Page 106 of Margot
Her words made my head swim.
You’re a star…
It’s the same thing DuBois used to say to me. I had to block Margot’s ranting in the back of my mind. I understood it but I couldn’t lose focus on what Mary was saying. It meant the world to me.
“Oh my god, I would love to play a solo concert.”
“Wonderful! I still have your paperwork on file. I’ll talk to the vice president and I’ll get back to you immediately.” The lights began to flash in a steady on-off pattern and Mary wished me luck before slipping back to the audience seating.
“Oh my god, Margot…did you hear that?” I whispered as I took my seat behind the piano.
“Fuck. Yes. You’re so amazing, Sutton. You’re doing great.” I could feel a smile budding in the back of my mind. It materialized on my lips and I raised my fingers to my mouth.
We were sharing a smile.
Between the smile and the offer to play a solo concert in New York City, I floated through the rest of the concert.
When we ended, the entire audience stood and applauded. My eyes locked onto Lennox’s. They were shining copper orbs in a sea of nonsense.
Right before the curtain closed, I blew a kiss his way and the smile he gave me in return made my thighs clench and my stomach twist. I couldn’t wait to see him when I got backstage. I waded through handshakes, hugs, and pictures and bided my time until Lennox appeared.
This time he wasn’t holding roses but he didn’t have to be. All I needed was him. He was special as any bouquet.
I launched into his arms and he laughed in that silky deep voice while he lifted me off the ground. “You did an excellent job, baby.” He spoke with his lips against my ear and the hair on the back of my neck stood like a thousand tiny antennas wanting to lock onto his signal.
“I thought you had an important showing tonight and wouldn’t be able to make it. How are you here?” We moved away from the thickening crowd and toward the back where the now empty rehearsal hall was.
“I made time,” he said, touching my hair.
“Lennox, Mary Richardson from the New York Philharmonic was here tonight. Did you know that? Oh my god, I’m buzzing right now. I’m about to go home and drink the rest of Margot’s Hennessy.”
“I swear you two are turning into each other,” he laughed. “And yes, I knew Mary Richardson was here.” I blinked a few times at him in disbelief.
“You knew? How?”
“Just so happened that I showed a house to Sabrina Richardson, Mary’s daughter. She came down from New York to see the property too. We got to talking and when she found out you were my amazing wife and that you had a show, we wrapped the showing, I closed the deal and she made a point to invite you to New York. Surprise.”
That was better than any fucking bouquet of roses.
He didn’t get another word out before I was standing on my tiptoes, kissing him and climbing him like a damn tree.
“Sutton,” he laughed, putting his hands under my ass to hold me. “Baby, we’re in public. At your job.”
I scanned the empty rehearsal hall then looked at Lennox with a devilish smirk. “We’re also alone,” I pointed out.
“We are.” He turned me around so that I was sitting on top of the piano and he was standing between my legs.
Normally, being near the piano while Lennox was so close to me would have made me freak the hell out but not right then. Right then, all I could do was focus on how happy I was.
“So what does being alone mean?” Lennox asked while his palms slid up my thighs.
“It means you can fuck me on top of this piano,” I purred. My hands moved down to his belt and I bit my bottom lip when I heard the clink of his buckle coming undone.
“Sutton, Sutton, Sutton. You’re going to fucking kill me. But I’ll die a happy man.” We crashed into a torrid kiss and my tongue slid against his while his hands yanked my panties to the side. “Now, tell me what I want to hear. Tell me what I’ve always wanted to hear from you. Not Margot…you.” I knew exactly what Lennox wanted and I gave it to him. We locked eyes and I snared him in my intense gaze.
“Fuck me, Lennox.” His cock seemed to stiffen even more. It pressed against my pussy sending waves of pleasure crashing into me. I slid my ass to the edge of the piano and Lennox grabbed my hips then thrust into my wet pussy.
I couldn’t let out the needy moan I wanted to because I didn’t know who was around. We were fucking in the rehearsal hall with unlocked doors on all sides. I curled my fingers around the back of Lennox’s neck and pulled him down to my mouth. I needed something to stop the noises begging to come out.
