ball.
* * *
Nina’s heels clicked on the marble steps, ratcheting up her excitement with each clack. When she reached the entryway, she noticed the two hulking men that stood guard.
One eyed her body boldly and smiled. “Invitation?”
She grinned. This was turning out better than she thought. She handed him her invitation. He passed it off to the second man, who promptly got on a phone and called someone.
After a moment he returned to her and the other man. “Ma’am, if you’d just head into our foyer, your companion for the evening is waiting for you there.”
Wow. They were really thorough. She hadn’t been sure they could find someone for her with a two-day RSVP, but she guessed they probably had men on staff just for that.
The other super sexy guy who had been giving her some hot looks winked. “Have a great time.”
She walked toward the foyer with a smile on her face. But the smile she’d been carrying slowly turned into an O of surprise as she stepped into a large, open room. A room filled with men. She gulped and stared at the multitude of handsome guys.
“Sabrina.”
She whirled around. Her throat went dry. The way he looked at her, filled with open hunger, made her breath hitch.
“Max.” She gulped and peered down his body. He wore black dress pants and nothing else. Her eyes widened. She stared at his sexy arm muscles. Her gaze traveled down his tight pecs and stopped at his six-pack abs. “What are you doing here?” She licked her lips and glanced back up to his face.
A slow, sexy smile split his lips. “I’m your companion for the evening.”
“Excuse me?”
“Didn’t you read the rules? You get a companion for the night.” His smile turned predatory. “And that’s me.”
She stared past his shoulder, to where a new woman had arrived, dressed in some slinky dress not that different from hers. A man detached from the sea of temptation and met up with her. She smiled tentatively and gave him her hand. He dipped his head, said something into her ear, and caressed her jaw. A flush covered the woman’s face, but she nodded. Her companion placed her hand around his beefy arm, and they strolled off together, down a dimly lit hallway. Curiosity made her wonder where they were going. This was no usual ball.
Her gaze returned to Max. He was watching her, waiting. The truth was that if she could pick a man to spend Valentine’s Day with, it would have been him. So why not enjoy their time in this strange event?
“Fine. Let’s go see what this thing is about.”
He grinned and grabbed her hand. “I think you’re going to find,” he said while they headed to the hallway, “that this ball is a lot more fun than you thought.”
She was aware of his every step next to her. Heat coursed down her body, settling in her cunt. Every few seconds she’d peer up at him, while still trying to act nonchalant. But once they reached what Max referred to as the “first room,” things got really interesting.
“This is the voyeur room.” His deep rumble drifted by her neck. A shiver raced up her spine.
She walked ahead of him and stopped to stare. The room was set up with a chaise lounge in the center. Two-person sofas surrounded the room in a circle for people to watch the show.
On the chaise was a couple in the middle of oral sex. The woman lay back, writhing and moaning on the chair. The man shoved his head between her open legs and licked at her gleaming pussy while everyone watched.
Chapter Five
Nina’s attention was riveted on the couple. She watched them so intently, she almost screamed when Max put his arms around her waist. He pulled her back into his hard body. The bar of his erection pressed at her back.
“Watching kicks off the night.” He nuzzled her neck. “Do you like it?”
The hair on her arms stood on end. She gulped, her vision still stuck on the couple. His hands roamed over her stomach. Arousal spread through her limbs and heated her to
