look that was surely reflected in my own. It was simply the
most erotic dance of my life.
Maya leaned forward to whisper in my ear. “I have a
confession. I’ve been thinking about you too.”
Surprised, I said, “Have you now?” When she nodded, I said.
“All good things, I hope.”
She looked down before looking back up with a mischievous
look. “All good. And maybe a little bad. Or just naughty.”
Good God, did she know the effect those words just had on
me?
She wrapped her arms around my neck, entwining them around
me like a gorgeous serpent. Just the feel of her arms around me was enough to
make me want to moan.
“A naughty girl. Just what I like. And one who can dance as
sexy as you.”
“I dance sexy?” she asked, a confused look taking over the
naughty glint.
“Almost too much for a red-blooded man to bear,” I said.
While we danced with our eyes still locked, I was painfully
aware of my growing erection just centimeters away from her luscious body. How
I wanted to press myself against her, into her. People around us be damned. I
wanted to throw her onto the floor and take her then and there.
No. I wanted to take my time with her. Take her down to my
lab, explore every inch of her body.
I glanced down at her body, which was a mistake. Her breasts
were pushed up against the lace bodice and at my angle, I could see them at a
great advantage. A deep groan escaped involuntarily from my lips. Luckily, it
was drowned out by the song.
My eyes moved back up to her face. She was wearing such
spiked heels that her face was mere inches away from mine. And her lips. She
had painted them a sensual red. Now I couldn’t take my eyes off her lips.
Then she licked them. Whether intentional or not, I don’t
know.
But I didn’t stand a chance.
I didn’t care who was around. I didn’t care that I owned
this damn club and had employees here working for me.
I pulled her closer to me, our bodies pressed up against
each other.
God, how I wanted to kiss her. I leaned in closer,
shortening the space between. Our lips barely inches apart.
Chapter Three
Maya
Holy crap!
He was so close, so enticingly close, that I could barely
think.
My body ached to be closer to him as I moved with the music
that penetrated my senses from all angles. My brain knew there were dozens of
dancing bodies surrounding us, but I couldn’t see them, so caught up in my need
for Tristan. My fantasy of a similar situation popped into my mind. Funny how
my fantasy didn’t prepare me for how you could want someone so much that you
didn’t give a flying fuck who was around you.
Tristan’s hands moved down to my lower back, hesitating. I
pressed my body against him, egging him on. When I felt his erection press
against me, I gasped softly. His need for me was just as clear. He ran his
hands down over my ass and pulled me in even closer.
I ran a hand through his dark, tousled hair while my other
ran down his back. As our hands explored each other’s bodies, I thought he
might pick me up any second. I’d probably wrap my legs around him, if the dress
allowed. I had all but forgotten that we were in a public place, the dance
floor for his club, actually, so enraptured by my want for him. Tristan came to
his senses before I did.
He pulled back and looked in my eyes. “Damn, I want you,
Maya, but—not yet.”
I slowly opened my eyes from their half-hooded state and
tried to locate the part of my brain that controlled speech.
“What is it?” I asked.
“There are other matters involved.”
“Matters?” I raised an eyebrow. “Involved?”
“Come with me,” he said and grabbed my hand abruptly,
leading me to the exit. Then he stopped, let go of my hand and turned back. “I
mean, will you please come with me somewhere?”
One part of me scolded me not to go someplace alone with a
man I didn’t know well. Another part of me, one that lacked all common sense at
the moment and operated only on primal needs, nodded.
He
