“Sorry.” I took a swig from my beer. “Just saw someone that caught my eye.”
“Looking to get lucky tonight?” Tyler asked. “I’m sure it's been a while since you’ve gotten some action.” His head turned as he too caught sight of a pretty little thing. “Well, I think we’ll have plenty of time for catching up, but it isn’t every day that there’s this many babes in one room.” He clapped my shoulder. “Good luck out there.”
With that, he was gone, chasing after a perky blonde.
I remained at the bar and ordered myself another drink, eyes narrowing as I scanned the crowd. The girl in the midnight dress had disappeared. Should have jumped on her the second you saw her, came a voice at the back of my head. A girl like that – you can’t take your eyes off her, not even for a second.
With so many people at the party, I considered the possibility that I wouldn’t come across her a second time. No. I wouldn’t let that happen.
I abandoned my drink and stepped onto the dance floor. People stepped aside as I approached. Years of serving as a Marine had taught me how to command attention and it was certainly coming in handy now.
“Where do you think you’re going?” A petite redhead with fire in her eyes grabbed me by the arm and flashed a vixen smile. In any other instance, she would have intrigued me but tonight I had but one conquest.
“Sorry. Taken.” I shrugged her off and continued my search. Then I caught a glimpse of that shimmering blue fabric. There. My pulse quickened at the sight of her. She was right in the heart of the crowd, grinding on one of her girlfriends.
Fuck, I thought. Can this girl be any sexier?
I got my answer. Her eyes locked with mine. Her lips curved into a seductive smile as her eyes smoldered. Her hands ran across her body, inviting my mind to wander. Did this woman have any idea what she was doing to me? Her smile deepened, cutting right through me, and awaking the animal I had caged inside. Oh, she was taking the bull by the horns alright.
Pushing my way forward, I managed to get closer but not close enough. There was a wall of people in my way and they were just about impenetrable.
The girl looked amused, head cocked to the side, expression one of playful mischief. What’s the matter? Don’t you want me? I could almost see those thoughts shining out of her gorgeous eyes.
More than anything. And that instinct only festered when her fingers danced across the side of her neck – a neck that begged to be kissed – to be sucked on and marked. I wanted to sink my teeth into that delicate flesh and let the whole world know that she was mine.
She dropped down low, legs spread apart, and her ass hugged the fabric of her dress. It was completely out of this world. What proved to be the icing on the cake was the way she bit my lip. Fuck, I thought. This girl is playing right into my weaknesses. It was like she was inside my head, doing everything she needed to do to make me wild with desire.
And it was working. I had a hard-on that strained against my pants, throbbing, almost pulsing along with the music. Every second of watching her dirty dancing just made those confines even tighter. Hell, I would bet just about anything that I was already dripping precum.
She and her girlfriend got even closer, their bodies rubbing together, causing the hem of her dress to ride along her thigh, exposing more and more of her leg, until I was on the verge of seeing her panties. My cock twitched again, trying to imagine what she wore under that dress. Was it a slinky little thong buried between a couple of perfect cheeks? Or was it lace? Playful and delicate, and just the right stuff to rip right off her body? Thoughts tortured me but it was the good kind, the fucking kind I wanted to sink my teeth into.
I found an opening in the crowd. Watching from a distance had been fun and all, but if I didn’t take the place of her girlfriend and feel her body against mine, I was going to lose it. I wasn’t going to let anything get in my way. If this woman wanted me, she was going to get me and every last inch, too.
Once she was close enough, I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her close. Our lips came close, our breath mingling but if teasing was her game, then she had to know that it was a game played by two.
I spun her around, arms around her waist. Our bodies fell into place. With every movement of her hips, she felt my still hardening cock against her ass. It was a promise I intended to keep.
My hands replaced hers in roaming her body. The music was bumping, but I took my time. With a girl like this, you savor every moment.
“Do you know what you’ve been doing to me?” I whispered against her ear, my voice husky with desire. “You’re playing with fire, playing with me. I only hope that you can take the heat.” My lips grazed the side of her neck, not quite enough to satisfy her but enough to make her beg for more.
With a swing of her hips, she turned around, fingers pulling – hard – on the hair at the base of my neck. Her eyes met mine. We were both burning with lust. My hands fell to her ass, pulling her even closer because even locked hip to hip with this woman was not enough.
“I know exactly what I’m doing,” she answered, her lips once again curving into that seductive smile. “And I’m pretty happy with the results.” Her hand moved from my chest to the bulge in my pants, squeezing it until I nearly lost control right then and there. I growled as my cock hardened to an almost painful degree at her touch.
“What’s wrong?” she asked as she batted her eyelashes like she was this innocent little thing. But this girl was far from it. She was my dream girl come alive and it was time to make my fantasies into a reality.
But first, I needed to push her limits – to make her positively wild. I wanted her to soak through her panties – to drip on the floor with her desire for me.
“Absolutely nothing,” I answered. “Show me what you can do. Show me how bad you can really be.”
Chapter 3 (Molly)
Things were really heating up.
Cole had me in his arms like he had no intention of letting me go and trust me, with the way I was burning up, all I wanted was for him to get even closer – for him to finally use the cock he had been teasing me with. With the sort of dancing we were doing, I had felt his every inch against my thigh and my childhood crush was massive. I could only imagine how good it would feel to have him slip into other places – places that were already sopping wet and getting even wetter.
I bit my lip and looked up at him. That seemed to be the trigger that would set him off because his hand was on the back of my neck until our faces were mere inches apart. Caught in his stare, I forgot how to breathe. My already overworked heart kicked into double time. Our lips brushed with the gentleness of a feather. I closed my eyes, preparing for the sweet, sweet taste of the man I had waited almost ten years to love.
Just then, I was yanked away from my dream. Too dazed to protest, I was dragged away by my girlfriends. By the time I got my bearings, it was too late. I looked over my shoulder, but he was gone.
“What the hell,” I growled, pissed as I glared at the girls, my so-called friends who should have known better.
“We couldn’t let you have too much fun,” giggled Jacklyn, not seeming to be bothered by my glare. “Who was that guy, anyway? I’ve never seen you dance like that before. You two looked like you were about to have sex on the dancefloor.”
