Chapter Sixteen

“You look magnificent,” I told Tricia, the moment she came into view and I walked hurriedly toward her. My body instantly buzzed with excitement when the chemistry we shared arced tiny sparks of desire between us both on sight.

A wide smile stretched her perfect cherry red lips and she stepped closer until we were toe to toe. “I’d say the same about you, but that wouldn’t do justice to how dashing you look in that suit, Mr. Wild,” she replied playfully, and toyed with the lapel on my jacket.

We stood for a moment, taking each other in. I moved her long hair, which was swept to one side over her shoulder and covered her breast, and placed it behind her back. Exposing her long slender neck brought back the memory of the time when I’d marked it. A sharp zap of pleasure coursed through my veins. “That’s better,” I told her, sounding satisfied, and stared in appreciation at the effort she’d made to look good. Not that it took anything to make her look amazing.

For a long moment we both stood tongue-tied again, and I noted the atmosphere was completely different from that in the penthouse earlier. I reminded myself there were no barriers for us like there was then. Apologies had been made and accepted. Indecision and doubts had been understood on both sides, and if I’d felt the road behind us had been uncomfortable for most of the time, the future ahead had appeared clearer if not entirely brighter.

Dressed in a midnight blue backless dress with a plunging neckline, her appearance was simplistic, yet highly sophisticated. My eyes were riveted to her as she stood confidently, allowing me to take my fill of her. I thought there weren’t many women in this world at her age who could carry a dress as revealing as hers off, with the same poise and dignity, like she had.

A voice clearing brought me out of my trance-like state, and I cast a sideward glance toward the male host who had spoken before returning to Tricia. “Wild,” I muttered to him but kept my gaze on her.

“Of course, Sir. I have reserved the perfect table for you, please follow me.” I vaguely heard his response, but it hadn’t registered until seconds after Tricia smiled and raised her brow.

I leaned toward her and brushed my lips against her soft cheek. “Shall we?” I asked, placing my hand on the small of her back in a show of chivalry she’d only experienced from me when I’d done my duty at my brother’s wedding.
