One Night in London by Sandi Lynn Page B

my friend. I’ll be in touch.”
    “Sebastian, wait. Chloe is a great woman and I know I don’t have to—”
    “I know and, no, you don’t.”
    “Okay. Have fun in Vegas.”
    “Thanks. We’ll talk soon.”
    Chloe sat across from me with wide eyes as she listened to me talk to her boss. I knew Connor wouldn’t mind, but I needed to put Chloe’s mind at ease.
    “I cannot believe you just called him.”
    “Why? We’re friends. He said that he doesn’t have a problem with you taking the day off as long as you feel you can. So can you?”
    “I don’t know. I have an exhibition coming up in a couple of weeks.”
    “Then you can work extra hard on Monday.” I smiled.
    “Fine. I’ll go to Vegas with you.”
    “Excellent. I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning at eight a.m.”
    “What time does our flight leave?”
    “Whenever I want it to.”
    She narrowed her eye at me as if she didn’t understand.
    “I have my own private jet, Chloe.”
    “Really?” She smiled. “That is so cool.”
    I chuckled. “I’m happy you think it’s cool.” I looked at my watch. “If we’re finished here, I must get back to the office.”
    “And I must get back to the gallery.”
    I paid the bill and placed my hand on Chloe’s back as we exited the restaurant. Walking her back to the gallery, I softly kissed her lips.
    “I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”
    “Thank you for lunch.”
    “You’re welcome.” I pushed a strand of her beautiful blonde hair behind her ear.
    I climbed into the limo and sank back against the lush black leather. What the fuck was I doing?

Chapter 15
    Chloe
    A s I walked into the gallery, I was on cloud nine.
    “Gregory, Micha, I won’t be in tomorrow, so I’ll need you both to handle things while I’m gone.” I grinned.
    “No worries, Chloe.”
    I stood there with a twisted face, waiting for one of them to ask me why I was taking the day off. They didn’t.
    “Aren’t you going to ask why I won’t be here?” I placed my hands on my hips and cocked my head.
    They looked at each other.
    “It really isn’t our business why you take the day off,” Gregory spoke.
    “Well, I’m making it your business. Go ahead. Ask me.”
    “Why won’t you be in tomorrow?” Micha asked.
    “Because I’m going to Vegas for the weekend!” I exclaimed with excitement.
    “How fun!” Gregory spoke. “Who are you going with?”
    “Mr. Sebastian Bennett.”
    “Lucky girl,” Micha replied. “He’s dreamy.”
    “He sure is. If you’ll excuse me, I have some work I want to finish before I leave.”
    I couldn’t believe Sebastian asked me to go away with him. Two nights and three days of us having nothing but sex, sex, and more sex, not to mention the fact that I would be snuggled up against him all night long, feeling his warm naked body pressed against mine and his strong arms wrapped tightly around me. I needed to call Sienna.
    “Hello, friend.” Her face appeared on the screen as she sat at her desk.
    “Guess who’s leaving for Vegas tomorrow morning?”
    “I don’t know. Your parents?”
    “No, silly girl. Me! Sebastian asked me to go with him and I said yes. So I will be unavailable starting tomorrow through Sunday.”
    “The man is wising up. I’m so happy for you.”
    “This could really be the start of something, Sienna. I’m totally crazy about him.”
    “Listen, Chloe, and don’t take this the wrong way. You know I love you, but for the love of God, don’t get yourself caught up in him. I don’t want you to get hurt. I have never seen you react like this to a guy before and, to be honest, it’s scaring me.”
    I rolled my eyes at her.
    “Don’t roll your eyes at me. You know it’s true. I’m just looking out for your well-being.”
    “And I appreciate that, but this is all your fault.”
    “How the hell is it my fault?” She frowned.
    “You’re the one who pushed me into having a one-night stand with a stranger in a foreign country. Had you never done that in
