302 Expediting plans 3 (2/2)
The door closed after Joseph, and a second later, Quentin clicked his tongue.
”Your acting skills are amazing, my fiery Goddess…” Quentin murmured while pulling Brianna into his embrace.
”My dad has a soft spot for me.” Brianna said smugly.
”So, do I…” He gave her a long slow kiss. ”You performed beautifully.”
”You were not bad yourself.”
”Can we have our dinner now? I'm hungry.” Quentin admitted.
Brianna made a face. ”When we agreed to call my dad over, I instructed security downstairs to keep the food for themselves.”
Quentin grimaced. ”What about us?”
Brianna giggled. ”Let's order again.”
Quentin pouted. ”It will take more than half an hour for the food to arrive.”
”I can think of several things we could do in that half an hour.” Brianna winked at him playfully.
Quentin approved. ”Let me place an order…”
After placing the order, Quentin remembered… ”Will your dad suspect something?”
”I don't think so. You saw him, he bought our story, which is close to the truth, so whatever Tom says, it will be perceived as Tom is twisting it to his agenda. Tom will claim that I'm sleeping with my clients, but other than you, I didn't see anyone outside my office.”
Quentin's lips lifted into a smile. He is confident that he is the only man in her life, but it still feels good to hear confirmation.
Brianna saw the change in Quentin's expression, but she didn't want to comment on it. She knows that he is happy that he is getting special treatment, but she will give that to him because they are dating.
”You told my father that we met in Seattle before I came here. So even if he has someone to check on me, it will only confirm your story. I made sure that security in this building is outside my father's influence so as much as he knows, I am here by myself, and I'm seeing you only for business. And soon, I will announce that our relationship evolved into beyond professional.”
”You thought of everything.” Quentin praised Brianna.
”Soon, I will introduce you to my father, and to the rest of my family as my boyfriend.” Brianna said proudly. She already knows that her dad admires Quentin.
”When you come to Seattle, I will introduce you to my family. As my girlfriend. They will be shocked; I never brought a girl home before. Not as a girlfriend at least.”
Brianna paused. Quentin lives on his own, and so far he never mentioned his family. Now that she thinks of it, Reynolds publishing is not his company, he only works there. And Quentin mentioned that his father is the main figure. Ah, she has no idea about Quentin's family!
Quentin chuckled. ”What are you panicking about?”
Brianna looked at him suspiciously. ”What makes you think that I'm panicking?”
”Maybe you can fool your father, but me… not so much.” Quentin said in a voice lower than usual and pulled her into his embrace. ”From day one I knew that you fell for me, and you stayed away on sheer stubbornness.”
Brianna snorted. ”When I hear you talk like that, I would think that you didn't fall for me as soon as we met.”
”Oh, my fiery Goddess. I fell for you before we met. But from that moment, I knew that staying away would be suicide. While you… resisted the inevitable.”
Brianna enjoyed small kisses that trailed along the edge of her jaw. She smiled. ”I was foolish. But now I acknowledged that I fell for you, and I will not let go.”
”Hold on tight, my Goddess. Because we are up for a wild ride…” Quentin murmured while pushing her down on the shag area rug.
Brianna gripped his shoulders and moved as Quentin commanded. Because she knew that the ride with him will be wilder than she ever imagined. And she wouldn't want it any other way.
