“What’s your secret to looking so good?” I stifle a laugh as the camera swings to me. I clutch my purse in front of me with both hands, trying not to laugh on live TV.
“Well, I work out almost every day, I eat the right stuff that gives me the right nutrients for my body. But it’s mainly working out, I like to stay fit and in shape,” he replies.
“It’s clearly working for you and making all the ladies fall for you!”
“Oh, I don’t know about that! I do it for me, not for people,” he says, once again avoiding the obvious reference to his many admirers.
And he does have many admirers. He’s known as the world’s playboy, the sex god of women’s dreams. The cause of panties dropping and hearts racing with just one look.
He has the body of a god, a million-dollar smile, and the king of sexy smirks. His eyes make you want to climb on top of him. His lips make you want to kiss him and never stop.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Knox Carter, the face you want to sit on for all of eternity. And let’s not forget that golden tongue and magical fingers.
Okay, focus, Alex!
“I see you’ve brought yourself a date tonight? Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’ve never brought a date with you to any of your events?”
“Yes, well, Alex was in the city for the Science Conference yesterday for a talk on girls in STEM, so I asked her to join me tonight. Isn’t that right, bab-Alex?” He corrects himself just in time, almost calling me by a nickname on live TV. My eyes widen as I realize I have to answer.
“Yes, well, he came to support me yesterday during my talk so I thought I’d come to support him tonight if he wanted me to attend. So, here I am,” I say, laughing nervously. His hand applies a little more pressure on my back, moving dangerously low.
“I have to say you’re both the best dressed of the night tonight-” Yeah, right, Cat. We’re probably the hundredth couple you’ve told that to. “Who are you both wearing?”
“I’m wearing Armani,” Knox answers smoothly.
“I’m wearing Givenchy,” I add, and she beams at me.
“That dress looks great on you, Alex! And your shoes? Are they Givenchy too?”
I shake my head and laugh. “No, these are from Zara, and so is this clutch,” I say, holding up my purse.
“Wow! They look so expensive,” she winks at me, and we say our goodbyes before moving on to the next set of cameras. The questions are all the same.
As we make our way up the steps, I see Lauren standing there with a glare on her face.
“Ugh, great…” Knox comments sarcastically, his hand still resting on my back. This should be fun.
We keep walking, the bodyguards stepping in front of us to block anyone from getting to Knox. Mainly Lauren. She stands there, arms crossed, glaring at us as we walk by.
We continue towards the entrance to the hotel hosting tonight’s event, walking into the main foyer for him to greet people.
I admire how easy he makes it look, how effortlessly he talks to people, while I stand there like an idiot. I see lots of supermodels and actresses cozying up to him. I’d wager he’s slept with half the women in this room.
Suddenly, an arm tugs me out of my thoughts and pulls me towards a body. I crash into a wall of muscle. “This is Alex,” I hear Knox say. I compose myself and stand up straight, looking around to see who he’s introducing me to.
I see the icy glares I predicted would come my way tonight. Tall blondes, brunettes, and a single redhead look down on me with their skyscraper bodies in heels.
The girls flaunt their natural beauty, their endless legs, and their radiant, baby-soft skin. I offer them a timid wave and a tight smile before my gaze drops back to the ground.
God, I’m so terrible with people.
“She’s my date for tonight-“
“Date? You’ve never brought a date before….” I glance up to see one of the blondes glaring at me, her upper lip stiff. She sips her drink, swirling her straw around.
“Yeah, well, she was coming here anyway. She gave a talk at a Science Conference yesterday on girls in STEM. It was really good!” I see a wave of relief wash over their faces as they relax slightly,
“Oh, so you only brought her because it was convenient and you felt sorry for her. Makes sense.” They all nod their heads in agreement. I’ve been here less than ten minutes and I’ve already been labeled an inconvenience.
“Actually, no, so don’t insult her. I brought her because I wanted to. Even if she hadn’t given that talk, I still would’ve asked her, Rachel.”
His voice carries a hint of irritation and I stand there, shocked that he would defend me.
He stood up for me.
Drew never stood up for me.
I bite my cheek to suppress a smile.
“God, I miss you saying my name, Knox. That deep, husky voice of yours. It gets even deeper when we’re alone. You look sexy tonight, very, very sexy.”
She steps towards him, her fingers tracing a slow path down his chest. Her voice drops a few octaves, aiming for seduction. She does it well, I’ll give her that.
“You know what else I miss… your big… hard…dick inside m-” she whispers in his ear, but I hear it. Loud and clear. He grabs her hand and removes it from him.
“That’s enough,” he states plainly, his tone low and alert. The other girls stare at him, wide-eyed in shock that he stopped her. To be honest, I am too.
I turn to grab a drink from one of the circulating trays. It looks like some sort of cocktail. It’ll do. I need something to help me get through this event if it’s going to be like this all night.
Feeling a hand rest on my arm and a whisper behind me, I know it’s Knox’s agent. “Sorry to interrupt, but we need the two of you to come with us for a photo op for People Magazine.”
I twist my head to look at her. “Both of us? I’m not sure I want to be in a magazine spread….”
She nods her head, scanning the room for the models. She catches Knox’s eye and tilts her head to the side.
“You’ll be fine. It’s just a spread for the event. Nothing about a relationship will be published. I’ll make sure of it. Don’t worry,” she assures me as we walk towards a private room.
Before we enter, Knox pulls me into a side room and tells his agent to give us ten minutes. He instructs her to knock four times when they’re ready.
Inside the room, I look up to see intricate design patterns sprawled across the ceiling. A single chandelier, adorned with silver and white crystals, hangs from the center of the room.
This room is stunning.
