One Night in London by Sandi Lynn Page A

white photographs towards the end. Not only do people like the realism of my paintings, but they like the still photography I do as well.”
    “Beautiful,” Ellery and I spoke at the same time as we stared at the photos.
    “Indeed it is.” Connor smiled.
    Ellery glared at him and lightly smacked his arm.
    “What? They are beautiful photographs. I’m agreeing with you. Caden, this gallery would love to exhibit your artwork. Chloe will handle everything and go over with you how we handle commissions and sales.”
    Caden’s face lit up as he thanked Connor and Ellery. We said our goodbyes and I took Caden into my office.
    “We’ll set up the exhibition in two weeks. That’ll give us enough time to advertise, invite, and get your work in here.” I reached in my desk drawer and pulled out a contract. “Here is the contract for your art. Read it over, and if you agree with everything, sign it and return it to me when you deliver your paintings. Also, I want to set up a few sculptures, so make sure you send them as well.”
    “I can’t even believe this. Thank you so much, Chloe. I owe you big time.”
    “You’re welcome and you don’t owe me anything. I’m just doing my job.” I smiled.
    I walked him out of the gallery and turned my attention to Gregory.
    “I need you to run an ad for the exhibition and send out some invites.”
    “Where are we going to put the display?” he asked.
    “Second level. We have all that space up there on the other side of my office. We’re going to need some more display cubes and a sign to put down here indicating that Contemporary Eroticism is upstairs. Have Micha take care of that.”
    “Will do, Chloe.”
    “Thanks. I’m heading out to lunch now, so I’ll be back.”
    As I was walking out the gallery doors, Sebastian stopped me.
    “Going somewhere?” He smiled.
    “Lunch.” My belly fluttered at the sight of him.
    “Perfect timing. Me too.” He held out his arm.
    What the hell. I placed my arm in his and we walked down the street to a small but cozy Italian restaurant.

    Sebastian
    I wasn’t going to see her today. In fact, I had planned on not calling her or seeing her for about a week. She consumed my mind every waking minute and I even found myself dreaming about her when I slept. This wasn’t supposed to happen. It never had with any other woman and this concerned me a great deal that it happened with her. No matter how hard I tried to put Chloe Kane out of my mind, she wouldn’t leave.
    “I had a wonderful time with you last night.” I smiled as I reached across the table and placed my hand on hers.
    “Me too. But it would have been better if you had stayed the night.”
    “I’m sorry about that, but I couldn’t. I told you I had an early meeting this morning.”
    “I know. I was just saying that it would have been better.” She took a sip from her wine glass.
    I was about to do something that I had never done before.
    “How would you like to go away with me for the weekend?”
    “Where?” She smiled.
    “Vegas. I have a business meeting. It won’t take long and then we can have the rest of the weekend together to do whatever you want.”
    “You mean we can actually sleep together in a bed?” She smirked.
    “That and many other things.” I winked.
    She bit down on her bottom lip. “When are you leaving?”
    “Tomorrow.”
    “I have to work all day.”
    I pulled my phone from my pocket and dialed Connor.
    “Connor Black,” he answered.
    “Connor, it’s Sebastian.”
    “Hello, Sebastian. To what do I owe the pleasure?”
    “Would you mind if I stole Chloe Kane tomorrow?”
    “What do you mean?”
    “I’m flying to Vegas and I would like her to go with me, but she says she has to work.”
    “Oh. I didn’t know the two of you were seeing each other.”
    “That’s yet to be determined.”
    “Ah, I see. If she can swing the day off, it’s fine with me. She’s the manager and she knows if she can or can’t.”
    “Thank you,
