“Then we’ll grab the drink during intermission.”
“What about your date?” She presses with an annoyed expression.
“My date?” I sigh. Maybe trying to make her jealous had been a stupid idea. It seemed to be backfiring on me. She looks over at Lisa and raises her eyebrows. Lisa is quite clearly glaring at us, and I know if ice daggers could fly from her eyes, they would. I offer Lisa a placating smile, but she doesn’t respond in kind.
“She’s pissed at you.” Katherine offers me a wide smile. “Likely means no sex for you tonight.” She’s practically laughing, like she thinks it’s hilarious.
“As I said, this wasn’t a date, and I had no expectations of sex tonight. At least, not with Lisa.” I wink at her, and she groans loudly.
“Does Lisa know that?”
“She’s an old friend that I asked to go to a show with, that’s all.”
“Like I just said, does Lisa know that?” Katherine tilts her head to the side and stares into my eyes. “For a rich man, you’re either oblivious, dumb, or just a complete and utter shithead.”
“Ouch, what happened to handsome, funny, and sexy?”
“Those are not words I’d ever use for you.”
“What about desirable, seductive, and hip?”
“I wouldn’t use those words either.” She grins. “So I’d rethink sucking back up to Lisa because if you’re getting anything tonight, it will be from her and not from me.”
“Maybe I don’t want her.”
“Can’t always have what you want.” She shrugs. “Especially if you’re going to play games.”
“Why do I feel like you’re trying to give me a life lesson?” I lean closer to her and whisper in her ear. “Are you as turned on as I am right now? Are your panties wet?”
She gasps slightly and moves back. “Inappropriate questions, Jack.”
“I could just find out.”
“Find out how?”
“With my fingers or with my tongue?”
“Do you want to lose them?” She touches the side of my face lightly. “I have scissors, you know?”
“In your purse?” She nods, and I burst out laughing. “Then I suppose I need to be a good boy.”
“Yes, you do.” She bites down on her lower lip. “I’m going to have a seat now.” She turns around and then looks back at me with a veiled look in her eyes. “And to answer one of your questions, my panties aren’t wet…I’m not wearing any.” My breath catches as she turns away from me, and I can feel my heart thudding as I ponder what she’d just said. Was she telling the truth? Fuck, that was sexy. All of a sudden, I wanted to be anywhere but here right now. I head back to the seats and let out a small sigh as Willow and Brielle sit next to Katherine. I take a seat next to Lisa and smile at her.
“Excited for the play?” I ask, and she just gives me her death glare that reminds me of a Death Eater from the Harry Potter movies.
“What was that?” She hisses loudly.
“What was what?”
“Who is that whore that you invited to watch the play with us? Another woman on your roster?”
“I don’t know what you’re saying.” I turn away from her and mentally slap myself. I’d forgotten that Lisa was a bit over the top. Suddenly, she stands up and grabs Danielle’s hand.
“I’m not your plaything, Jack. I will not be disrespected.” She turns back to look at Katherine. “By the way, you’re not special either, you’re just another one of the women on his roster. He’s just another loser who can’t settle down.” She looks back at me. “Go to therapy and don’t call me again.” And with that, she and Danielle leave. I watch as Katherine sits there grinning and clapping.
“I was wrong about her,” Katherine says with a wide smile. “She has my utmost respect. You have a roster, huh?”
“You’re not on it.” I pause, feeling exposed and annoyed. “Unless you want to join.”
