I want to see you.
With Savvy, it was better to be direct. As direct as I could be without scaring her off.
I’m going to refresh in the change room for ten minutes.
You can refresh with me. I’m upstairs.
There was no response and my hand tightened on my phone, but it was the movement by the stairs that caught my attention and had my heart slamming into my chest like some fuckin’ teenager seeing the hot girl walking down the school hallway.
Fuck.
I’d always thought I never dated because of what happened when I’d kissed Keeva Campbell. I’d let Emmitt walk home by himself when I knew the kids teased him. But at the time, kissing a girl became more important.
As Savvy walked toward me, I realized it wasn’t that. It was because I never wanted to date anyone else.
Just her.
But I kept myself from her. The one girl who made it okay to forgive myself for what happened to my brother.
Her skin was flushed, the blue lights in the club bouncing off the glistening of sweat on her bare neck. A neck I couldn’t wait to taste and nip and run my tongue across.
I tossed my phone on the glass table in front of me and sat back on the leather couch, the material scrunching.
Then I watched as she walked toward me. Seductive. Slow and sexy as hell, yet completely unaware of it. Her hair was loose, just the way I liked it. It hung over her right shoulder and breast.
She approached me and her chest rose and fell with quickened breath.
My cock was rock-hard, and it took a fuck of a lot to stay where I was and not grab her and take her into the office so I could tear off her clothes and fuck her on the desk.
She frowned as she stopped in front of me. “Are you okay?”
Fuck no. I was sitting in a club I’d bought in order to hurt my father’s business with a girl I wanted, but couldn’t have. At least not yet.
“Come here, orchid.” I held out my hand.
She hesitated, before placing her warm hand in mine. I tugged her forward until she stood between my legs. “I don’t have long.”
“Then we better make the best of it. Would you like some water?”
“No. Thanks.”
I took another second to admire her standing between my legs before I urged her down to straddle me.
“What are you doing?” she asked, stiff and uncertain as I positioned her, so her thighs were on either side of me.
“Being with my girl on her break,” I replied.
Her chest rose and fell erratically. “Here? Now?”
I smirked. “Where else? Would you prefer somewhere more public than this?” I sure as hell didn’t. I wanted her in my bed without anyone knowing my fuckin’ business.
“No, it’s just….”
It was cute she didn’t know where to put her hands, so I took them and placed them on my chest. Maybe not the smartest idea considering my cock hurt like hell, and all I could think about was kissing her slightly parted lips.
I raised my brows. “Just?”
“Unprofessional.”
I chuckled. “This is a club. It’s midnight and you’re dating me.”
“I already have a bad rep, Killian.”
And I was going to do something about that. “No one will talk bad about you dating me, Savvy. Fuck, I’d never allow it.” And the media treated me with respect because I did them. And if anyone treated Savvy with anything but respect, they wouldn’t like what happened.
“Relax, baby,” I whispered as she sat tensely on top of me. I released her wrists and settled my hands on her thighs that were covered in tight black pants. Her top was white, beaded with spaghetti straps and a snug bodice. Classy and sexy as hell.
I slowly slid my hands down her thighs to her knees and back again. Her fingers curled into my dress shirt, and I inwardly smiled.
“How do you expect me to relax when you touch me like that?” she whispered.
At least she was admitting my touch did something to her. I just needed her to admit she wanted me.
“You piece of shit!”
My hands stilled on Savvy’s thighs, and I stiffened at the familiar voice behind me. Savvy looked over her shoulder, and her hands released my shirt as she scrambled off my lap.
“Seamus. Now, this is a surprise,” I managed to ground out.
“Kite,” Luke said, coming up behind my father. He was letting me know, he’d escort him out with one word from me.
But this conversation was bound to happen. I just didn’t like it being done in front of Savvy. I didn’t want her tainted by his cruelty.
He glanced at Savvy, his eyes trailing down the front of her. I clenched my jaw, standing to block his view of her. “Fucking the lowlife dancers, Kill?”
I heard Savvy’s sharp inhale and Luke’s grunt as he stepped toward my father. I shook my head at him.
