Finley (Decoy Dynasty #1)
Page 23
“Get off me!” I wriggle, trying to get myself free and Marcus just sneers in my face.
“Do you know how much money you have made me these past few months?” He dares to gloat. “You stupid bitch, do you really think I’m going to let you go to someone else?”
“You don’t have a choice.” I growl in his face.
Marcus has the nerve to press himself up against me and I turn my face to the side, not wanting to be so close to his mouth. “You’ve always played hard to get.”
“Get the fuck off me!” I yell.
“What’s going on?” We suddenly hear as the door props open and in pops Jackie’s head around the door.
Marcus snaps his head towards her, but he still has a grip on me so I take my advantage and lift my knee, landing it between his legs and hitting my target.
“Fuck!” He groans, letting going of me and grabbing his crotch.
Jackie’s eyes widen as Marcus lowers himself to the ground, clutching at his tiny dick. I step around him and approach Jackie. “Are you ok?” She asks quietly.
“I am now, thanks.” I smile towards her.
“I heard him shouting, and I saw him grabbing you.” She speaks quickly as she watched Marcus begin to get himself together on the floor.
“You saw him?” I ask, and Jackie nods.
“I installed a secret camera in here.” She points to a framed photo on the opposite wall and in the corner is a tiny black GoPro. “I was suspicious of him and installed it for safety.”
I’m stunned. “Great idea.”
“You’ll regret this.” Marcus groans.
Jackie gets out her mobile. “Shut up, I’m calling the Police and telling them exactly what you’re like.”
I can’t help but giggle as Jackie steps outside the room to talk to the police. “Looks like I’m rid of you just like I wanted.” I smile at him. “And I didn’t have to do anything, your usual corruptive antics has gotten you in trouble Marcus, I’ll be glad if you never manage anyone again.”
“You owe me.” He snaps from the floor.
“No, I don’t.” I shake my head as Jackie steps back into the room. I decide to send Finley a quick text.
Me: Drama at my managers office x
“They’re on their way.” Jackie announces, and I tuck my phone back into my handbag.
“Great.” I smile and Jackie joins me, Marcus doesn’t look too happy though.
It only takes the police a couple of minutes to arrive and I’m glad, because Marcus began to pace and shoot Jackie and me glares. I thought he was going to make a run for it, and I think Marcus was tempted to but the police got here on time. Marcus begins to shout his argument as soon as they enter, and I keep quiet, waiting for them to ask me. The policemen aren’t fooled and can see past him, one of them turns to me, while the other watches over Marcus.
“What’s happened?” He asks.
“I came to visit my manager,” I begin, but Marcus interrupts.
“To tell me she’s stabbed me in the back!” Marcus yells and the police officer shuts him up.
“Carry on please.” The officer smiles at me.
“I came to tell him that I will be travelling on Lunacy’s private plane, and Marcus didn’t like it.”
“Did he hurt you?” He asks and I look down at my wrists, but loud footsteps echo in the hall and we all turn to see who it is. Suddenly, Finley is here and he’s not alone. Jax, Rory and Noah are here too!
“What are you doing here?” I ask them.
Finley comes rushing up to me. “Do you ever answer your phone?”
“What?” I ask as he crushes me to his chest.
“I’ve been calling over and over.” Finley sighs, letting me go.
“He’s been panicking.” Noah fills in and Jax and Rory nod their agreement.
Finley looks down at my wrists, seeing the red marks I’ve just noticed myself. “The fuck?”
“Sir,” The police officer steps in. “I need to take Miss James’ statement.”
“Statement?” Echo’s Jax.
“Oh here’s the boyfriend.” Marcus sneers and Finley is immediately pissed. I place a hand on his arm, and shake my head.
“Don’t.” I whisper and then turn back to the officer. “Marcus became angry, and he stopped me from getting out of my chair and then when I stood up, telling him I don’t want him as my manager anymore, he grabbed me and held me against the wall.”
“That’s when I came in.” Jackie stands beside me, looking a little alarmed and the sudden amount of people here.
