laughed, and had a great time at my little cousin’s birthday.”
“Uuhhh,” Korrine groaned. “I’m such a bad friend. I was supposed to be there for Lo, and I get drunk and end up in bed with her cousin. And what about B? What is he going to say? Shit!”
“Korrine, relax, okay? Lo was fine. She was taking shots with us, and who the hell is B?” Tony asked, feeling some kind of way about a mere mention of another man from a woman he spent most of the night wrapped around.
Korrine sighed in relief. At least she didn’t leave her friend on her birthday, and was that annoyance at the mention of Brandon? Hmmmm…interesting.
Korrine raised a perfectly arched brow. “Well, I’m glad nothing happened and that I didn’t leave Lo on her big day. I guess I should say thanks for taking care of me last night. But, if I remember correctly, a large men’s t-shirt is not what I had on last night.”
Tony smirked. “What kind of host would I be if my guest was uncomfortable in any way? Besides, as beautiful as you looked in that hot little number you had on last night, I didn’t think you would want to ruin it by sleeping in it…and…again, who is B?”
Is he jealous? Interesting indeed. Why would a man like Tony be jealous of anybody?
Korrine smiled a saccharine sweet smile and replied, “Well, again, thank you for… you know… undressing me and making me ‘comfortable’ in your home.”
Korrine deliberately didn’t answer Tony’s question about Brandon. She noticed how “uncomfortable” he was with the simple mention of another man. There’s the arrogance showing its ugly head. She knew it wouldn’t take long for him to show his true colors. How can she, a measly mortal woman, think of another when this God of a man was in her presence? He was so irritating. Even though she wouldn’t, no couldn’t, think of any other man while lying beside a naked chest as glorious as the one before her, she couldn’t help but push his buttons just a little. She was irritating herself. Why play games with a man she didn’t plan on ever sharing a bed with again? Damn, I’m petty.
Korrine sighed, “B is my best friend. He escorted me to the party last night, but we lost each other in the crowd. I should actually call him. He’s probably been blowing up my cell.”
Tony still had a frown on his face, which Korri thought was sexy. Dang, get it together, girl. Stop lusting over this man, and get a move on.
Before she could move, Tony spoke. “If ‘B’ is the guy from last night, he was with Lo. He said he had somewhere to be, kissed you good night, and left you with Lauryn. What kind of man leaves his date with someone else?”
“The kind that has known his date for seventeen years and left her in the very capable hands of ‘The Lauryn Cameron.’ Besides…like I said…best friend.”
Tony’s frowned lessened, but he still wasn’t completely satisfied with her answer. But he let it go…for now.
Chapter 4
Tony
It had been a month since Tony woke up wrapped around one of the sexiest bodies he had ever seen…or felt, for that matter. Now Tony was no slob; he had beautiful women all the time. Models, actresses, pop stars; you name it, he had them. But Korrine; she was something special. Tony couldn’t put his finger on what it was about Korrine Taylor that made him lose all thought and control over his body. Yes, she was beautiful and undeniably sexy, but she had an endearing quality; a sweetness he couldn’t deny. She was strong willed and stubborn, which is why she shouldn’t be worth the hassle; but, for some reason, she was. Tony was a fun loving kinda guy. He didn’t need to settle down with anyone; there were far too many beautiful women in the world to savor.
As a sports agent with his own firm, Tony was very successful. He didn’t need his family’s fortune; he had his own. With the money he had, he could have as much fun as he wanted. “Work hard
