and look pretty?” I grinned at him, and he scowled at me. “Seriously, don’t worry. I have your back. You can always follow my lead.”
“Thanks, I know I could count on you.”
He took a deep breath, and we strolled to the living room. I wasn’t used to Dad freaking out about anything, and finding him so frazzled made me curious about who the guests were.
There were about fifteen of us in total at the little soiree. Men with their wives, although I did spot one other same-sex couple. The mayor and his wife, and at least two of the men I was introduced to had British accents.
True to my word, I stayed by Dad’s side, giving him silent support so he wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable among these people. He actually did a better job at socializing than he’d thought, and I liked that although Declan was busy walking the room and talking business, every so often he came over to check on Dad. I didn’t miss their little hand-holding or discreet kisses. Or the way Declan’s eyes trailed Dad, even when he was on the other side of the room.
Damn, I could see what Oscar had meant about being jealous of the two. The connection they shared transcended anything I’d ever witnessed before.
I was deep in conversation with one of the men from Britain, who was explaining his business interests in Moore Financing, when there was a subtle shift in the air. A hush fell over the guests, and everybody turned toward the entrance. My breath caught. Charles had arrived.
Our gazes immediately locked across the room, and memories of the last night I’d seen him flooded my head. How he’d talked with such love about his first wife, how he’d said he was jealous of seeing me with another person. The way he’d looked up at me leaning against the wall of the building and told me to fuck him, even though he couldn’t get a boner in his drunken state.
Would the offer still stand tonight when he was sober?
He stood out from among the other businessmen in the room. It was not because of the way he was dressed—form-fitting pants and a dress shirt that was so tight it strained against his chest. He’d left the top two buttons undone, showing off his chest. As usual.
It had everything to do with the way Charles Moore moved with sophistication and poise. He broke our eye-fucking, and a smile lit his face as he shook the hand of a man close to him. From the way he commanded everyone’s attention, it was obvious who was the top dog here.
He was. As was his son.
I’d seen vulnerable Charles, and that side of him flicked my Dom switch every time. But witnessing this side of him as well, just like the day at his office, made me want to bring this powerful man down to his knees.
I stalked him with my eyes as he moved around the room. He had a charming way with the men, and he bewitched the women. I watched in amusement how their cheeks turned red and they smiled up at him like he was Adonis, even in front of their husbands.
If anything, seeing him in this element was like an aphrodisiac. Every movement of his, every smile, every laugh heated my blood. Like a predator locked on its prey with the sole intention of toying with him, only to carry him off later and devour him, I lost focus of why I was here tonight.
All I could think about was having Charles on his hands and knees still dressed in his expensive clothes while I painted his face with my cum. He refused to swallow, which was fine. We could get creative with cum in different ways, and him wearing it was another satisfactory option.
“Auggie.” Dad nudged me, and I dragged my eyes away from Charles to him.
“Yes?”
“You completely spaced out on me.” He groaned. “I’m going to step out for a bit. Are you fine on your own?”
“Sure thing, Dad.”
He slipped out of the room, and not five minutes after, Declan excused himself and went after him. I shook my head at them. Were they really ditching their own party for a quickie?
I got roped into a conversation about cryptocurrency and ended up in a stimulating debate about the subject. For a minute, I completely forgot about Charles, caught up in the passionate discussion. I hadn’t talked business in a while, and dammit, I missed it. I