“He was saying inappropriate things and he began to press himself against me, so I knee’d him in the balls.” I smirk, and I’m pretty certain I see the police men share a teeny smirk too.
“She’s lying!” Screams Marcus. “She’s a slut and will say anything.”
“Watch your fucking mouth!” Finley growls and I grab hold of his hand.
“I want to make sure this man never manages another person.” I declare. “He’s inappropriate every single time I see or talk with him.”
“I have this all on record.” Jackie adds. “He was once a little forward with me when I had to bring him some files, and my sister recommended I secretly install a camera as evidence, if he ever did anything again.”
“That’s illegal!” Shouts Marcus, but we all ignore him.
“I will need access to that camera.” The officer continues and Jackie nods.
The police take Marcus with them, and he makes it very clear he’s not happy.
“Shut the fuck up.” Rory scowls at him, and Marcus is smart to do as he says. Jax pulls his son back as the officers warn Rory not to get involved. Finley now has his arms around me and Jax looks at us.
“You will never have that man as your manager again.” Jax orders.
“Why did you call the police first?” Whines Noah. “We could have taken care of him.”
“Noah.” Jax warns him, and we all walk out together. Jackie is at the reception desk, assisting the police men with the camera feed as our evidence.
“I’m proud of you.” Finley says as we stand alone, the others are walking towards Jax’s car.
“I didn’t do anything.” I laugh.
“You came here to let him know you weren’t taking his crap anymore.” He grins. “You stood up for yourself.”
“I realised that I deserved better.” I grin.
“You do.” Finley nods, leaning in close and giving me the sweetest kiss. “Now, let’s get ready for our flight.”
It’s the week of the music awards and our plane is just about to land and I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. This is one of the biggest things I’ve done in my career. Jax made sure we travelled in style on D Records private plane and I’ve never experienced anything like it before. It had two bedrooms, with sofas and everything!
“You ready?” Finley asks as we land.
“As I’ll ever be.” I shrug, holding his hand as we exit the plane and jump straight into a waiting car. Liam and Caden join us, but Liam looks half asleep as he’s just woken up from his nap. I know he’s still gutted Cassie couldn’t come with us, I am too but Cassie loves her work just as much as Liam loves his.
We’re taken to the hotel we will be staying at, the paps are all waiting outside but I’m glad the hotel has their own security and as well as our bodyguards, between them they create a clean pathway for us. The flashes from the cameras nearly blind me but I carry on walking forward until we’re in the privacy of the hotel. Our bags are brought in after and we’re shown up to our rooms. Caden and Liam are sharing a suite and so are me and Finley.
“Don’t have too much fun.” Caden winks before disappearing into the door opposite ours.
I laugh as I follow Finley into the suite. “You hungry?” He asks as I take a look around.
“Starving.” I sit on the edge of the bed. This place is beautiful.
“Good, because I’ve booked us dinner, so get glammed up.” Finley opens up t
he suitcase, beginning to unpack. “Hurry up.”
“How long do I have?” I ask, worrying that I won’t be able to make myself pretty enough after such a long flight.
Finley glances down at his watch. “We’re leaving in thirty minutes.”
“Is this a posh place?” I ask and Finley nods.
“Wear a sexy dress.” He winks.
Grace and Cassie made sure I brought enough dresses for each day, just in case nights like this happened, so I know I’m well prepared. I stand beside Finley, getting my dresses out one by one and hanging them up. I then unzip my bag, getting out my hair and make-up supplies. The first thing I do is to create a slick bun and then reapply my make-up, adding more eyeliner and some lipstick this time. Finley is already dressed and waiting by this point and I look at the dresses I have hung up, wondering which one to wear.
“It’s gotta be the red.” Finley suggests.
“Oh really?” I finger the red dress, it’s a figure hugging number that I know will leave Finley craving me all night long. So I take it from the hanger and slip into it, matching it with my black heels and black clutch bag and I’m all set to go.
Finley whistles as I step out the bedroom. “I’m a lucky man.”
