Chapter Fourteen
Hallie
JODIE TURNED OUT TO be great company. She took my mind off worrying what the men were up to, even though she must have been worried as hell about Leo. We were already several cocktails into our drinking, and our conversation had gone from polite to raucous. Before I knew it, we were discussing which celebrities we fancied and comparing sex toy recommendations. I had no idea what the time was, but it didnât look as though the hotel bar was going to be closing up anytime soon.
Our squeals of laughter caught the attention of most people in the bar, but in particular that of two young men. They were both smartly dressed, and in their late twenties to early thirties, and they must have decided to see if their luck was in. One came to stand to my left, while the other propped himself against the bar on Jodieâs side.
âCan we buy you ladies a drink?â the taller of the two, who was standing next to me, asked.
From his accent, he sounded as though he might be local, though his English was perfect.
I tossed my hair. âWeâre more than capable of buying our own drinks, thanks.â
Truthfully, everything we had ordered had gone straight on the room, and I assumed Tam would pick up the bill.
He didnât seem fazed in the slightest at my knockback. âIâm sure you are, but that doesnât mean we wouldnât like to treat you.â
He raised a finger at the barman, and a second later, a bottle of champagne was brought over to us. I thought Iâd probably had enough champagne for the day after spending the afternoon with my brother, but the couple of drinks Iâd already had weakened my resolve. Besides, it felt good to have a man regard me with a warm smile instead of a cold glare.
âAre you from Estonia?â I asked.
âFinland, actually. Weâre like Estoniaâs big brother.â
âIs that right?â
âAnd what are two beautiful English women doing here in Estonia?â the shorter of the two asked.
âIâm here with my fiancé,â Jodie said. âSorry to disappoint.â
âDonât tell me your fiancé is here, too.â The taller one glanced at my hand. âNo ring, I see.â
Tam had never bothered to give me one. It hadnât even occurred to me that I should either want or need one.
âIâm...here with someone,â I said, âbut itâs complicated.â
His blue eyes sparked with interest. âWhy would being with a woman such as yourself be complicated? As far as I can see, itâs simple. Youâre blessed with the type of beauty that should be cherishedâworshipped, even. Whatâs complicated about that?â
A flash of me on my knees, his salty cum coating my tongue, intermingled with the taste of my tears...
Jodie shot me a look of warning, but it felt good to have someone speaking about me with a positive tone. Recently, all Iâd experienced from men was disdain and violenceâeven from my own fatherâand though I knew this handsome young man had sex on his mind, his open smile and flattering words put me on safe territory.
