The smell of sugar faintly swirls in the air. It makes my stomach growl as I wait. And wait. And wait some more.
My stomach churns, and I knock again.
Did she change her mind?
I should have closed this deal last night.
The sound of her releasing a security chain fills my ears. It only adds to my frustration. She should have a dead bolt, not just a chain that someone can easily cut through. The door opens, and my heart skips a beat.
Georgia's long blonde hair falls in loose curls over her shoulders. She's wearing brown knee-high boots and a long-sleeved, blue floral dress. A worn denim jacket caps off the outfit. Her skin glows, competing with her doe-eyes and lush mouth that I'm more than willing to have on mine.
She chirps, "Good afternoon, Mr. Cartwright."
My lips twitch. I love it when she calls me Mr. Cartwright. Or Sebastian. Hearing her say my name in her sugary-sweet voice stirs so many deviant thoughts. One way or another, I'm making her mine during this fake marriage. She'll be begging me for it, and I can't decide if I'll make her call me Mr. Cartwright or Sebastian when she does.
I'll switch it up depending on how I have her.
"I think it's best if you stick with Sebastian from now on. My family will think it's odd if you don't." I drag my gaze over her body, lingering on her tits and between her legs, then slowly lock it on hers. Flames ignite on her cheeks, and I lower my voice and add, "Until it's more appropriate, that is."
"More appropriate?" she questions, nerves filling her expression.
"Yep." I step inside, and she retreats. I push the luggage in front of her.
"What's that for?" she inquires.
"This is for you. Go fill it," I order.
"I have my own luggage."
I snort. "Of course you do. What's the brand?"
She wrinkles her forehead. "What does that matter?"
I cross my arms. "It matters because my wife wouldn't be rolling around non-designer luggage."
"What's wrong with an off-brand?" she challenges.
I fake a yawn. "You're smart. Figure it out."
She tilts her head and gives me a disapproving look.
I shake my head, relaying, "There's no way my wife wouldn't have the best of the best. Did you forget I'm rich?"
She rolls her eyes, stating, "So I have to be a snob?"
"Why does having the best make you a snob?" I ask.
She huffs. "It shouldn't matter what brand your luggage is."
