His Angel

Chapter 15

Laura kept looking up at Ronald, until she heard the snaps from camera and felt the blinding flashes of light on them which caused her to quickly wiggle out of his hold and straighten her dress as she glared at the paps that were taking pictures of them.

Ronald took her hand in a firm grip and took her out of the area and it was a hold that she welcomed at that moment. And he actually took her to a less secluded place, from where she could see some couples already dancing to the slow tune of music.

"I'm sorry about that," he apologized genuinely, which actually surprised her. "Those buffoons never know their boundaries. I thought the celebrants ordered that they be locked out for the meantime, I don't know how these ones managed to get in. They probably snuck their way in."

She gave a small smile. "It's okay. It's not your fault."

He grinned sexily, making his face appear more handsome.
"I wasn't expecting to see you here."

Laura shrugged. "Let's say I've decided to crawl out of my shell."

"That's the best thing I've heard all day." He said huskily, making her blush a little. "I'm glad you've decided to take a step out."

She smiled at him, but her smile wavered when she saw him, looking devastatingly handsome in a tux, as she looked over Ronald's shoulder.

He was on the dance floor with other couples and in his arms was a very beautiful and curvy young woman. She looked like one of those seductive young queens in historical magic movies. And their bodies were so close to each other like they were Siamese twins. The lady was smiling up at him and they looked like they were about to kiss.

Laura looked away. Great, he probably realized she wasn't worth his time and moved over to his next conquest. She was supposed to be okay with it but she found that she was annoyed instead and tried to shake the feeling away but it lingered.
And well, guess she was right about her stepsister not being the only woman he was banging.

Ronald glanced at the couples on the dancefloor then asked her to dance. She almost refused, but one look again at Greg and his partner who were eating each other with their eyes got her to accepting Ronald's hand.

He guided her to the floor and she let him pull her close to his hard body while the scent of his cologne drifted into her nose.

"You are beautiful." Ronald complimented in a husky voice.

She smiled. "I bet you say that to all the women."

"Only to the ones who deserve it." He said with a smirk. "And you fit in that department, perfectly."

"I'm flattered." She said with a laugh.

He grinned. "It is but the truth. And I'm sure most of the men here agree with me."

"And how do you know that?" She smiled.

He leaned down and she froze as she felt his breath on her neck. He whispered into her ear.
"Don't look, but I can see some envious eyes looking our direction."
He smirked mischievously as he straightened.

She laughed, absently conscious of Greg and his woman as Ronald pulled her closer.

She promised herself not to stare at the other couple, few feet away from them and hoped to God she would keep to it.
But as stubborn as the eyes could be sometimes, they involuntarily strayed to the said couple once more and Laura froze as she noticed that Greg was looking back at her and he had a very dark scowl on his handsome  face.

Greg was bored to death when the party had only just started. He had been faking smiles as he danced with Sophia but all he wanted was to go to his house and rest his tired ass.
