Chapter 10: Will

I always considered going to the Winter Gala a bit of a chore. It’s not that I wasn’t keen to raise money for the Children’s Hospital. I gave them money every year. In fact, last I checked the Leukemia wing was still named after me.

The thing I wasn’t crazy about was stuffy parties that were crawling with socialites, and the Winter Gala was attended by every kind of rich person there was. New Rich, Old Rich, Inexplicably Rich.

There was nothing I dreaded more than having to schmooze with people I would normally avoid, but the fact that Ella would be there was enough to make me look forward to it. I thought it might be fun to see how she reacted to the sheer decadence of the event, and I trusted that sending her over to get fitted by Alastair was enough of a hint that it wasn’t just any old fundraiser.

Of course, I hoped the real fun would start when we left the party. It was obvious from what she’d said that I would have to take it slow, but I didn’t know how much longer I could wait. After all, I never waited for anything apart from elevators and meals in restaurants, and I only waited for those things because I couldn’t pay someone else to do it.

And it wasn’t so much that I didn’t think Ella was worth waiting for. The fact that she’d resisted me even after she melted in my hands meant that she didn’t give herself to just anyone. So I was determined to make it extra special when she finally let me have my way with her.

The problem was that patience wasn’t my strong suit, and I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to continue pretending much longer. Craving her was one thing, but in my experience, cravings only grew more intense when they weren’t indulged.

I picked up the phone and dialed 8.

“Will, darling. How are you?”

“Fine, Alastair. Thanks. I was just calling to see how things went with Ella this morning.”

“They went fabulously. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but your description of her was perfect so we had lots of great choices.”

I smiled at the thought of her turning in front of the mirror while Alastair raved at her. “So she found something she was happy with?”

“Of course she did. The only problem we had was narrowing it down.” He mumbled something about a hem to someone and then spoke back into the phone. “She looked good in everything. Her body is to die for. An absolute pleasure to dress.”

I felt my chest tighten at the thought that he may have seen more of her than I had at this point. “Oh good.”

“And she was so funny,” he continued. “She wanted to know if I made anything ready to wear that was machine washable.”

“And?”

“I sent her home with a goody bag and put it on your tab.”

“Excellent.”

“She nearly wouldn’t take it though.”

“I’m not surprised. She can be quite headstrong when she wants to be.
