“Oh my,” I breathed out as I watched Grayson begin dancing. His hips moved in a graceful sexy way as he moved to the beat of the song. My mouth went dry as I thought of the things I wanted him to do to me. The way he moved had my heart racing as I forced myself to remember to breathe.
I couldn’t pull my eyes off him as he captured his audience with his hotter-than-hot moves . . . and that smile. He quickly unbuttoned his shirt as the crowd went wild.
My eyes scanned the sea of women and my heart stopped when I saw her.
Claire.
She stood right up at the front, waving a one hundred dollar bill around as Grayson slid across the floor, making some pretty erotic moves with his hips as women threw money onto the stage. Claire tried to reach over and touch Grayson but a security guy pulled her back.
“You bitch,” I whispered as I balled my fists together.
I jumped when I saw Grayson in front of me. He pulled me further out onto the stage as the second chorus started. His hands moved over my body when he dropped to his knees as women screamed out louder. I quickly forgot all about Claire and looked down at the man I was falling for hard and fast while he smiled up at me. With a sexy wink, he threw my leg over his shoulder as he lifted me up and carried me over to the chair.
The words to the song rang so true at that very moment, as Grayson set me down.
“Do that to me next!” someone screamed.
My mind was running wild as Grayson sat down on me and moved his hips in the most erotic way. My eyes widened with delight. My hands went to touch him before he grabbed them and shook his head. “Friends only tonight, baby,” he shouted over the music as I held my hands up like I was in a no-touch zone.
Grayson jumped back and danced around me as dollar bills flew everywhere. I took the chance at peeking over to Claire. I could practically see the steam coming from her ears as she stared me down. Pulling my eyes from her, I watched Grayson do his thing while an extended version of the song continued to play.
Grayson would get close to the crowd, but stop out of their reach to tease them before he would turn his attention back on me.
Grayson picked me up as I wrapped my legs around him while he dipped me back as we danced together in the most sensual way possible. I could feel his hard on pressing into me as he moved his body against mine. Setting me back down in the chair, he climbed on me again and pushed down as I sucked in a breath of air. Grayson laughed and then placed his hands on the sides of my face as he looked into my eyes.
Jesus these feelings . . . what is happening to me?
It was like a roller coaster of emotions that I never wanted to get off of. His lips brushed lightly across mine as he slipped his hand into my hair and deepened the kiss. I wasn’t sure how long he kissed me for after the song ended, all I knew was I heard lots of women screaming and then Diana talking.
“Oh, ladies aren’t we all very jealous of Grayson’s girlfriend, Meagan. She got all the attention tonight, didn’t she?”
Grayson and I laughed against each other’s lips as he pulled back and looked at me. “I think I’m ready to get out of here.”
Rolling my eyes, I nodded. “You’re gonna have to sneak out the back!”
Grayson stood up as he reached down for his shirt and put it back on as I stood up. I could feel her stare as I looked down and saw Claire shooting daggers at me.
I wasn’t sure why I said it, but I regretted it the moment it slipped from my lips. “Your friend Claire is here.”
Grayson turned and looked directly at Claire who smiled and waved. I quickly turned and started toward the side of the stage that led to the back. Grayson was right beside me within seconds as he took my hand and led me straight toward the back door.
The moment the cold air hit my face, I sucked in a deep breath. I hated that she still had some sort of control over my actions.
“Tell me how you know Claire,” he said as he looked at me with a concerned face.
Trying to get my senses straight, I stalled with a question. “What?”
“I never said what her name was. You knew back in Texas her name was Claire. How do you know her?”
Something came over me and I pulled away from him in anger. “Why haven’t you asked her?”
Grayson’s eyes softened as he placed his hands on my arms. “Because I’m asking you. The first time you saw us that day, when we were at lunch, I saw your face, Meagan. Please talk to me, baby.”
Swallowing hard, I looked away. Grayson placed his finger on my chin and pulled my eyes back to him. “Meg?”
“I know her from Baylor.”
A look of recognition passed over Grayson’s face. “Shit, that’s right she mentioned graduating from there. Damn it, I didn’t put two and two together.”
