Tempting (Red Lips & White Lies, #1)

by Bella Matthews

I guess I’ll be seeing you two at the gala next week. I believe your mother is one of the chairs of the event, Mr. Sinclair.” I look to Kenzie, not knowing what gala he’s talking about but not willing to let him in on that fact. Her tongue darts out and wets her lips, and I might be going to hell because I really shouldn’t be picturing what those lips would look like wrapped around my dick . . . but I sure as shit am. Fuck me. What is it about this tiny woman that’s always made my mind spin in ways it shouldn’t? She plays into my ruse and laces her fingers with mine. “I think we were waiting to see what your preseason schedule looks like.” “When did you say it was?” I ask, almost forgetting fuckface next to us until he decides to insert himself back into our conversation. “It’s next Saturday at the Kroydon Hills Plaza Hotel. We’re raising money for the hospital’s autism research department,” this asshole tells me. Now that makes sense. My uncle has autism, and Mom has always championed research and resources for neurodivergent kids in Kroydon Hills. Guess I’m going to a gala. “But I’m sure Kenzie can manage without you, Mr. Sinclair.” The way he says her name, like she’s an expensive toy he’s been denied . . . I don’t like it.