“Yes you are.” I poke him as I make my way to the door.
Finley smirks as he gets out his phone, alerting our security that we’re on our way down. We walk hand in hand as we ride the elevator. “You seriously look hot.”
“Thanks.” I survey Finley in all his dark clothing. He loves the colour black and if I didn’t think he looked so sexy in the colour, I would order him to buy more colours. “You look sexy yourself.”
When the elevator doors open, Finley grips my hand tight and leads me outside to the waiting car. His bodyguard, Dave, holds the door open for us and I quickly jump in, Finley following behind.
“Paparazzi is going to be crazy here.” Finley sighs. “Especially with the awards.”
“Grace warned me.”
“Are you nervous for Saturday night?” He asks.
“Yes and no. It’s a huge event, but I love performing and the song is amazing, so I’m more excited.”
“You better win Best Newcomer or I’m going to kick off.” He frowns and I can’t help but laugh.
We pull up at the restaurant Finley has reserved a table at and there’s already a crew of paparazzi waiting. I look to Finley in question. “This place is a celeb hotspot, especially when award shows are on but the food is amazing here and I wanted to show you off.”
I lean forward and kiss him, just before the door opens and the flash from cameras begin. “Lead the way Mr Parker.”
The next morning, I’m watching TV in bed. I discovered last night, whilst a little tipsy that it pops out from the bottom of the bed. Finley is in the shower while I sip on a cup of tea. My dress is thrown onto the floor, my heels poorly lined up next to it and my bag is on the table in the hall. Yes you heard me correctly, there’s a hall in our hotel suite.
Last night was amazing, the restaurant was top class and the food was delicious but what made the night was Finley. He gave me a great first night in New York and my food wasn’t my only treat. When we got back to our room, Finley made sure to give me a great time in bed and I did, three times over. Honestly, that man has a crazy amount of stamina.
As I’m sipping on my tea, listening to Finley singing in the shower, a celeb gossip advert pops up.
“Hey everyone, this is Celeb News and I’m Carrie!” She greets. “Now, the preparations for the Music Awards are well and truly on their way, and the celebrities are all arriving in New York and some of those celebrities are Finley Parker and his thought to be girlfriend, Riley James.” A photo flashes up of Finley and me getting off the private plane yesterday. Caden and Liam walking at the side of me. “Now, there’s always been some guessing whether these two are actually dating, but they could just have a tight friendship after working so closely on the songs for Lunacy’s album however, after photos popped up of Finley in a intimate position with the girl we now know is socialite , Sky Harold, we thought the new romance was already over.” Carrie, the presenter pouts. “But don’t worry guys! Riley assured us all that things are only just beginning for the young couple by sharing some snapchats and Insta photos for us all to enjoy.” And the very photos flash up on screen. “It seems the two of them are ignoring the tantrums of jealousy and having a good time in New York.” Paparazzi snaps show of us last night. “Here at Celeb News HQ, we’re happy to see them together and wish them all the luck at the music awards this Saturday.”
The two minute clip has me feeling good inside and I’m a little more relieved for the awards. Especially the red carpet entry because I was having big worries about all the questions that will be thrown at us. They still will be, but at least I know the fans and even others in the industry have my back.
As soon as Finley is out of the shower, I tell him what I just saw on the TV and then jump in myself. I let the hot water trickle through my hair and flow down my back, closing my eyes and sighing out loud. Hands wrap around me from behind and I jump.
“Sorry.” Finley laughs. “Knowing you were in here wet and naked, I couldn’t help myself.”
I lean my head back against his chest and let Finley play with my breasts. Groaning when he begins to let his hands slide down my body and cup my pussy. A finger slips inside and he teases me beautifully. My moans echo through the room so loudly that I’m almost scared the guys can hear in their own room, across the hall. As soon as Finley brings me to my orgasm, I’m left sleepy and weak so he takes care of me, washing my hair and body. He wraps me in a fluffy white towel and I’m disappointed when he wraps a towel around his waist. Finley laughs at my pout. “Relax, I’ll let you suck my cock later.”
