“Um…”
She put her hand out.
I shook her hand without even thinking about what I was agreeing to.Damn, I really am terrible at negotiating.
“Get ready for the night of your life,” Bee said.
Seduction - Chapter 15
Sunday
Ian drove us girls back in Justin’s car. Another thing Justin insisted on. He wanted to drive in James’ car. And…apparently I gave him whatever he wanted all the time. James really did need to handle negotiations from here on out.
Ian dropped off Daphne and then Bee.
“See you tomorrow,” Bee said and hopped out of the car. “I can’t wait to hear all about it.”
Ian pulled away from the curb and I wondered if he had any idea what Bee was referring to. I’d be absolutely mortified if he knew I was about to experience a sex altar tonight with James. I’d be mortified if anyone other than Bee knew. Or maybe Mason. But only because they did stuff like this all the time. Anyone else…nope. Mortifying.
Ian and I were both quiet on the drive home. Which was unusual for us. Which made my stomach twist with knots.Good God, he knows!I cleared my throat. “So…what’s up, Ian?”
His eyes glanced in the rearview mirror, connecting with mine for a second before moving back to the road. “Nothing.”
Nothing? Really? He definitely knows.And then I remembered something terrible. James had said the sex altar was almost set up. Which meant…someone else had set it up. And there were only so many people who could have done that because Ian was with us. “What have Briggs and Porter been up to today?”
“Working.”
How vague.Working on what? I bit the inside of my lip. If I was lucky, James was just messing with me and hadn’t actually asked for anyone to help with it. But that didn’t mean Briggs and Porter wouldn’t know about it soon. “Have Briggs and Porter already gone home for the evening?” There were cameras all over our house. I didn’t love the idea of anyone watching our sex altar-ness.
“You know one of them stays at all times, Penny.”
Oh, right.“Maybe they should both go home tonight. Give them the night off. They’ve earned it. You too.”
He looked at me in the rearview mirror again. “You know I can’t do that.”
I did know that. James and his crazy rules. We were safe and happy. We didn’t need three security guards. But I also refused to let any of them go because they were all wonderful guys. Maybe we just needed fewer cameras. Or maybe James had set up the sex altar in the bathroom where there weren’t as many cameras. Although a sex altar over a toilet didn’t exactly sound very sexy.
“Is everything alright?” Ian asked.
“Mhm.”Nope.“Did James mention anything to you about…tonight?”
“No, what about tonight?”
Did he actually not know? Maybe I was just overacting. I mean…who the heck would James let in our house to set up something crazy like that? No one. That would be way too awkward. Which meant Ian was being quiet for another reason. “Is everything alright with you?”
“Just lost in thought.”
“About what?” I held my breath, half expecting him to say sex altars.
“Nothing.”
He was being so weird tonight. “Are you mad at me or something?”
“No, not at all. I love working for you guys.”
Okay.I was about to ask another question when he pulled up to our apartment building.
“I gotta get this car to Justin’s place. I’ll be back in a bit.”
