"Then what's the point of this whole setup?" Erin grumbled, disappointed.
Marina tightened her grip on her glass. Exactly. What was the point? It was just a massive waste of time!
As soon as she got back, she was going to break off the engagement!
Erin nudged her arm, gesturing for her to look over her left shoulder. Marina glanced over and saw a woman in her forties sitting in a booth, flanked by two incredibly handsome men. They were working her from both sides, sweet-talking her into a state of sheer bliss.
"If Carson is out there messing around," Erin urged, "you should be enjoying yourself too. It's only fair!"
Marina shook her head. "Forget it. That's not really my thing."
Erin stared at her in shock. "Don't tell me you're still a virgin?"
"Come on, let's go crazy tonight!"
Because of those words, half an hour later, Marina and Erin found themselves sitting in a private room. Two built, strikingly handsome men sat next to them.
The man beside Marina wore a tight shirt that showed off his chest. He rested his arm on the back of the sofa behind her, his deep, resonant voice excessively flirtatious. "Is it your first time here, gorgeous?"
An unknown, heady scent filled the room, making her head spin, her heart race, and her limbs turn into jelly.
Taking a deep breath, Marina tried to act experienced. "No."
The man placed his hand on her thigh, slowly inching upward as his gaze roamed over her face. "You're stunning. You have beautiful eyes."
Marina felt physically repulsed wherever his hand grazed her, as if a snake were slithering over her skin. She pinned his hand down and reached for her drink.
But the man beat her to it. He snatched the glass, took a sip, and cupped her face, leaning in slowly. His deep eyes were swimming with artificial affection.
Right before their lips met, the face in front of her suddenly morphed into Carson's. Those dangerously handsome eyes were ice-cold, staring at her with a mocking half-smile.
Marina's expression faltered. She shoved the man away and bolted from the room.
