Chapter Nineteen

"How about we take a walk", Tristan murmured in her ears, she Nodded.
They walked towards the buffet, "have you eaten?"
"Uhm...No", Faye suddenly realized she was starving although she has been drinking wine while eyeing the variety of food on display.
She cupped some food in her plate and started eating.
"Hmm....... This is so delicious" she moaned, laughing.
Tristan laughed in agreement, while eating his.
"Wine?" He offered.
Faye was about to respond when she choked on her food, her big eyes were trained on the attractive manly figure walking confidently towards her.
She quickly collected the wine gulped it hurriedly her eyes not leaving his as he stopped infront of her chair.
Her eyes widen when Daylan extended his hands to her ignoring Tristan like he was never there.
"Dance?" He offered his hands not giving an option of refusal.
She refused to take his hands....... Refused to look up to him, she clutched her wine glass tightly trying to keep her wild hormones in check.
"I...... can't Dance, she mumbled somewhat disappointed. Daylan thought she was lying but when he saw the discomfort in her eyes and body language, he believed she was being honest.
He exhaled. "Come' he instructed pulling her hand before she reject his offer again, She looked at tristan who nodded with a wink.
"Just follow my lead Faye", he literally lifted her off her seat, her hands close to his she felt a ting of adrenaline surge through her.
" I can't dance Mr sage' she warned.
"I doubt'' he grinned circling his hands gently around her waist, Just put your arms around my neck he instructed.
She swallowed nervously, obeyed and tried her best to avoid his piercing blue eyes.
Faye was trying to focus on the music when Daylan palm touched the bare surface of her lower back.
Desire jolted through her that shocked her with intensity, she wondered if he felt it too because everything seems normal to him.
Daylan smirk, "this dress looks lovely on you Faye", he complimented with his eyes trained on her beautiful face.
"Thank you", she mumbled, trying to control her racing heart.
He had felt something quicken within him when his palm touched her heated flesh, he was surprised at how his body reacted but quickly masked it.
She looked sexy as hell from her makeup to this her figure hugging dress, to her inviting lip coupled with her shyness whenever she is with him, it made heat coiled low in his belly. Desire for her spread through him like wild fire in harmattan.
"Am I dancing well?" She asked in a soft voice that made him almost run mad with desire.
"Yeah, Yeah! You are" He mumbled gruffly drawing her up against his chest so she should not see the desire to bed her in his eyes and hopefully his hardness.
Faye inhaled his masculine sent, she decided to make herself comfortable in his arms, he is so handsome with his silk evening shirt and figure hugging jeans. She exhaled his cologne mixed with his natural sent and sigh..
If only he was hers.....
She raised her head and their eyes met, nothing else existed except she, Daylan and the music.
His finger moved higher across the bare skin between her shoulder making her flesh tingle,
she wanted more and unconsciously moved closer tightening her arms around him with her breast pressing on his chest.
Daylan groaned his hot breath against her throat was like a kiss that made Spam between her legs.....he drew nearer to her mouth slowly to cover her inviting lip with his, the music came to an end.
He closed his eyes in disappointment and reluctantly released her.
damn! the music.
"I don't think I will be able to ask for a dance again", his soft voice barely a whisper send tingle to her thighs. She smiled
"Uhm... Tristan?"
His face harden, "fine! You can go" He snapped walking out on her with his shoulder stiff.
Faye knew she made him angry mentioning Tristan's name, but that was the only way for them to get away from the awkward situation they were in.
She turned and walked towards tristan who was enjoying his champagne.
"I'm surprised he released you", he teased. I thought he won't allow you leave his side throughout the entire night.
Faye laughed, "he can be a gentleman......sometimes," she reached out for her champagne and drained the content at once, dancing with Daylan had dehydrated her.
She looked and saw Maya and ameerah talking and decided to go over to them giving herself a break from tristan.
"Tristan...." she smiled at him, "....Iam going to say goodnight, and I look forward to meeting you tomorrow evening", she avoided his eyes.
"Leaving me already?"His tone was disappointed.
"Not for long" she smiled.
"Till tomorrow then princess", he winked and walked away.
She walked over to her bestfriend and co-worker whose eyes were trained on tristan departing figure. "Girls?" She snapped her fingers.
"Maya blinked, "who is he Faye?"
"He is the new guy you saw me with earlier, and unfortunately the same guy Mr sage ex lover cheated on him with"
Hand to their mouth, their eyes widen in shock, "OMG!"
