Nineteen

Bria was glad she opted to wear a sheath dress, because she, along with Nya and Chance, met up with Kerryngton at the upscale Pollen Street Social for a private dining experience. When Bria’s eyes landed on Kerryngton looking all good in his designer duds she couldn’t wait to melt into his arms. And melt she did. He held her nice and tight, squeezing her just right. She felt like a roll of Charmin toilet paper, squeezably soft. She closed her eyes and engulfed his masculine scent. She hadn’t realized it before, but she missed him.

Kerryngton cupped her face in his hands and planted a wet kiss on Bria’s glossy lips. Her lips responded naturally. Without so much as a second thought she kissed him back.

Chance cleared his throat. “Remember us?”

Bria licked her lips, feeling a little embarrassed by that public display of affection. She and Kerryngton had never kissed like that before, and she liked it . . . a lot. She wiped the corners of her mouth with her thumb and index finger.

Kerryngton pecked her lips one more time before extending his right hand to Chance. “Nice to finally meet you,” he said. They shook hands.

“Same here,” Chance told him.

He then turned to Nya and hugged her. “It’s good to see you again.”

Nya giggled. “It’s nice to be seen.”

They sat at the wooden table with place settings for six and the waitstaff immediately began serving them an appetizer of Cornish crab vinaigrette, Nashi pear, cauliflower sweet ’n’ sour dressing, and frozen peanut powder. The food tasted delicious.

A waiter filled Kerryngton’s glass with wine first. Kerryngton, an obvious wine connoisseur, swirled the fermented grape juice in his glass before taking a sip, savoring the flavor, swallowing, and then nodding his approval. The waiter then filled everyone else’s glasses with the wine selection.

Bria hardly ever drank alcoholic beverages, but she didn’t have a problem with an occasional social drink over dinner. “All things in moderation,” her father would always say.

Kerryngton whispered in Bria’s ear, “I would’ve offered to let you stay with me at Corinthia Hotel in the penthouse, but I didn’t want to put you in a compromising position. Having you that close would’ve been too much of a temptation.”

She smiled at him. Admittedly, she felt strong. However, she didn’t readily place herself in positions to be tempted. She had sense enough to know that if she placed her hand atop a hot stove, she just might get burned.

“I hope you don’t mind, but one of my up-and-coming artists and a music producer will be joining us for dinner,” Kerryngton announced to everyone. “They are finishing up a track in the studio and should be here shortly.”

“That’s fine,” Bria said.

They talked about how excited they were to be in London and all the places they wanted to visit. While laughing at one of Chance’s corny knock-knock jokes Bria’s laughter came to an abrupt halt when she saw Spade and another guy walk through the door.

Spade appeared stunned. He looked from Bria to Chance to Nya and stopped dead in his tracks.
