Chapter 1

Hannah

Me metí a duras penas en el vestido prestado de mi mejor amiga Emma Taylor, maldiciendo en silencio sus elecciones de moda mientras luchaba con los finos tirantes. El espejo reflejaba a una desconocida que parecía tener mucha más confianza que yo.

—¡Deja de moverte! Te ves increíble —declaró Emma, aplicándose otra capa de rímel en sus ya perfectas pestañas.

—Parezco que estoy audicionando para un reality show de citas —murmuré, tirando del escote pronunciado que parecía empeñado en mostrar atributos que prefería mantener privados—. Este vestido tiene más cortes que tela.

Emma puso los ojos en blanco.

—Ese es el punto, Han. Has estado enterrada en libros de texto durante meses. Una noche viéndote espectacular no te matará.

El saldo de mi cuenta bancaria apareció en mi mente, un patético número de dos dígitos que me había estado atormentando toda la semana. No debería estar saliendo esta noche, pero la celebración de cumpleaños de Sofía no era algo que pudiera perderme. Mis mejores amigas eran el único lujo que podía permitirme estos días.

—¿Michael vendrá esta noche? —pregunté, tratando de sonar casual mientras ajustaba el vestido por vigésima vez.

El reflejo de Emma me lanzó una sonrisa burlona.

—Dijo que estaba ocupado con algo de trabajo. ¿Por qué? ¿Planeas lucir tu nuevo look?

—¡No! Solo preguntaba —sentí mis mejillas calentarse—. Y esto no es mi look. Este es tu vestido que estoy usando en contra de mi mejor juicio.

—Me lo agradecerás después —Emma me guiñó un ojo, lanzándome su labial—. Ahora termina. El Uber llega en tres minutos.

Lo apliqué con manos temblorosas. El tono rojo profundo parecía completar mi transformación de estudiante de posgrado sobrecargada a... lo que fuera esto.

—¿Tres minutos? Necesito al menos diez para prepararme mentalmente para caminar en público así. —Revisé mi reflejo una última vez. El vestido abrazaba cada curva como si le pagaran por hacerlo.

Emma agarró su bolso.

—Te ves increíble. Deja de pensar tanto.

El viaje en Uber fue misericordiosamente corto. Sofía había elegido The Velvet Room, un pub de lujo que hacía que mi cuenta bancaria se estremeciera solo de ver su elegante exterior. Paredes de ladrillo expuesto, bombillas Edison y bartenders que probablemente tenían más educación formal que yo.

—¡Hannah! —chilló Sofía cuando entramos, corriendo hacia nosotras en un borrón de lentejuelas y perfume—. ¡Lo lograste! ¡Y wow, mírate!

Acepté su entusiasta abrazo.

—¡Feliz cumpleaños! Perdón por llegar tan tarde. Complicaciones con el vestuario.

—Valió la pena —susurró con un guiño antes de envolver a Emma en el abrazo—. Vamos, tenemos una mesa en el fondo. ¡Las bebidas están fluyendo!

Nos abrimos paso entre el abarrotado pub para encontrar a Valentina, Nora, Thomas y Andrew ya acomodados en un gran reservado. La mesa estaba llena de coloridos cócteles y pequeños platos de aperitivos sobrevalorados.

—Hannah Mitchell, ¿eres tú o Emma finalmente creó su ejército de clones? —Thomas levantó su vaso mientras me acercaba.

Me deslicé en el reservado, agradecida de estar sentada.

—Muy gracioso. Perdí una apuesta.

—¡No perdiste! —protestó Emma, acomodándose a mi lado—. Aceptaste voluntariamente.

—Bajo coacción —aclaré, alcanzando el agua sin tocar de Sofía—. Feliz cumpleaños, por cierto.

Sofía sonrió.

—¡Gracias! Y no te preocupes por las bebidas esta noche. Mis padres me enviaron dinero de cumpleaños, así que todo corre por mi cuenta.

Podría haberla besado.

—Eres un ángel.

Andrew me pasó un menú.

—Tienen estos cócteles ridículos con humo y fuego. Pedí algo llamado 'La Crisis Existencial' y venía con un pequeño barco de papel flotando encima.

Examiné el menú, levantando una ceja ante los pretenciosos nombres de los cócteles.

—Una 'Crisis Existencial' parece apropiada para mi situación actual.

