Dangerous Rock (Dangerous Noise 3)

But I want to have fun tonight.

No, I need to have fun tonight.

I can't be Bella Chase, failing law student, woman completely off track tonight. Or I'll…

No.

I'm not even thinking about that.

I press my panties between my palms. My gaze goes to Joel's eyes. They're green with a little grey. Or grey with a little green. Either way, they're gorgeous and they're filled with this mixture of delight and mischief.

I scoot close enough to press my panties into his palm. "Are we already going to… ahem." I motion to the club exit.

He laughs.

"What?" I pull my hands into my lap. "I… I've never had a one-night stand before."

"I can tell." He takes my panties and slides them into the front pocket of his jeans.

My glance is quick and focused. I can't tell if he's hard.

Okay. That's good. I don't normally think about whether or not guys are hard five minutes after meeting them.

I can do this.

I can be the woman who has fun tonight.

I have to.

My fingers curl around my drink. I take another long sip. It's not enough. My thoughts are still smacking together.

I finish my glass.

Joel's eyes meet mine. "We can take this slow."

"Not that slow."

His smile spreads to his ears. "Shit, we're in Vegas. There's no way to tell the time without checking my cell." He glances around the room. Sure enough, the walls are free of both clocks and windows. "Let's say it's ten."

I nod. "That sounds about right."

"That gives us twelve hours."

"You don't seem like the type who gets up early."

He laughs. "I don't?"

I nod.

I try to suck the last drop of gin from my glass, but the drink is all melting ice. I pop an ice cube in my mouth and suck hard.

Joel's eyes go to my mouth. His jaw falls ever so slightly.

His pupils dilate.

He really does want me.

The smoking hot bad boy wants me.
