Page 50 of Dirty Temptation

It was the same moment I did.

The same moment Payton lifted her brows and glanced between us.

Fortunately he caught himself, patted my back, and walked away.

Jesus!

I do feel like a fish out of water here. Since I’ve been away, Payton’s wardrobe has improved. I guess marrying into the fashion mogul’s family will make that happen.

I’ve never met Ward Montgomery, but I will tonight.

All the women are casually dressed, but it’s all designer.

Same with the men. Honestly, I feel like I’m walking around inside a real-life fashion magazine with these people while wearing Gap jeans and a Zara top.

Awkward.

They are all welcoming and friendly though. So it’s just me feeling out of place. Whether by marriage or birth, all of them are some of the wealthiest people in the country.

I have a six-figure inheritance I’ve gambled a couple of years of work experience and my future on.

I am not them.

Payton’s father is a judge. I can see how she has adjusted to being with Knox far more than someone like me would have.

The other women I’m only just getting to know so I don’t know their stories.

Amelia is a Dufort by birth.

Bella is Ward’s stepdaughter—Atlas’s half-sister —Payton mentioned that her mother was a Kennedy. Of the Kennedy Enterprises wealth. So again, she has blue blood, so to speak.

Me on the other hand. I grew up hearing my parents talking about how they could pay the mortgage and power bill each month.

My grandpa wasn’t rich. Mom got the house, and as the only grandchild he left me all his cash.

I’m determined to create my own financial security. If Atlas thinks I’m interested in him because he has a big bank balance (and cock)he’s wrong.

Well, not about the latter but I digress,

My business plan is a ten-year plan. I’m not getting distracted by the charming billionaire who wants to entertain himself with the bridesmaid this weekend.

The truth is, I regret not fucking you. Not just once, but twice. Hell, three times.

If we’re counting orgasms, he got his three.

The rest of the weekend is about Payton and seeing her marry the love of her life.

“What are you all looking at?” Payton asks as she places a hand on Knox’s broad back.

He turns at the same time Atlas does and our eyes lock. I bite my lip and glance away, nearly cursing as I feel my cheeks heat.

Those eyes.

His bright blue eyes are the same ones that bored down into mine as he slammed inside me. My body was screaming with pleasure I’d never felt before.

He kept asking me how it felt so good, but I have the same damn question.

I feel my core tighten with need and when I glance back, he’s still looking at me. This time intensely and his jaw taunt.
