throw me to the wolves

His voice filtered into her ears before she could recognize the rest of him, and her back straightened immediately. Something was different about him this time. It was the suit, Gin realized, and the expression on his face when he’d handed her the plate. With his hair done nicely and his tanned skin standing out against the black of his suit and no leather jacket in sight, she wasn’t surprised that she hadn’t recognized him.

What she hadn’t known, however, was his standing in the Silver Elite. They hadn’t done a lot of talking that night, more pre-occupied with taking each other’s clothes off as fast as possible than anything else, but irrationally she wished he’d managed to send the message that he was loaded as hell.

Now she was uncomfortable, less by his presence than by what he was saying to her. Coming to the party hadn’t been her decision at all, but rather a combination of her mother’s aim to please and her grandmother’s iron will. Even the dress had been bought without her consultation. She loved it, but that wasn’t the point. 

“Seems to be something else we have in common,” Gin said, annoyance already high with him. She didn’t even turn her head fully, instead glancing at him through the corner of her eye as she devoted most of her attention to the buffet, intent to fill her plate.

Roman was used to this kind of behavior from girls. Yes, it was sure his own fault that everything turned out against him but in the end, he would always win anyway. Somehow, girls liked this asshole nonsense and arrogant talk. They would end up having angry sex if there was a second chance given. Actually, if he was interested being more the case.

But this girl had left an impression. It wasn’t the sex itself --- although he couldn’t complain about it, but there was something else. The fact that she was annoyed at him now only added fuel to the fire; making him even more interested in a repeat of the night they shared before. Especially because they found themselves in such circles again. He wondered who she was and what she was doing here. But it could be that she was just being dragged along by a friend. Many people did that.

“Hmmm I see.” He mused, following her on each step while loading food on his plate. Taking a moment to move past her, but making sure his hand gripped her waist and brushed over the small of her back before reaching the other side of her face, whispering into her ear. “I wonder what else we have in common. Do you also like the thrill of fun in the bathroom at a party like this?” A smirk pulled up on his features before he took another step and moved forward towards the end of the buffet and away from her.

Growing up, parties had generally been a good time. Her high school had been easy to navigate, considering she’d thrown herself into all of the clubs and sports she could without putting too much on her plate. Friends had come in abundance, and life had always been full of people her age along with her mother, fun, full of love, without too much expectation. 

The Carroses were the opposite of that upbringing, which was why, Gin supposed, her parents had tried so hard to keep her sheltered from that life. They weren’t asking for too much, though, her grandparents, especially considering what they were giving her in return. She could very easily just survive the next four hours in this dress that was probably worth the same as a textbook and then just never see these people again. 

Until, of course, the next time one of these things was happening and her grandparents forced her to come. Clutching her phone tighter in her palm, Gin approached the buffet table. Someone was already there and had seen her coming, so all she had to do was take the proffered plate. 

“Oh! Thank you so much,” she said as she took it.

Ah yes. Yet again one of those parties where all the rich kids were coming together with their parents and other people Roman didn’t care about. He had been polite, introduced himself to everyone and shook hands before he chose the easy way over to the buffet and drinks, searching in the crowd of people for someone he knew --- and he actually didn’t mind being around.

Just when he was about to give up, the girl came straight to him. Did he even remember her name still? The memory was a blur, but he knew that face and those long legs --- eventually he would remember again once he talked to her. The plate was reached over in a nonchalant way, taking one for himself. He made sure to stay close to her as they started to fill them. Only then he cleared his throat, demanding her attention. Apparently she had either ignored him prior or not recognized him.

“Out of all places I really didn’t expect to see you here.” He stated, a grin forming on his face as he waited for her reaction.
