had some business to do over here, so I thought I’d drop by and check on things. Did you need something?”
“I would like to talk to you about setting up a new display. I think Ellery should be in on the meeting as well.”
“Okay. What kind of display?”
“Contemporary Eroticism.”
His brow arched as he stared at me. “Oh. Interesting. Are there specific paintings you had in mind?”
“I spoke with an artist just a bit ago and he showed me his portfolio. His work is beautiful. I was going to go look at some of the galleries around and view their displays to see if there’s any uniqueness.”
“I see. Let’s set up a meeting then.” He pulled his phone from his pocket. “How about tomorrow around noon? Call the artist and have him meet us here. I’ll have Ellery drop by and we’ll discuss it.”
“Noon is good. Thank you, Connor.”
Chapter 12
Sebastian
I leaned back in my chair as I read Chloe’s text message and got the impression there was a hint of anger in her words. Maybe not so much anger, but definitely an attitude. Did she really have plans tonight? Or was she just pissed off because I hadn’t been in contact with her since our night together last week?
“Hello, Sebastian,” Eli answered.
“I need you to follow Chloe after she leaves work and find out if she goes home or somewhere else. I want to know if she’s lying to me.”
“Will do.”
Placing my phone in my pocket, I walked out of my office.
“I’m leaving the building, Mackenzie. I’ll be back later.”
“Okay, Mr. Bennett.”
Stepping inside the gallery, I looked around and saw Chloe standing over by the Impressionist art display, holding up a painting against the wall. She looked so beautiful in her black short skirt and gray fitted sweater, which showed off her hourglass figure with perfection.
“Do you need help with that?” I asked as I walked up behind her.
When she turned her head, her narrowing eyes locked with mine. Fuck, she was making my cock go wild.
“No. What are you doing here, Sebastian?” she asked as she set the painting down.
“I was in the neighborhood and I thought I’d drop by and say hi, since you declined my dinner invitation.”
“I’m sorry, but I have plans for tonight and I’m not cancelling because you want to have dinner. We’ll have dinner together when I’m available,” she spoke as she walked away.
“And what if I’m not available when you’re available?” I followed her as she walked up the stairs.
“Then we’ll have to get our calendars out and schedule a night we’re both available.”
“You’re pissed off at me. I can tell.”
“No, I’m not. Why would I be pissed?” she asked as we walked into her office.
“Because I didn’t call or text you all week.”
“Then you don’t know me very well, Mr. Bennett.” She smiled.
“No. Actually, I don’t. The only real thing I know about you is how incredible you are to have sex with. That’s why I want to have dinner with you. To get to know you better.” I winked.
“I’m not sure if I should be flattered or not by that comment.”
“Believe me, you should be.”
Walking closer to her, I placed my hands on her hips and stared into her gorgeous green eyes.
“I need to kiss you.”
“You need to or you want to?”
“Both. You look very sexy in that outfit.” My hand left her hip and roamed up her skirt, pushing the crotch of her panties to the side. “You’re wet.” My tongue swept over my lips.
“Sebastian, please.”
“Please what?” I whispered as my lips softly touched hers and my finger dipped inside her.
“We can’t.”
“I’m not going to fuck you, Chloe. I’m just going to give you an orgasm so you’ll think about me when you’re out tonight.” My finger moved in and out of her.
“Oh God.” She threw her head back and moaned as I dipped another finger inside.
My tongue trailed down the front of her neck, gliding across her soft skin. Pressing my thumb
