BAD REPUTATION
“Beautiful… and unbelievably sexy.”
Olivia felt heat creep up her neck.
“And I can’t wait to get you home later,” he added softly.
She let out a quiet breath and glanced past his shoulder. “Your mother is watching us,” she said.
Derek didn’t even bother turning his head. “I know,” he replied calmly. “I want her to watch.”
Olivia frowned slightly. “Why?”
He smirked. “Because it's all part of the plan to get her off my back.”
After the dance, Derek excused himself to speak with a group of men gathered near one of the cocktail tables. Olivia took the opportunity to grab a drink from a passing waiter before heading to the restroom to freshen up.
