[Music: Back To Black By Amy Winehouse]

"Don’t be so tense, darling... Eyes will be on us all evening," Zade said. "We should at least give them something worth obsessing over."

"And what is that exactly?" I asked, through clenched teeth.

"You know what," he murmured, eyes taking me all in like he hadn’t the whole time.

No one has ever looked at me that way... Like I was something to eat.

"Just so we’re clear on that... a little practice is needed."

"P-Practice?"

My breath hitched as he roughly pulled me against him. The span of his hands gripping my waist was far too much for my brain to process; the heat radiating from them was enough to melt my dress off.

"Give me those eyes that scream hopelessly in love. That’s one way to start."

Is he fucking serious right now?

"What’s the matter?" he asked, devilishly amused. "All you have to do is look at me like you can’t get enough of your husband."

My chest heaved as my irritation rose.

"You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?

"Guilty."

My nostrils flared. "What do you know about love? Have you ever had a woman look at you that way...?"

I’m gonna ignore the tightness in my chest when I asked that question.

"Well, most of them look at me like I’m meat served on their plate... does that count?"

UGH!

I pushed him off me, and the sudden sound of footsteps coming closer distracted me.

With a simple tug, I’m whisked back into Zade’s arms, his lips clashing down on mine in a passionate kiss.

I clenched his shoulder tightly to force him off, but that only encouraged the son of a bitch to come back harder, until we were basically mouth fucking.

I couldn’t resist a moan rising in my throat, and it got far too intense when Zade clutched my leg and hooked it against his muscular waist, the vibrator cramming in my pussy from the pressure.

"Oh my goodness!"

"Ahem!"

"Young love. So passionate."

I flashed my eyes open and successfully peeled my lips away. I saw two elderly women in their sparkling outfits pass through.

"Rrrrr!" she teased with a laugh.

"Don’t mind us, carry on. But you might wanna get a room, this is literally the entrance to the main hall." She winked.

My cheeks burned so hard as I watched them leave.

"There..." Zade coaxed. "We got them convinced."

I yanked myself off him and raised my hand, but he caught my wrist before I had the chance to slap him across the cheek.

I gasped when he spun me, and my back pressed against his solid chest.

"Unless you want another group of people finding us like this... I suggest you behave."

"I should say the same for you!" I hissed. "You can’t keep your hands off."

"I can’t help myself, darling. You’re just so irresistible. Feel that...?"

He pushed into me more, and my body went rigid when I felt something hard poking my ass.

Please God, let that be his belt!

"That is what I have to deal with tonight."

He released me, and I stumbled forward. I gaped at him with wide eyes, and slowly descended them to his pants.

Jesus!

"So tell me, darling... are you ready to play your part?"

My only response was my glare with a tilted chin.

Zade’s chest expanded as he sighed before dipping his hand into his suit to take out his phone, tapping against it.

"So braty. I hoped it’d come to this."

I was confused for a second before my body jerked by an unknown force happening between my legs. My lips parted as I leveled my gaze.

It’s coming from the vibrator!

I snapped my eyes back to his, non-verbally demanding an explanation.

Zade raised an eyebrow. "I’m disappointed. Didn’t you realize it comes with a remote?"

How the heck should I know? I have never used—!

I chewed the inside of my mouth as the vibrations intensified, and my back met the cold wall.

Zade stepped closer to me, his body shrouding me completely.

I didn’t know which affected me the most, the way he looked at me in wonder or the war happening in my pussy.

"What’s the matter, darling? Too much?"

It increased again.

"Z-Zade... not right here!" I panicked as this whole thing got out of hand.

Someone could walk in!

"You should have thought about that."

The vibrations became like a storm, and before I knew it, I was closing in on a fast orgasm that shattered through me.

My chest was heaving so fast I thought I was gonna have a heart attack. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Perfect," Zade murmured, gently wiping the corner of my mouth with his thumb as if to clean off a lipstick smudge. "So fucking perfect."

I rubbed my lips together, feeling all kinds of things I couldn’t describe. I was overly sensitive right now because that was the only explanation why I felt all the sweet shivers washing over me.

Zade picked up my purse and handed it to me. "Shall we?"

He doesn’t give me time to collect myself. With his hands braced at the small of my back, he led us out.

It was a miracle I walked without stripping on my stilettos or the fact that I’m able to stay composed. Maybe I’m still in a state of euphoria, and my brain is just woozy.

We stepped into the main hall, glowing with elegant chandelier lights, red velvet seats, and gold-lined balconies, giving the entire theater an old-world atmosphere that felt both grand and timeless.

Soft conversation and music filled the grand hall. Everything was just so classy and intimate, rounds of giggles and a lot of relations were ongoing.

Eyes flew to us as we became the center of attention. It was so wild and I was losing my goddamn mind.

I couldn’t help thinking if they knew what happened before we got here, even though it was a ridiculous thought.

Keep it together, Ana!

Zade took a flute of champagne from a walking waiter, drowning everything in one go and dropping the empty flute on the next passersby.

A couple came toward us to engage. Zade knew them, and they spoke briefly about shares and other business stuff I couldn’t follow up with.

I was too busy dealing.

I’m mortified by the fact that I’m gonna be walking around like this.

Crap!