“Oh really?” I laugh, even though I was imagining doing just that.
Finley closes his eyes and nods. “As much as I want you on your knees in front of me, with my cock rubbin’ on those gorgeous lips of yours.” His thumb softly touches my bottom lip. “We have to get to rehearsal.”
I pout and drop my towel. “Are you sure?”
“Fuck.” Finley growls
I slowly approach him, reaching out for his towel to remove it from him and I’m happy to see how hard he is for me.
“I guess we can be a little late.” Finley shrugs as I slowly sink to my knees and lick the tip of his cock.
Rehearsal went amazingly yesterday and practicing the performance in an empty venue was weird, but exciting all at the same time. All morning I’ve been nervous as hell but Finley has tried his best to keep me calm. He even had a beautician come to the hotel suite to pamper me. How can I not love a guy who does that for me?
Finley, Caden and Liam were all hanging around as I was having my hair and make-up done. They found it a little weird, as they’ve never had to sit through hair and make-up before a gig ever before, but they were good boys. I decided to have my hair down and in lose waves but my make-up dark with plenty of eyeliner and mascara. I told Finley to get ready with Caden and Liam, so I could surprise him with my outfit for the night, and he put up a bit of a fight. Eventually, he gave in but he didn’t go happily. Is it weird that I enjoyed seeing him sulk when I watched him leave?
The truth is, I’m a little nervous about the dress that I’m going to wear and I wanted a few minutes alone to look at myself. Grace and Cassie thought that I looked great, ‘stunning’ was the word they used. I zip open the white dress cover that my outfit has been safely stored in and stare at the beautiful colours, feeling the silky fabric. My dress is not a dress exactly, as it’s in two parts. A white lace top, which covers my arms and scoops over my breasts that I know will tease Finley. The bottom half is the most gorgeous shade of blue I’ve ever seen, it rests where my waist curves in and puffs out until it touches the floor. Between the white lace top and the long blue puffy skirt a part of my stomach is on show. I have on white heels to match my top, and I twirl as I look in the mir
ror.
“You look beautiful Riley.” I jump when I hear Finley’s voice.
“I told you to wait!” I complain.
“I’ve been waiting for ages, if I wait any fucking longer, we’re gonna be late.” He laughs.
I glance at the time and see he’s right, we need to be on time too, seeing as though we’re opening up the awards. I glance down at myself, messing with my skirt and Finley steps closer.
“Do I look ok?” I ask him.
“Riley, you look fucking gorgeous.” Finley growls, trailing his fingers along my exposed chest.
“Well don’t you look sexy?” Caden announces as him and Liam appear in the doorway.
“Thank you Cade.” I giggle.
The both of them look great, in their usual black jeans and black shirt, only this time their black blazer jackets make them look smarter than their usual dress sense.
“You don’t look too bad yourself.” I reply, turning to Finley and becoming a little breathless. When he first walked in here, I was more concerned with how I looked and what Finley thought of me to take notice, but I now I see him and fuck me, he looks sexy. Just like Caden and Liam, Finley is in all black but Finley is wearing a white shirt which makes him stand out a little. Fuck, I could jump him right now and get him naked, he looks too good.
“Fin.” I reach for him and he smirks at me.
“Yeah darlin’ I know, you want me naked.”
After nearly spoiling my make up because Finley has me in tears from laughing so hard, the four of us leave for the red carpet in a black out limo. I begin to tap my nails on my knee and click my heels on the floor when Finley reaches for me. “You’re gonna be fine.”
I take a deep breath and calm myself. Liam scoots up to the driver and demands to play some tunes and as we sing and dance, I start to relax. We round the corner and I see the bright lights and camera flashes. There’s a huge crowd of people gathered around either side of the red carpet and when the door is opened, the loud cheering enters the limo. Liam gets out first, and as the crowd spot who he is, the cheering gets even louder. Caden follows, and then I’m about to get out but Finley stops me.
