The way he is looking at me is hot.
“Hold on, I have an idea,” he says, dropping to his knees again and running his tongue along my thigh, cleaning himself up off me. He then does the same on the other side and toward my center, licking and sucking me clean until I’m wriggling beneath him and climaxing again. “That feel better now?” he asks, standing back up.
“Yes,” I splutter as my cheeks burn from the heat of what he just did. Did I just unlock a new kink? Feels like I did.
He then leans forward and kisses me gently. “Don’t want to mess up your makeup,” he explains. That might be suspicious if I walk out there with my lipstick smeared across my face. “I have to go, people will be looking for me. I’ll see you after this circus, yeah?”
“Yes, back at my place.”
“Good. And I promise after tonight, we can go somewhere, just the two of us.”
I like the sound of that. He kisses me one last time before disappearing from the room.

“Hey, where have you been?” Natalia calls out to me as I descend the stairs.
I still; did she see Gio do the same thing moments before me? I thought I’d left enough time between us to not be suspicious. “I was looking for the restrooms.”
Natalia smiles as if that sounded plausible. “I wanted to show you where you’re sitting. You’re at the table next to ours with Mackenzie and her crew.” Of course, why did I expect to be on the family table? No one knows you and Gio are together. Natalia leans into me and whispers, “You and Gio are side by side though.”
That makes me happy. I let her guide me through the ballroom, stopping every so often to say hello to people and introducing me to other members of society until we get to the family table at the front of the room.
“Paige, you look spectacular,” Lilly says, giving me a hug and stepping away from her conversation with Mackenzie.
“As do you,” I say, looking her over. She’s dressed in a stunning black evening dress that is sexy and accentuates her bump.
“Yvette’s dresses are amazing, I feel beautiful in this.” She rubs her stomach, and her face scrunches up.
“Are you okay?” I ask her, worried something is wrong as I try to look around the busy ballroom for Luca.
“I’m fine. This little thing has started kicking, and it hurts,” she says, rubbing her belly. “Do you want kids, Paige? Before I start complaining about pregnancy and scare you.” She chuckles.
“She’s started to scare me, and I’ve helped deliver babies,” Mackenzie jokes.
“Yes, I’d love kids,one day.”
“Okay, well then being pregnant is the most amazing thing in the world,” she says sarcastically, making us all burst out laughing.
“You make it look good,” I compliment her, and her eyes get a little teary.
“Hormones, a little overwhelmed.” She moans, dabbing her eyes.
Poor thing. “Do you want me to help you with anything? I don’t really have anything to do with my days.”
“Besides Gio,” she quips before placing her hands over her mouth and her eyes widen. “I’m blaming that outburst on hormones.”
“Well, you’re not wrong.” I giggle, which makes her gasp before she starts laughing. “I’m serious, if you need any help with Lilly’s Place, let me know.”
“Really?” Mackenzie adds.
“Yes, not being able to see him, my days are spent not doing much. I’d like to be useful if I could be. I’ve gone from working twelve hours a day in our restaurant to nothing,” I tell them.
Lilly and Mackenzie look at each other and smile. “That would be wonderful,” Lilly says.
“You owned a restaurant?” Mackenzie asks.
