Capítulo 20: Chapter Nineteen - When Fire Met Rain

I stared at my reflection as I tugged against the hem of my short Balmain dress. It was a fitted black leather dress with metallic gold embroidery that made it glisten like the night sky. It made me look both feminine and badass. It was perfect the perfect combination of sweet and sultry. After the last stunt that Killian pulled on me, I was eager to win the little game we had going on between us. I let my hair down in gentle, bold curls and made sure my eyes popped with the perfect smoky shadow. I looked confident, sexy, presentable, yet I couldn't quiet the butterflies that fluttered anxiously in my tummy.

I had a bad feeling deep down that I couldn't shake, like something terribly wrong would happen today. Try as I might, I couldn't shoo the feeling away. It was a corporate party at a nightclub. What's the worst that could happen? There were an infinite number of things that could go wrong tonight – I knew it.
