Kervyn puts his hands on my shoulders and gently guides me out of the room. “He’ll be fine with Asher for one evening. You need to get out of the house.” Kervyn says as we walk past the hallway. “She’s got the baby monitor. It’s fine.”
I sigh and put my leather jacket on over my black dress so my shoulders are covered. I’m back to my usual curves, but I’ve grown so much as a person I no longer try to hide it. Looking beautiful is just what I do now.
Kervyn leads me straight out of the house and to the car, where Currie and Leon are waiting to take us to the club.
I pout. “You don’t need me to go out.”
“Yes, but you need to get out.” He says as we climb into the limo.
As we drive to the club, I snuggle up to my husband, teasing him with quiet promises of being tied up in his office.
He side-eyes me, but he’s smirking.
We spend most of the night in the VIP section, and I’m pretty content to dance there for the rest of the evening while Kervyn watches me from his seat.
I kiss him softly, “I need to stretch my legs, I’m going to go request a song from the DJ booth.”
I know Kervyn’s eyes are on me like a hawk as I leave the VIP section and make my way through the various bodies to get to the DJ Booth. He leans down and I shout my request in his ear. He nods and I start making my way back.
I bump into someone and turn to apologize when I freeze.
Tom is standing in front of me and he gives me a once over with his mouth slightly open. “Penny? Is that really you?”
I quiver a little but I recover even faster as I hold my head high. “Hello, Tom.”
“I haven’t seen you in months.”
“How is married life treating you?” I ask. “I assume you have married Carmen already.”
“Divorced already, I realized too late what a fool I’d been, Penny. You were always the one for me.”
My blood boils and I turn to go but Tom grabs my hand, “Please, Penny. Let’s have a drink for old times sake.” He smiles.
“I am in the VIP section,” I comment.
As I enter the VIP section, I look over at Kervyn, who nods to me, and I smile, waving Tom into the VIP section. I casually walk over to the bar, “A whiskey please, and whatever he wants.”
”You’re so kind,” Tom says, leaning against the bar. “VIP hey? You must be doing well. What job are you doing now?”
“I’m in a leadership position,” I smirk. I know Kervyn can hear me.
“I was rather upset the last time we saw each other. Knowing you’d used me like that Tom…”
He presses a finger against my lips. “No. Don’t bring up the past. We’re going to move past that and move on.”
“I wouldn’t do that,” I say, looking at him directly. “He doesn’t like when people touch what’s his.”
“What?”
Kervyn takes Tom’s hand and breaks his finger by yanking it backwards. Tom cries out and holds his hand. “Who the fuck are you?” he shouts.
“Oh, you didn’t know? This is Kervyn Milov. He’s my husband.”
“Did you come looking for my wife?” Kervyn asks Tom directly.
“No. No sir. I wasn’t looking for your wife?”
“Do you know Penny, he bumped into you on purpose. I was watching him.” Kervyn looks at Tom and takes him by the scruff of his neck, “Maybe we should have a conversation outside. Man to man.”
Tom whimpers and shakes his head. “Please. No.”
“Do you know who I am?” Kervyn asks.
“Penny’s husband.” Tom whimpers.
Kervyn chuckles. “Indeed. I am also a very scary beast, little Thomas.”
Kervyn slams Tom’s head into the bar, breaking his nose and dropping him to the floor. Kervyn straightens his jacket. “I’ll get rid of him, then we can have another drink.”
“Don’t hurt him anymore, my love. I go to kiss his jawline. “He’s pathetic and I have no more interest in him.” I look down at Tom and I give him the sweetest smile.
I watch as Tom is hauled to his feet. He’s begging for them not to hurt him.
Leon nods to me and leads Tom out of the club.
I take Kervyn’s hand and lead him upstairs to his office, suddenly very aroused by just how manly my husband is compared to a weakly like Thomas.
“Where are we off to?” He asks with a dark chuckle, but his hand is already groping my ass.
