Agnes purred. “And I’m ready.”
“Ready for what?” he asked in a low voice, irritation sprouting fast.
Agnes giggled then leaned closer. “I’m ready to see if you really deserve your title, Mr. Fuck King.”
He shook his head exasperatedly, glancing around the hotel lobby. Fortunately, no one was close enough to hear Agnes’ comment.
Agnes’ hand crept up his thigh. He grabbed it to stop its progress and placed it on her lap. Did this woman have no shame? They were in a public place! “Agnes,” he said in warning.
Fortunately, Agnes had to answer her ringing phone and Connor stood up, eager to get away.
“Wait, Connor!” Agnes grabbed his arm while she spoke with someone on the phone. “...Can you wait?... Fine, I’ll be out shortly,” she said impatiently to whoever was on the line.
“Eager to go upstairs, are you?” Agnes teased, misreading his actions from earlier. “Unfortunately, I have to go, Connor. Someone’s waiting for me outside to take me to an important party attended by famous people. We’ll have to do this some other time.”
Connor exhaled his relief. “I’m leaving tomorrow morning, Agnes. I’m afraid we’ll have to forget about this.”
Agnes pouted, her disappointment more than obvious. “Oh, that’s not fair! Amanda will have sex with the two of you, but I won’t?”
Connor scowled. “What do you mean?”
“Amanda and Lucas went out somewhere a few minutes ago. You know where that would lead.” Agnes sighed. “I wish I could pull out of this party, but I can’t. Anyway, if Amanda decides that Lucas is the better lay and you want someone else’s opinion, call me. Lucas has got my number.” Then Agnes hurried off.
Connor stared at her in shock. What the hell was Agnes talking about? Agitated, he headed for the lifts. Might as well check up on Amanda and see what was keeping her.

H ands on hips, Connor stared at Amanda’s door, willing it to open. He’d knocked a few times already but there was no answer. He couldn’t hear any sound coming from the inside either.
He hurried back to the lobby. Maybe Amanda had been on her way down when he went up and they'd missed each other?
But she wasn’t there.
He took a deep breath, confused and more than a little hurt. They’d had amazing sex last night. But more than that, he really thought there was a deeper connection there somewhere. He wanted to explore what that was. Did he get it so damned wrong?
He’d subtly questioned Amanda last night on how often she partied with Lori. Amanda had said that she hardly ever saw her cousin. Apparently, Lori had considered it a challenge to get Amanda to go out with her last night after learning about Amanda’s New Year’s resolution with her best friends.
Amanda had been reluctant to tell him what that New Year’s resolution was, but he’d managed to tease it out of her. She’d turned beet red when she said it was about her and her best friends promising to make time for love, with the end of the year being their deadline in finding the right guy. The joy he’d felt at her explanation had been so unexpectedly strong that he’d made love to her yet again.
So had she lied about that? If so, why?
He pulled his phone out to call Lucas, only to replace it back in his pocket. Lucas would make the biggest deal out of Connor calling to see if Amanda was with him. No, calling Lucas was a bad idea.
Besides, maybe Amanda was just running late from her day out with her aunt. He’d wait there for a while. That would be the best thing to do, since he didn’t have her contact number.
An hour later, Connor got up from his seat and trudged to the exit. That was more than enough time waiting for a date to turn up. There was no question that he’d been stood up.
Maybe Agnes had told the truth after all—that Amanda had gone with Lucas.
Well, fuck it. Lucas could have the stupid title Connor never wanted. And if Amanda was with Lucas? Well, fuck that
