Sensual Whispers: Tales Of Passion ( Smut Series)
The Cindrella ball 2
ronan needed another drink. He'd just finished his last one. He was halfway back to the bar when Joseph pulled him aside.
Joseph
Slow down before you embarrass yourself.
Ronan
I'm already embarrassed.
He wiped his sweaty face with the sleeve of his tux.
They were in the opera House which is filled with gray-haired men in tuxedos, middle-aged women in spangled dresses, and young people in waiter's uniforms.

Joseph brush ronan shoulder.
Joseph
Your mother would kill us stone dead if she saw you like this. How many have you had?

Joseph
Smile, shake hands, and collect checks. Think about the season.

Joseph patted him on the shoulder in an almost fatherly way and left. Ronan drooped over the railing again.
