Chapter 18

THE PRIVATE PARTY WAS so different from the official one, and not just because it was in a dim room that resonated with loud music.

Everyone had changed into more comfortable clothes, and some of the girls, including Saffira, were wearing surprisingly daring sexy cocktail dresses for noblewomen.

Now I didn’t seem completely out of place all of a sudden, and it was weird. But I stayed away from the sofas and the dance floor, and stood in the corner of the room, hoping no one would see me or care about me.

“I have a surprise for you,” Ryder yelled as he held up Saffira’s hand.

She beamed at him as everyone gathered around them.

“Dancers!” The prince let go of her, taking a step back, and a group of shirtless, very good-looking guys jumped out of the darkness.

They surrounded Saffira, moving in rhythm with the music, as everyone clapped and cheered.

Ryder pushed his way through the crowd and grabbed himself a drink, which he downed in a few big gulps.

Saffira and her girls were dancing with the dancers, and I wondered if Ryder had hired them so he wouldn’t have to be anywhere near her.

Or hell, maybe he was hoping she’d fall for one of them. Sure, she’d probably still have to marry him, but at least she wouldn’t be all over him.

I felt someone’s gaze on me, and when I looked up, I realized Ryder was watching me.

“Would you like to dance with me?” A dark-haired guy flashed me a smile.

Where the hell had he come from?

I glanced at Ryder, whose face had gone completely serious as he watched me and the guy as a hawk.

Huh. I didn’t really want to dance, but I had a feeling it would piss Ryder off if I accepted.

“Okay.” I gave the guy a small smile.

He wound his arms around my waist, and I wrapped mine around his neck.

It was weird to be so close to someone, especially since I was sure he was one of the people who’d mocked me earlier. But almost everyone here laughed at me and thought I was beneath them anyway.

We swayed together as I did my best not to look in Ryder’s direction. But then the guy’s hands moved to my ass, squeezing.

“Um, no.” I pushed at his chest, but he didn’t let me go.

“What’s the matter, love?” he said, his hand slipping from my ass to my thigh.

“Let go of me!”

“Your dress is pretty. I bet you like nice without it too.” His lips searched for mine as he held me in a tight grip.

“Let go of me!” I repeated, wondering how much trouble I’d be in if I broke his nose.

“Do you know who I am?” he asked, his dark eyes burning with anger. “I’m a lord, and you’re nothing. You should be happy I’m even willing to look at you.”

I wanted to knee him in the groin and bang his head against the wall.

Repeatedly.

“Declan!” Ryder placed his hand on the guy’s shoulder and yanked him off me.
