“Yes.”I smile as Sebastian seats me.“How is...”Fuck, what would Sebastian’s wife ask?“Your mother?”
Victor grins, and a server flicks open his napkin when he sits.Clearly, he’s amused by all this.And knows.
While I’m not complaining about the orgasm, Sebastian could have taken the time we had in the limousine and briefed me better.
“She is much better, thank you.”He sips his wine and glances across the table at Sebastian with...is that envy?
“Your mother was ill?”the sheikh asks.
“Just a cold.Nothing serious.Although she is getting old.”
Sebastian orders for us both and small talk resumes while we await our meals.I almost jump when his hand slides across my thigh under the table.
My eyes lift to his, and he winks.
I glance away like a blushing English maiden.This man has so much power over my body.I hate it.I love it.
“So, when are you getting married?”Rashid asks me, and I’m surprised to see him drinking a glass of wine.I don’t know much about the Middle Eastern culture if I’m being truthful, but I didn’t think they drank.
“I, ah...”Glancing at Sebastian, he lets out a laugh, leaning his arm around the back of my chair.
“A hot topic,” he says, calm as a cucumber.“Our families want us to marry late this summer, but Emily wants to wait a year.”
I nod, sipping my wine so I don’t have to speak.
“You’re English,” Khalid says, and I swear he’s not buying this.
Is it because I look so uncomfortable?I need to try harder.I glance up at Sebastian, smiling as if he’s the man I love with all my heart.“I am.We met in London, and I fell for him right there on the spot.”
Flames flick at the edges of his pupils, forcing me to glance back at the sheikh.
“He stole my heart and dragged me over to the United States.My mother wants us to marry in the English countryside.”
“Mine, in the Hamptons.”Sebastian rasps, his fingers brushing over my bare shoulder.
I shiver and turn my head just in time for his mouth to drop to mine.
Good lord.
A little moan escapes and it’s purely an accident.When he straightens, that fire is still there and growing in intensity.It reminds me of his promise to fuck me after tonight and my thighs clench.
Oh god.
What have I got myself into?
