Chapter 87
The drive to the Hamilton Hotel had felt like we were doing double the distance.
The air in the confined space of Dante's sports car had been thick, tensed, and
unexplainably charged and had grown so with each passing moment.
The both of us had tried to keep conversation light and flowing and I chose to
stay to my own space afraid that if I had indulged a little too much than I would
be beyond saving. The last thing I wanted was to enter the Fundraiser with weak
knees.
I should have taken my own da mn car maybe 1 then I could have been saved
from being subject to the torment of his maddening, sensual allure or, at the very
least, resuced from it.
It did not help that his rich, musky cologne hadi nfiltrated the charged air, causing
my insides to clench but I had to pretend otherwise. I had displayed my desire far
too freely as opposed toh im and if he thought that he was the only one who
could torment the other then he had another thing coming his way.
I wasn't about to give in to Dante. Not in the least. He would have to grovel
before I so much of even let my control slip but that didn’t mean I couldn't have
some fun of my own.
When I spotted the familiar hotel standing tall in the sky where the Croxley
fundraiser was to be held this evening, I could no longer contain the surge of
relief that coursed through me and I let out a breath. I just needed to get out of
the car and in to the open air surrounded by more people then perhaps it would
be easier to breath and think straight.
Dante had brought the car to a slow pace from its steady speed before it had
come to a complete halt on the red carpet that had been rolled out in front of the
papar az zi filled entrance. Dante let the engine run when both of our doors had
been held open for us within seconds of the car stopping. He tossed the key at
the valet who had caught it effortlessly and displayed his great excited to get
behind the wheel of such a beast of a car even if it had just been from the
entrance to the parking which couldn't be too far away from here.
With the car out of the way, Dante had waited for me to move to his side and
confirm to the pap araz zi, and by tomorrow all of New York, that I had arrived
with him. The paps had lost their minds and the flashes of multiple cameras went
off
immediately from the troops of reporters and tabloids that had filled their
designated spots of to the side of the carpet.

It definitely made one feel like a well enough after celebrity or A- Lister and it was
an all new experience for me. The reporters yelled at once for our attention all
wanted us to focus on them to get the perfect picture.
Dante looked at me with mischief in his eyes right before his strong arm slipped
around my waist pulling me closer to his side. I forced a smile not wanting to lose
my cool in front of the camera's that had been snapping away at us madly.
HB,
As if to provoke me and stir up gossip for the rest of month, Dante leaned in
closer until his lips were inches away from my ear.
“How is that the mere smell of you had the front of pants feeling like I chose the
wrong size.” He whispered loudly enough for me to hear but soft enough that it
drowned in the buzzing of the reporters.
Before I knew it, his lips were immediately gone leaving my blood racing and
myself shocked at how unexpected his words had been. I didn’t think he'd say
such a thing to me let alone right now while we were under such close
observation.
He tightened his grip around my waist causing my shoulders to square up
instinctively. What the hell was he trying to do? Start a scandal? Dante set a
neutral smile over his lips and posed for the camera like I didn’t know what he
was up to while I maintained my composure.
“Behave. I don't want to be subjected to the wild headlines that will surely
resurface come tomorrow morning.” I smiled for the camera's but muttered tightly
to him.
Dante shifted to look down at me. “I haven't caused a stir in quite a while. I might
as well take this opportunity especially with you.” He winked at me and there had
been more flashes because, to them, we were this new spectable attending such
a prestigious event together.
“You mean take the opportunity and chance to mess with my thoughts.” I
rephrased for him as he ushered me away from the reporters and in the direction
of the hotels entrance which had been overwhelmingly busy with outrageously
dressed women and designer suit clad men all ready and eager to splurge in the
name of charity and show of their generosity to their subordinates.
“My word, Sophia” My name rolled of his tongue smoothly despite his feigned
offension. “You wound me by your assumption.” Dante said dramatically as he
looked away from me to nod in acknowledgement at the men that looked in his
direction.
Dante and I had followed the line of people all making their way to the banquet
hall of the magnificent hotel. There had been a general buzz in the air that was

impossible to miss. It was like attending a high end regency ball only less
modest.
Do you have a clue of their cause for this year? One of the woman had voiced
the question that had been sitting on every ones lips this evening
Dante and I shared an amused look knowing that we had discussed it on our way
here. “We should take bets on what it's going to be.” I suggested and saw him
look pleased with the idea
