Louis was extremely satisfied with the effect, putting earrings and a necklace on Charlotte Allison. After taking pictures from several angles, he was satisfied and sent her out the door.
In the elevator, Lucas Quinn stood half a step behind Charlotte, staring at her exposed back. He found her delicate butterfly bones entrancing and was tempted to leave a mark with his teeth, signaling that she was spoken for.
His gaze was unhidden, and Charlotte easily guessed what he was thinking. She reached back, took his hand, and pulled him forward slightly, whispering, "Stop staring at my back, Mr. Quinn. Your eyes make me feel like I'm leaving the house without clothes."
Lucas clasped her hand back, his thumb rubbing her ring.
"It's beautiful."
"I want to hide you so no one else can see." he said.
"Be good, you can hide me for two days this weekend." she replied, with affection.
Lucas chuckled brightly, his Adam's apple rolling, as he lowered his voice, "Promise me, no backing out."
