Nope.
Sea lions. Brain, we’re doing facts about sea lions. Go!
Sea lions have sensitive whiskers that detect vibrations in the water.
I am detecting vibrations.
So many vibrations.
“It’s so tight.” She gives a sharp inhale. “I need to grip it harder.”
Sea lion males can weigh up to—
“There.” Her breath catches. “Right there.” Her fingers work faster. “Don’t move, don’t move, I almost—almost—”
—can weigh up to seven hundred—
“Come on,” she pleads. “Come on, come, come—”
SEVEN HUNDRED POUNDS—
“Yes.” A gasp. “Yes, yes.” Her whole body tenses. “YES!”
I have completely lost the thread of the sea lion. All I hear is her voice sayingyes.My jaw is clenched so hard I’m going to need dental work.
Her whole body shudders with the effort and then—
CLICK.
“There!”
My hand comes free.
We explode apart like a grenade went off between us.
My eyes go straight to the tight peaks of her nipples straining against the navy fabric.Fuck, they’re begging for my mouth, my hands, my everything.
Her gaze follows, dark and hungry, landing on the obscene ridge of my thick cock tenting my pants. It’s impossible to hide.
I clear my throat, snatch my jacket, and yank my bag off the bed. My legs haul ass to the door like they’ve got a one-way ticket to Anywhere But Here.
“I’ll see you in the ballroom.”
I don’t wait for a response. I power-walk out of the room. Down the hall. Into the elevator. I stab the lobby button and stand stunned.
Jesus.
This event is going to be four hours of sheer hell, stuck working next to her in that dress, my palm still ghost cupping her luscious tit.Firm. Soft. Oh-so-squeezable.
I should’ve let her hit the floor. Chivalry is overrated.

Good news. The ballroom looksstunning.
Blue-green light ripples across the polished floor as paper kelp sways from the ceiling in thick, tangled waves. Schools of fish swim past lush coral on LED screen walls that surround the stage. It’s not just decor: it’s full submersion without the wetsuit.
