We walk into the clubhouse to loud music and a room packed full of bodies. Skyler grabs my arm and drags me to the bar.
“Jinx, two virgin Piña Coladas, please,” Skyler shouts over the music. Jinx nods her head to acknowledge the order. I notice she bartends for the club whenever they have big events, butavoids the clubhouse any other day. She works for Declan and his brother at their bar, so it’s not like she completely avoids club interaction, but I find it strange she doesn’t mingle with anyone other than Sadie, Jayde, or Sky.
We get our glasses and clink them and just as we’re about to take a sip, Ethan comes barreling around the back of Skyler and snatches her glass out of her hand.
“The fuck are you thinking? You can’t drink that. No alcohol while you’re pregnant.” Sky glares at Ethan and he must realize what he’s said out loud, because his cheeks turn a shade of red, but it doesn’t douse the anger in his eyes.
“It’s a virgin drink, asshole. I’m not stupid. And Avery is underage. What the hell, Ethan?”
“I don’t give a shit about what Avery does. No offense, Avery,” Ethan says, then focuses back on his wife. “I only care about you and our baby.” He puts his hand on her belly, staring down at her little pooch. Skyler softens immediately.
“You don’t have to be an ass all the time, you know. You could try not being one between the hours of, let’s say six and ten p.m.”
Ethan growls and kisses her until she’s breathless. I turn away, not wanting to invade their very personal moment.
Skyler grabs my arm when they’ve finished and leans in to tell me, “Please don’t tell anyone. Ethan wants to wait a little while longer before we spill it to the club. He wants to see what we’re having first.”
“No problem. It’s your business to share whenever you’re ready. I won’t say a word.”
I feel Jake before I see him. His strong arms wrap around my middle, and he pulls me back into his chest.
“Hi,” he says, all breathy and seductive. Damn.
“Hi,” I say back with a mischievous grin of my own. I knew this outfit was going to draw his attention tonight. It was strategically planned this way. I chose a flowy leather dance skirtwith sexy black panties and a cropped black sweater with long sleeves and a low V-neck that accentuates my breasts and shows a hint of skin around my navel so he can see my belly ring.
Jake loves my belly ring.
My hair is pulled back in a high, tight bun, a few tendrils loose around the frame of my face. But the best part of the whole damn outfit is the black strappy fuck me heels I’m wearing, bringing me almost level to Jake’s height.
“You look amazing in this outfit. I think maybe we should get you out of it. I’ll take you to my room and you can show me some of those dance moves Skyler’s been teaching you while I watch you undress for me.” My cheeks flush. Even after all this time, the slightest mention of sex taints my cheeks with color, but not as much as Jake’s filthy promises.
I spin in his arms, not wasting any more time, and bring my mouth to his, seeking entrance with my tongue. Jake obliges with a groan and our tongues dance together. He tastes like whiskey and trouble.
“If we disappear, Liz will send everyone to find us. It is my party, after all.” I laugh at Jake’s groan of disapproval.
“Hey, asshat!” Jinx calls over to Jake. He flips her the bird.
“Nice to see you too, Jinxy.” Jake grabs my drink and sits me down on the bar stool. “Wait here for me, baby. I need to go talk to Pres about something and I’ll be right back. Don’t you dare move from that spot. You got me?” I roll my eyes and huff at him.
“If you’re not back in twenty minutes, I’m dancing with my girls and you can find me when you’re done,” I sass, searching the room for Sadie and Jayde.
Jake leans down, putting his mouth right up to my ear. My body shutters as his breath grazes my skin.
“If you show your sexy moves off wearing this skirt without me being here, I will pin you down and have my way with you. I’ll spank your ass and pound that sweet little pussy of yours whilekeeping you from reaching your orgasm until I’m damn good and ready. You got me now, Angel?” He nips my earlobe. My cheeks are inflamed, my thighs squeeze together tight, and my panties are now soaked.
I glare at him.
Asshole.
He gives me a quick, chaste kiss before leaving me alone at the bar. He knows what his dirty words have had the desired effect and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it until he gets back to take care of me.
Yeah, he’s an asshole, but it’ll be worth it.
I spot Sadie across the room, talking with Vincenzo and Matteo.
What are they doing here?
I walk over to say hello and hear Sadie say, “Fine. I’ll do it. But you must have everything ready to go because there’s no way they won’t know.”
