11: Party Crashers

Dom POV

I stepped into the elevator behind Letty and pressed the button that would take us to the Prince's party. I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

"What, something wrong?" She asked. I caught her gaze and looked into the eyes I loved with my whole being.

"There's a billion things wrong. But not in this moment."

"You look handsome." She messed with the front of my suit.

"I feel awkward." I patted the monkey suit once, hating the feel. Give me a beater and jeans any day.

"You and me both."

"Seeing you dressed like this just reminds me of something."

"Of what?"

"Old times..." I gently took her hand and she looked down with a  small smile frozen on her face. "You okay?"

The elevator dinged opened and she snapped out of her thoughts.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Showtime." I said and we got off the elevator.

***Eve POV

Safar had previously showed us all the layout of the Penthouse and he was now leading us (Tej, Ramsey and I) to where he assured us we would be safe to hack into the security system while Brian and Dom found the car and the chip. I knew I wasn't quite as over Safar as I wanted to be and tried to keep my distance, but he stayed closer to me than I was comfortable with. As Tej and Ramsey set up their equipment, he turned to me.

"You look good Eve." Turning up his charm. Damn him.

"Thanks. You look the same." Deliciously yummy. I cursed myself for thinking it. "How's your wife?" Extra snarky, for good measure. Also to remind myself how much of an asshat he was.

We met when Safar visited America. We bumped into each other outside the job I'd had at the time and hit it off right away. He met Ramsey and she approved. He spent an entire summer there when he was only supposed to stay a few weeks on business. Little did I know, he was really there to search for a vacation home for his family. As in a wife and three kids. And I stupidly became his mistress. Boy did Ramsey and I both cut into him for that. And the dumb ass had still tried to sleep with her after all that drama.

Two years of minimal contact and here we were.

"The same." At least he didn't try to deny her this time. The smallest bit of progress.

"Hmmm..." I said and walked closer to Tej and Ramsey.

"Eve," He said, following me. He kept his voice low, so only I heard. "I've missed you... Let me take you out to dinner tonight."

"No thanks."

"Evie..." He took my hand, about to raise it to his lips, but I ripped it away before he got too solid of a hold on it. Ignoring the use of the pet name he'd given me, I said nothing.

"Safar! She said no." Ramsey came to my aid and I blew her a kiss in way of thanks. She smiled back.

Safar muttered to himself and left not long after her reprimand. Tej and Ramsey were settled and ready to go. I grew bored and debated on going upstairs to join Roman in the heat of the party.

"Roman?" I asked through the tiny earpiece I wore. An identical one donned the ear of all of us.

"Yeah baby girl?"

"Tell me what floor the party's on again?"

"Seventeenth."

"I'm heading up." I walked back to the elevator and had just entered the party room when I heard Roman talking softly.
