Chapter 70
As we settled down , Nate got up and went up onto the stage . A guy came rushing out of the curtains and handed him a microphone before rushing away . Nate tapped on the top to test it before starting .
“ Ladies and gentlemen , May 1 ask if you could all please settle down so we can begin our night . ” He stopped and looked around . There was silence in the crowd . He smiled and carried on .
“ Thank you all so very much for coming tonight to support our charity . My father , Dwayne Cooper , couldn’t be here with us tonight to thank you all personally but he sends his love and thanks through the wonderful gift bags we have put together for you tonight . Most of you are already aware of our charity but for those that aren’t , we have a short video here for you . ”
On cue , the lights dimmed and a projection screen came down in front of the curtains . It started playing a video about the Coopers Charity organisation . I had already seen it the video a few times while we had been planing . I picked up a breadstick and started nibbling on it .
I hadn’t realised the silt on my dress had parted when I crossed my legs . It had exposed a lot of both my thighs and the rest of my legs . It was literally only covering my underwear . I felt Blake move his chair a little closer . He put one arm around the back of my chair and leaned towards me . I ignored him and carried on nibbling my breadstick , keeping my focus on the screen .
Suddenly , there was a hand on my thigh . I looked up at Blake who was now very close to me . He gently squeezed my thigh and I gasped .
“ I’ve made you promises that I can’t guarantee I can keep tonight , ” Blake whispered in my ear . His hot breath fanning across my bare neck and my ears . He squeezed my thigh again and started to gently stroke my exposed thighs . I was so glad Taylor made me get my legs waxed for this dress . His warm hands were soft and I felt my heart pick up speed .
I quickly put my hand on his and stopped him .
“ Seriously ? That’s what you have to say ? How about you start with something like , “ you look beautiful “ . ” I whispered back at him . I looked around to see if anyone had heard but everyone was engrossed in the video .
Instead of answering , he grabbed the hand I had on top of his and moved it to his crotch . He placed my hand on his inner thigh and pressed my hand down . Through his pants , I could feel hard skin instead of soft thigh skin . Without thinking , I squeezed and started to feel for what he was showing me . I heard Blake groan and he pressed his forehead to my shoulder . What the hell is his problem ?
I kept moving my hand until I got to the top . Then it hit me . Shit ! I quickly pulled my hand back .
“ Why the hell do you have a boner ?! ” I whispered at him , quickly looking around again .
“ You . ” That was all he managed to croak out .
What ? Did he get a boner from how good I looked tonight ?
Before I could say anything the video finished and Blake straightened up . The lights came back on and I watched Blake straightened his jacket . He grabbed the napkin on the table , opened it up and placed it on his lap before pouring himself another glass of water and chugging it down .
Nate’s voice boomed on the speakers “ thank you for watching that everyone . As per normal , we will have the auctions start with the smaller items before moving on to the larger ones . We all know that the Cooper Vacation homes are up for auction tonight as well . We hope you get to spend a nice vacation with your family at one of our many homes . I wish you all happy bidding and once again , thank you all for your love and support . Before I had the mic over to our auctioneer , I have a little announcement to make . ” He stopped and looked down at Blake and me .
