Fuck off!He’d had this argument with the voice in his head numerous times, and it still didn’t matter.Xia Foster washiswife whisperer.She had no fucking business having such a mind-bending orgasm with another Dom.
“Rex?”Camden’s voice yanked him back to the present.
“Watching my personal blind spots...yeah, noted.”
“Good man.Now, about that standing reservation at Le Petit Jardin...”
Chapter Fifteen
Xia
Later that evening...Drago Restaurant, Metairie, New Orleans...
“I’m calling it, Xia.It’s time.”
Xia stared out over Lake Pontchartrain.The taste of the last buttery garlic prawns still tingled on her tongue.The sun was setting, painting the water in shades of amber and rose that matched the whiskey in her tumbler.She’d demolished the entire plate of New Orleans’ finest, but for once, the satisfaction of an excellent meal couldn’t lift her spirits.
It didn’t take a genius to know what Cheri was talking about.Still, she attempted to prolong the topic she had known would be discussed when her friend invited her to dinner at their favorite seafood restaurant.
“Time for what?”
Cheri rolled her eyes with the dramatic flair only a thirty-six-year-old best friend could master.The one-year difference in age had never affected their friendship.In fact, it only strengthened it.“The big fat white elephant in the room...what the fuck else, Xia!?”
“Cheri...I told you, it didn’t mean anything, and—”
“And I call bullshit on that.I was there, my friend, along with a hundred other people.They all saw what I saw...a highly possessive and let me stress the following,jealousDom.Rex Oliver laid a claim on you by bathing you in his jizz, and believe me, Xia, it was anything but the temporary kind.”
“You’re exaggerating, Cheri.He just wants to make sure I adhere to the terms of my new appointment.”
“That’s fucking horseshit, and you know it.The fact that he left you until his cum had completely dried ensured that every member at the resort knew you belonged to him.Period.”
The sigh that drifted from Xia’s chest sounded forlorn in the din of the fellow diners.“Okay, okay, but the facts remain the same.Even after giving me a tender bubble bath and allowing me to fall asleep in his arms, the next day he went right back to his wife hunting.”She chucked down the balance of her drink and gestured at their server for another round.Tonight was a single malt whiskey night.It was time she got solidly drunk.Maybe she’d sleep peacefully for the first time in days.
“That man is driving me crazy.”She shook her head.“The day I met him, I knew he was the man for me, the one I want as my husband.Perhaps I’m just being a fool to believe I could ever make him fall in love with me.”
“Believe it, darling.That man is halfway there.What you have to overcome is much more complex than that.My cousin told me all about Rex.Once he sets his mind on something, he’s like a dog chasing a cat.He won’t let up until he achieves his goal.”
