CHAPTER FIFTEEN

The festival’s fun, the glitz impressive. Billy stays close to me, following Eldon with her eyes as he breaks into groups of movie people and pushes his contacts. After looking in at a couple of screenings we decided to part for the evening, Eldon and Billy to catch up with more film buffs, Darnley and I with each other.

On the red carpet, the brothers got plenty of attention, their looks and evident wealth – Darnley’s men discreetly ensure them plenty of space – mesmerising.

Eldon reminds him he wants to film at the training complex. ‘Sounds terrific, bro. Can’t wait to see it. I got a lot of contacts now. We could be onto something big here, man.’

Darnley and I exchange a look.

‘Sure. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.’ Darnley grins at me and we head for the hotel.

It’s getting late when we reach our suite. When he finally closes the door, loosens his tie and pours us a drink he’s so quiet I wonder briefly if he’s forgotten I was wearing the bracelets.

‘Do you think Eldon will ever make a go of it?’ I tail off at Darnley’s dark gaze.

‘How the hell should I know? Get that thing off. Real slow.’

I feel his fingers at my neck and a rush of cool air as he slides my zipper down and follows it with the tip of his forefinger, down my spine, warm and firm. I writhe at his touch like a cat.

‘Peel it down. All the way.’ The tension in his voice is new and raw. What brought this on? Is he setting up some new torment, some new way to break down my resistance?

He leans on the arm of the sofa, arms folded. ‘What happened to your other gown?’

I freeze. In a panic I’d stuffed the torn scraps back into the bag and thrust it all into the waste disposal. Did he see?

I avoid his eyes for a moment while I gather my wits. Once more I’m strongly tempted to blurt out everything, but I’m scared for Chet. And I’ve promised Freda …

‘If you forget things when you pack, just say so, Ella. We could’ve had it flown out.’

‘It seemed too much trouble,’ I murmur. ‘Even for Eldon,’ I add quickly.

As my tight cocktail dress slips down to my feet I feel truly exposed, vulnerable.

Does he suspect something?

When he signals me to turn round I shiver as the soft designer fabric of his trousers brushes my naked thighs. He comes up close, his swelling flies jutting deliberately at my quivering butt, where my thong’s doing a poor job of hiding my curves from his greedy gaze.

‘You looked terrific tonight.’ His voice is low as he runs his hands down my sides and over my arms, his touch light and stirring. I feel the down rise all over me as he leans over. His breath is warm on my skin as he plants a soft kiss on one of my shoulder blades, touching lightly with the tip of his tongue, and then does the same on the other.
