Alex was just still drunk enough to miss the tension run through Anthony.  The pleasing curves of the timeless beauty before him was always enough to distract him.  At least with no girlfriend, he was free to partake of the menu at last.  He suddenly felt more at ease.  More in his element.  Anthony was not what he expected and there was something about him that left Alex just a little off his game.<br/><br/>But Victoria!  Few could handle Victoria and yet he felt at ease as she cuddled up to him “Where did you pick him up darling, he's rather stunning in your suit.”  The whisper so close to his ear, he could feel the heated breath as it ran down his spine, cooling slowly.<br/><br/>Of course she wasn't cuddled up to him, but he will see it that way no matter what anyone were to tell him.  He turned his to lay his cheek against hers “I always keep my eyes open for the right investment, it is why you adore me so.”  His arm  holding her comfortably by his side and between him and Anthony.  He tries to shut that door before he has to admit it exists.  For some reason he could not fathom, that door would not shut.  If anything, the mere effort to close it pried it open a bit further.  “of course he looks stunning in my suit, I wouldn't have a 'partner' any other way, would I?”  There was some tease in the words.  Of course, he was unware that Anothony could hear the whispered words.<br/>
