I pull out my phone and turn on some music. She blushes but puts down her purse. She starts to lose her balance, so I take her hand and steady her as the music fills the room. Letting go of it, she slowly sways her hips, and my point is becoming abundantly clear. The hem rides up, revealing inch after inch of her sleek, creamy thighs.
My hands find their way to the hem of her supposed dress. “See, baby? I can’t let you go out there to shake your sexy ass for the crowd. I’d kill someone.”
A gasp escapes her lips as I draw her in, pulling her against my body. “I’d rather spend the night exploring every inch of you than going to jail.”
“Then you better get started. The sun will be up in a few hours.”
“Well, I’m going to have to take you to my bed, my sweet little vamp, and feast on your pussy.”
“Oh my goodness,” she moans out.
“Oh, no. We’re only going to be bad tonight.”
Chapter Six
Lena
What am I doing? I want him so much I’m willing to let him seduce me on the tiny sofa—a man in a Dracula costume. Granted, he’s in one hell of a sexy costume that matches mine a little. I look like his bride. My pussy gushes at that idea. I’m shocked by how horny I am, and I need a moment to process this. I can’t give up my virginity on a sofa in the back of a bar with an audience out in the hall.
I gently tug on his hair and pant out, “Stop. We need to stop.” He nods his head, dragging his face off my neck and resting his forehead to mine. His breathing is heavier than mine. Seeing the lust and desire in his eyes only makes him sexier.
“You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” His apology is so sincere that my heart melts a little more. He’s winning me over and hardly trying. “Fuck, you’re making me lose my mind.” I hear the regret in his voice, and although I should be bothered by it, I stopped us because I felt the same way.
“Same here,” I confess, running my hands over his chest and feeling the smoothness of his white dress shirt.
“I still have to close up the bar. I’m sorry, but I can’t let you go out there dressed like that.”
I’m not even going to argue with him about it because I know this dress is too damn short. “My clothes are in my roommate’s car. I can grab them.”
“Let me grab them for you. I won’t be long. I promise.”
“I’ll be waiting,” I add, tossing him a wink.
He freezes and tilts his head, asking with sincerity, “Do you mean that?”
“Yes.”
He drops down onto his knees and steals a deep kiss. “I didn’t know you’d be here and yet, here you are.” Then he’s up on his feet and gone.
While I wait for his return, I look at my phone. I see that he was serious about calling Merrick. It’s crazy, but I’m glad he did. I ought to kick Briana for giving him my number. I scroll through my phone, trying to keep busy. He’s still not back, and it’s been fifteen minutes. I’m about to go out and get him when the door opens. “I thought you were staying put?”
“I thought you’d be right back.”
“Touché,” he growls.
“Sorry. I had to find the two of them. They were in the car.” He rolls his eyes.
“So you saw her naked?” I don’t know why I ask. I’m lying because I know exactly why I ask. I’m jealous as hell.
“No. I didn’t see her naked. My cousin hadn’t gotten that far yet. Besides, I wasn’t interested in anything other than your bag.” I tilt my head, smiling at him for trying to ease my insane jealousy, accidentally revealing my missing patch of hair and scar. “Hey, what happened here?” He runs his hand over my cheek, his thumb brushing back the hair past my ear. His fingers get close to my wound, but he’s careful not to touch it. I worry that he’s going to be disgusted, but all I see in his eyes is concern.
“I had an accident.”
“When? Are you okay?” The sound of his fear and pain cause my heart to melt.
I cup his face with my hands and say, “I’m here, aren’t I?”
“Yes, I suppose that’s true, but I don’t like that you got hurt. I wasn’t there to protect you.” The conviction in his voice tells me that he honestly feels partly responsible even though we just met.
“Thanks, Everett, but you better get going before someone comes in here this time.”
“Fine.” He rubs my arms and looks deeply into my eyes. “But you are okay?”
I give him a thumbs up and say, “Okay. I’ll meet you at the bar in a few.”
