I turn my head and look up at him, my eyebrows pulled together. “You don’t have to pretend anymore.”
Turning his emerald eyes to me, he smirks. “Oh, baby girl. You asked me to be your man for the night, so you’re getting the full Daddy Kieran treatment. Besides, that fucker is still watching us, and I don’t like him or his date. I’m going to rub it in his ugly face that I got the most beautiful girl in the room, and he lost her.”
Um. What? Am I drunk? Did he just say? Most beautiful girl in the room? Holy fuck. Did Kieran actually give me a compliment?
“Better close your mouth, baby girl. Otherwise, I’m going to think you’re wanting me to kiss you.”
I snap my lips closed and continue to stare up at him. Is he drunk? One of us has got to be wasted, right? Because this is not normal.
“Why did you even date that asshole? On looks alone, you’re way out of his league.”
“Kieran,” I say.
The corner of his lip twitches. “I’d prefer my girl call me Daddy, but I guess I’ll allow you to use my name for tonight.”
A bolt of lightning strikes right through me down to my core.Daddy. That’s so hot. I should have known he was a Daddy Dom. The signs have been there, but I’ve been too busy trying to ignore his existence.
He nudges me up to the bar, where he starts to order for the both of us. When he doesn’t say please or thank you, I dig my elbow into his side until he glances down at me with a scowl.
“Manners.” I arch an eyebrow at him, and when he finally understands, he sighs and looks at the bartender.
“Thank you,” he grits out quietly as he drops another hundred-dollar bill onto the bar top.
“Was that so painful?” I ask as I pick up my martini.
“I’ll ask you the same thing after I put you over my knee,” he grumbles.
The sip I just took spews out of my mouth as I start coughing. Did he just threaten to spank me?
“Easy, baby girl.”
My cheeks heat, and I duck my head. Fuck. People side-eye me as Kieran leads me away from the crowd, but he doesn’t seem to notice or care.
He takes my drink from me and sets our glasses on a nearby table. Then, as if my head weren’t already spinning, he cups my face.
“Paisley, relax. I was teasing you.”
Narrowing my eyes, I purse my lips. “You don’t know how to tease.”
He smirks, pinning me with those gorgeous green eyes. Holy hell. I’ve always thought the man was attractive, but when he grins like that, it’s a whole new level of hot.
“I know how to tease, baby girl. Now, for the rest of the night, you’re mine, and I’m going to treat you as such, so get used to it. By the time this party ends, that dipshit and his bitch are going to know that Paisley McKee belongs to me.”
My nipples ache against the fabric of my dress. Even though none of this is real, I let myself wonder for a brief second what it would be like to belong to Kieran.
“It’s just pretend.”
His eyes darken, and his brow tenses slightly. “Tonight, it’s not pretend. You’re mine right now. You begged me to play along, so I am. Now, be Daddy’s good girl and drink your martini.”
When I start choking on air again, he shoots me an exasperated look. “Jesus, Paisley. Relax, baby. Fuck, why are you letting this asshole get you so uptight?”
Biting my bottom lip, I debate how much to tell him. It’s humiliating. But something tells me Kieran will see it differently.
“He cheated on me with her, and she sent me photos of them fucking in our bed. There’s more, but that’s the big picture.”
Kieran’s entire expression turns so thunderous that I shiver. I’ve seen the man in a bad mood, barking out orders, being a pain in the ass to me, but I’ve never seen him like this.
“I’m going to kill him and make her pay dearly.” His voice is low and deadly, and fuck, why is it turning me on? What is wrong with me? I need to talk to Chloe about this. Except, he’s her brother. Shit. Well, she married her brother’s best friend so she really can’t have a problem with it. Hopefully.
