from my internal ass whipping. “If you didn’t notice, I’d say you were dead inside, Foster.”
As soon as I see her laughing and chatting it up with Heather, I realize my ass is totally going dancing later. Evan is right. She’s more than qualified. A helluva lot better at this damn job than Ryan ever will be.
Speaking of Ryan, I’m going to deal with his ass and soon. But first, I need to know exactly what it is he’s doing with my clients.
“Beautiful indeed,” I admit with a sigh. “But, as much as I’d love to discuss Miss Parker’s charming ways, I actually wanted to talk to you about something else.”
“Come dance with me,” Chelsea yells over the club music. “You owe me.”
Quincy grins at me while Evan waggles his brows. I shake my head at them, biting back a smile. They were Team Chelsea from the moment they laid eyes on her. When she brought Heather over to meet Evan before the show and managed to easily incorporate that we were his PR firm into conversation, I’d gotten on Team Chelsea too. She’s smart and charismatic. There’s an energy about her that draws people in, myself included.
“A deal’s a deal,” I say, taking her hand, allowing her to lead me onto the dance floor that’s crowded with moving bodies. “You know I’m the oldest guy out here, right?”
Her slender arms wrap around my neck as her sea green eyes light up in a mischievous way under the flashing lights. “Sorry, couldn’t hear you.”
Our hips move in tandem with the beat. Now that I’m allowed to touch her, I quickly become greedy, grabbing hold of her narrow hips and pulling her flush against me. I dip my head to her ear, letting my lips brush against the shell.
“I said, you look beautiful tonight.”
She turns her head slightly, so her mouth is near my ear now. “Thank you. And, for the record, you’re not old, Foster.”
With her young, ripe body grinding against me and my eager dick shamelessly pressing into her, I feel anything but old. It’s easy to forget who she is and how old she is or the fact she’s my intern when my palm is dangerously close to her ass.
It’s my turn to speak into her ear. The urge to nip at her earlobe is strong.
“You were spectacular tonight,” I rumble, no longer able to keep up with the beat. We slow our dancing to a sway. “My client loves you and you’ve already hooked another one who desperately needs Dunbar Foster. You’re a natural.”
She turns, pulling slightly away to look at me. “You seem surprised.”
“A little.” My gaze drops to her pink, pouty lips that are glossy and so fucking tempting. “I knew you were clever and sociable when we talked that night at the beach, but I didn’t realize how driven to succeed you are. And not in a ladder climbing way. You genuinely want to do this job, and not just for any company, but for my company. Chelsea, you impressed me, and I wasn’t expecting it.”
She licks her plump lips. “There’s a lot more to me than meets the eye.”
“So I’m learning.”
Her fingers thread into my hair as she pulls me closer, her lips slightly parting as if waiting for a kiss that will rock her fucking world.
And it would.
My mouth would decimate hers and it would be just the beginning. I would devour her inch by inch, tasting every sweet part of her until she screamed for mercy. Together, we could be fantastic in bed.
But…
Oh, fuck me, there always has to be a but with anything good.
But, she’s Mason’s kid. Eighteen. My damn intern.
I take my hand off her ass where it had slowly crept to and press my thumb to her lips. With a quick peck to her forehead, I release her, though it takes every ounce of willpower in my body.
“I should get you home now, Miss Parker.”
Her crestfallen expression hits me right in the chest, but ever the poised socialite, she straightens her spine, affixes a pretty, fake smile and nods. “I think you should, Mr. Foster.”
CHAPTER FIVE
Chelsea
I think I know how Cinderella felt when that dreaded clock struck midnight and she knew everything had to go back to the way it was before she danced with her bonehead prince.
Tonight was fast-paced and extremely public just like I knew it would be, but deep down I had hoped there might be a chance to get a little alone time with
