Two weeks laterâ¦
âChampagne?â
Sydnee turned to the man holding a large serving platter of bubbling crystal flutes. Choosing the nearest glass, she held her silver clutch in on hand and the glass in the other.
Forcing her lips into polite smile, she offered the gentleman a soft, âThank you.â
âMy pleasure.â His brown eyes sparkled with interest. âAnd please, let me know if thereâs anything else I canâ¦do for you.â
He was tall and handsome. The manâs features were perfectly symmetrical. And she could tell by the way his suit fit that he kept himself in good shape.
Physically, he checked off all her usual boxes. So why didnât she feel even the tiniest inkling of attraction?
You know why.
With her fake smile still plastered across her face, Sydnee ignored the thought, as well as the serverâs obvious line, and gave him a tip of her head before turning and walking away.
She dropped that smile the second her back was to him. When she did, another manâs face flashed through her mind.
One that made her pulse race and her heart ache.
No matter how hard sheâd tried, the guilt she felt for leaving Asher in that hotel room hadnât lessened one iota in the last two weeks. If anything, Sydnee felt worse with each new day that passed.
It didnât help that she also found herself becoming angered by the fact that sheâd heard nothing from him in all that time.
Not a single text. No phone calls. Nada.
Nothing but complete radio silence.
It was irrational, she knew. After all, he hadnât been the one to sneak away like a thief in the night, and it wasnât her pillow that had housed the pathetic âthanks for a good timeâ note.
Nope. Asher had been a complete and total gentleman. Heâd protected her when she thought she needed it without so much as a blink of an eye, heâd had her back when sheâd insisted on making the trip to Baltimore to confront her father, andâ¦
Two mind-blowing orgasms that left her weak with pleasure and wanting more.
Hence the cowardly running.
So here she was, still kicking herself two weeks later, and she had no one to blame but herself. Like so many times before, Sydnee told herself to suck it up, accept her decision, and move on.
Except this isnât like those other times. This time you actually have something to lose.
On top of everything else, the gala had barely started, which meant she still had two more hours of fake smiles and insincere laughter to contend with.
Glass in hand, she took a long gulp of her champagne. The slight burn of the sweet carbonation was a welcome distraction, and hey. With any luck, maybe she could get a good buzz going she could forget all about the man whoâd given her the best sex of her life.
Better yet, maybe Iâll pass out until Iâm old and gray, and my interest in sex has vanished.
Sydnee spotted her father across the room. Theyâd talked briefly when sheâd first arrived, and heâd seemed genuinely happy that sheâd come.
