“You want me, Devin?”
His glare made me want to squeeze my thighs together. I challenged
his words on purpose, wanting to get a rise out of him. I wanted to rattle
his cage, tempt the beast that lay beneath the swagger. I didn’t want to be
the only one who felt something.
“I know what I said, Alexia.” His tone came with a force and depth that
threatened to have me swoon on the spot. “I didn’t stutter. I want you and
the girls to be our guests.”
I stared into his eyes, trying to find any reason to deny his request. He
never once looked away, meeting my inquisitive gaze with one of his
own. Everything else seemed to fade to black, leaving us in this space,
wondering who would blink first. I almost dared anyone to try to separate
us in that moment. There would be consequences.
I didn’t care if anyone watched this dance. We could do this all night
for all I cared. I was on top of the world after tonight’s performance, and
this would be the cherry on top of one of the sexiest nights of my life.
His eyes softened, almost begging me to say yes. Maybe he isn’t as
bullet-proof as I thought. “I don’t know, D. I’m tempted, but I still don’t
know if I want to go. Persuade me.”
His hands wrapped around my waist, pulling me into him. His fingers
interlocked at the small of my back, teasing below the top of my panty
line. His hands felt so good against my body that I didn’t know whether I
wanted him to take them off me or explore more intimate areas.
“Say yes, please? Say you’ll be our guests. It would mean a lot to me
if you say yes. Say yes.”
I wanted to do more than say yes. I wanted to kiss him so badly my
body trembled. I needed to purge, and he was the perfect outlet to exorcise
some demons lurking deep within my core. The dam was ready to burst,
but I had to do something to keep it together. The way his hands caressed
me, resistance was futile.
He wouldn’t release his hold on me, and I didn’t want him to, either.
Damn. Now I knew I was in trouble, only this time, I welcomed it with
every fiber of my being.
