Serena

The ballroom of the hotel was like a scene out of a fantasy.

Twinkling fairy lights provided an enchanting contrast to the dark backdrop of the secret garden theme Serena had gone with for the adults that night. Her team had done an amazing job of making her vision come to life. Illuminated foliage, flowers, and cut-outs of night creatures complemented the seating and table centrepieces. She was thrilled with how beautiful it all looked.

There was a winter wonderland set up beyond the garden in which the children could play, including a “snow mountain” where they could toboggan, build snowmen, and indulge in snowball fights. There was also a crèche area where the little ones could be supervised at all times and the older ones could retire to when they were tired of playing “outside”.

With all the weeks of planning and hard work invested in this event, she couldn’t believe the day had finally arrived, but the butterflies stomping around in her stomach like a stampeding herd of elephants was a clear enough indication that it had, indeed, arrived. Now, if she could just lay a hand on a glass of champagne to steady her nerves, all would be well in her world.

As he started to make his way towards her, the first of his guests arrived, and his attention had to be redirected. Releasing a breath she’d not been aware of holding, Serena wasn’t sure if her sigh was relief or disappointment. She silently laughed at herself as she went in search of Ginny. Her right-hand woman was there to help her make sure all went well at the most important event on the social calendar for the year.

A couple hours had passed, dinner had been served, and all Serena had seen of Sebastian were glimpses around the room. She was feeling so tired and feeling a little out of sorts, but given an opportunity, she’d love to spend a bit of time with him.

They’d spent a fair amount of time together over meetings, lunches, and dinners in the build up to the gala. And their attraction seemed to just keep growing. She wondered, though, whether this was just a fling for Sebastian.

They’d shared some mind-blowing sex, and