—En realidad está bastante bueno —insistió Andrew—. El pequeño barco de papel representa tus esperanzas y sueños hundiéndose lentamente en el alcohol.

—Poético— resoplé. —¿Qué pasa si lo bebo demasiado rápido? ¿Significa que he ahogado mis ambiciones?

La mesa estalló en risas.

Sofía resplandecía de felicidad por su cumpleaños, y la cálida iluminación de The Velvet Room bañaba a todos en un brillo favorecedor. Incluso a mí, supuse, a juzgar por las segundas miradas que seguía captando.

—¡Por Sofía!— Thomas levantó su copa. —Que este año te traiga todo lo que mereces, que es solo lo mejor porque eres increíble.

Chocamos las copas, y tomé un sorbo de agua, esperando a que el mesero volviera para poder pedir algo con alcohol de verdad. Mis ojos vagaron por el abarrotado pub, observando la mezcla de profesionales relajándose después del trabajo y el público más joven vestido para impresionar.

Fue entonces cuando lo noté.

Estaba sentado en una mesa en la esquina con otros tres hombres en trajes caros, pero a diferencia de ellos, no estaba involucrado en la conversación. Su atención estaba fija directamente en mí. Cabello oscuro peinado hacia atrás de un rostro que parecía sacado de una pintura renacentista—todas líneas angulosas y perfecta simetría. Su traje parecía hecho a medida, abrazando unos hombros anchos que se estrechaban en una cintura delgada.

Rápidamente aparté la mirada, sintiendo el calor subir a mis mejillas. Cuando me atreví a mirar de nuevo, él seguía observando, con una esquina de su boca levantada en lo que podría haber sido diversión.

—Tierra llamando a Hannah— Valentina agitó su mano frente a mi cara. —¿Vas a pedir o qué?

Parpadeé, dándome cuenta de que el mesero estaba parado junto a nuestra mesa, con el bolígrafo listo. —¡Oh! Lo siento. Yo quiero...— escaneé el menú rápidamente. —El 'Midnight Confession', por favor.

—Oh, elección picante— bromeó Nora. —¿Planeas confesar algo esta noche?

—Solo mi amor eterno por quien inventó la pizza— contesté, tratando de no volver a mirar al hombre misterioso.

Mi bebida llegó—una oscura mezcla con un borde de algo que brillaba bajo las luces. Sofía insistió en tomar fotos grupales, lo que implicó mucho movimiento y poses antes de que volviéramos a la conversación.

—¿Les conté sobre el profesor que vino a clase con la camisa al revés la semana pasada?— Thomas comenzó una historia sobre percances académicos.

Nuestra mesa estalló en risas. Bebí mi trago, la mezcla dulce y picante calentando mi garganta. El borde brillante dejó un rastro de brillo en mis labios.

—¿Saben qué necesitamos?— anunció Sofía, poniéndose de pie de repente. —¡Bailar!

Mi estómago se hundió. —Oh no, yo no—

—¡Sí!— Emma aplaudió. —El DJ está poniendo algo decente por una vez.

Negué con la cabeza. —Realmente no puedo bailar con este vestido. Un movimiento en falso y causaré una escena.

Emma puso los ojos en blanco. —¡Olvídate del vestido! Hoy estás sexy y guapa, y es un crimen desperdiciarlo sentada en un reservado.

—Así es— asintió Sofía, ya balanceándose al ritmo. —La cumpleañera lo ordena.

—No puedo discutir con la cumpleañera— concedí, pero no hice ningún movimiento para levantarme.

Andrew salió del reservado. —Vamos, Hannah. Incluso yo voy a bailar, y tengo la coordinación de una jirafa recién nacida.

—Está bien— suspiré, —pero necesito terminar mi bebida primero. Para el valor.

—Dos minutos— Emma me señaló. —Luego volvemos para arrastrarte.

Vi a mis amigos dirigirse a la pista de baile cerca de la cabina del DJ. Sofía inmediatamente tomó el centro del escenario, sus lentejuelas captando la luz mientras se movía. Emma y Valentina la flanqueaban, mientras Thomas y Andrew intentaban lo que solo podía describir como movimientos entusiastas.

Tomé otro sorbo de mi bebida y miré alrededor del bar. El hombre misterioso ya no estaba en su mesa. Una sensación de decepción me invadió, lo cual era ridículo. ¿Qué había esperado? ¿Que viniera a presentarse?

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
