Penny grabbed her hands. “Me? What are you doing here?”
“I asked first.” Suzy shifted her gaze higher, as a tall, handsome man stepped up beside her friend. “Don’t tell me,” she said dryly. “Let me guess. The Cyber Cowboy is a major contributor.”
Grinning, Erik Thompson, Penny’s new husband and the owner of Cyber Cowboy International, looped an around his wife’s waist. “Okay, I won’t tell you.” He bent to drop a kiss on Suzy’s cheek, then straightened, choking on a laugh as he got a good look at her attire. “I thought girls like you hung out on street corners.”
Batting her eyelashes, Suzy sidled up to him and dragged a finger down the front of his tuxedo shirt. “Why, when all the johns with money are right in here?”
Penny slapped her hand away. “Watch it, sister. He’s taken.”
Laughing, Suzy fluffed her hair. “That’s the kind of man I like best.”
“I’ll have to remember that.”
Having forgotten all about Gil, Suzy shot him a frown as he joined them. “Trust me. It wouldn’t help your case any.”
Chuckling, Erik stuck out a hand. “Hello, Governor. It’s a pleasure to see you again.”
“Good to see you, too,” Gil returned, then smiled at Penny as he caught her hand between his. “And you must be the woman who knocked Erik off the Most Eligible Bachelor List.” He winked at Erik in approval. “An easy fall to take, when a man has a woman as pretty as this one to come home to.”
Rolling her eyes, Suzy grabbed Gil by the sleeve. “Come on, Governor Smooth, before I’m forced to put on boots to wade through all this BS. Call me, Penny!” she tossed over her shoulder as she dragged Gil away.
When they reached the entrance, a man stepped forward, obviously one of the hosts for the evening.
“You’re not leaving so soon, are you, Governor?”
“Not just yet. I thought I’d show my friend here some of the rooms in the new wing.”
The man spread an arm in welcome. “Please, be our guests.”
With a nod of thanks, Gil led Suzy to a bank of elevators. Once inside and the doors had closed, he dropped to a knee, and reached for her foot.
Startled, she tried to pull away. “What are you doing!”
He managed to slip off the left shoe, then glanced up at her. “Taking off your shoes.”
He shifted to reach for the other, and she shoved at his head, tottering as she tried in vain to angle her foot out of his reach. “If I wanted my shoes off, I’d have taken them off myself.”
