I tense at her response. “Who?” I practically snarl.
“That guy over there,” she answers, making a small motion with her head. I look down at her, following her line of vision in the direction she nodded. There’s a guy leaning against the rail on the other side of the room. This railing surrounds the whole upper loft area, making an open square shape to see below at the bar and dance floor.
“You’ve got to be kidding. That guy over there wouldn’t know what to do with a woman like you.”
I hear her practically snort at my reply. “And you do? You ran away after dry humping me because you were afraid of my brother and father.”
“You really shouldn’t push me right now, Peaches. It’s not safe for you,” I growl.
“You could always leave. Besides, I’m not pushing you. I’m just telling the truth.”
“What you’re doing is being a brat.”
She laughs. “A brat? Well, I guess it’s a good thing that you’re not the man in my life then. God forbid, you have to deal with a woman who has her own ideas and demands and not just some club twinkie ready to spread her legs for you and all your buddies upon command.”
“You’re testing me, Skylar.”
“I don’t care, Joker,” she sasses.
For some reason, having her call me Joker makes me laugh. “I was going to play nice, but I think you should learn what happens when you push me too far.”
“I’m really scared,” she mumbles. She tries to turn around to face me, but I don’t let her. “What are you doing? Let me go, Torin!”
I lean into her even harder, refusing to let her budge. I bite down on her ear, knowing it will cause her a little pain. The moment the pain hits her, I feel her body shudder against me. Slowly, my fingertips glide over her shoulder and down her side. I hear her intake of breath as I put my other hand on her hip, clamping my fingers down hard enough that I know they’ll probably leave bruises in their wake. “I’ll tell you what I’m doing, baby girl. I’m going to show you what happens when you mess with a man like me,” I purr close to her ear.
“This isn’t funny anymore, Torin.”
“You think that fucker over there could even begin to bring you the pleasure you deserve?”
“He’d have to do a better job than the one you’ve done, wouldn’t you think? Now let me go. I won’t warn you again.”
My lips jerk with her answer, and I find myself smiling. Fuck, the only time I ever smile is when Skylar is close by, or if I hear Breaker talking about her pissing him off. I live for those moments, and I’m not even going to bother to deny it.
“You’re going to warn me, Peaches? Do you really think you’re the one in control here?”
“Are you trying to say I’m not?”
“I’m saying you’re in for a lesson and, baby, I’m going to enjoy giving it to you.”
“Torin—”
“Hush. Your first lesson is about to begin,” I purr.
Her body goes stiff, although nowhere near as stiff as my dick. I’ve fought my hunger for her for three years. Tonight, I’m going to allow myself to have a small taste of what should have always been mine. I just hope Skylar is ready …
Chapter 11
Skylar
I don’t understand what’s happening here. I truly didn’t expect Torin to follow me back inside the club. At the very least, I thought he would be detained for a while. I’m not sure how he got out of the mess outside so quickly, but it’s annoying. It’s clear he’s pissed at me. What I don’t understand is the way he’s pushing up against me, making sure I feel the evidence of the very large, hard ridge of his erection. He’s pushing against my ass, and I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t affecting me. I’m wet. Then again, I was wet earlier. I’m pretty sure that anytime I get around Torin, my panties end up soaked.
“Torin, you need to stop.” I try to make my voice stern, but it sounds more aroused. I hear it myself and grimace. I am turned-on and there’s no way that Torin doesn’t know that. He has a hand on each of my hips and using that leverage to grind against my ass in a half circular motion. Or at least, I think it is. My heart is running away with me, making it harder and harder to get my bearings. I’d forgotten how big Torin felt pressed against me when he was aroused. I kind of thought I’d never experience it again. I’d given up on him. That was my sole reason for being here. “It’s just like you to ruin tonight for me,” I huff, my body feeling flushed.
