instinct I didn't know I was capable of was suddenly all I was capable of feeling.
“Why’re we coming in here—” Ronin started.
“The question isn’t why, but when,” I replied.
I reached up, taking his lips in a fierce kiss, showing him exactly what I meant. There would be coming all right. I was going to suck Ronin's cock down my throat until he came long and hard.
He backed me up against the door, and it was on.
