Pete disappeared into the crowd. As he did, Liam's hand flattened on my stomach while his other grabbed my breast through my blouse. I moaned and sagged my weight against him. I didn’t care that we were in the middle of a bar. The lights were low, and everyone was looking for something. My body pulsed to the music and Liam’s touch.

“Is this what you wanted?” Liam whispered in my ear.

“Yes.”

“You want me to kill Pete?” he asked, and a chill ran down my spine.

I shook my head.

Liam turned me around. “You danced with him to rile me up.This body craves my touch and no one else’s.” He grabbed my ass and pressed me into his stiff cock, letting me know whose body he referred to. “Just like mine can’t get enough of you.”

I raised my gaze to meet his. “You know why I couldn’t turn down Pete.”

Liam’s eyes were gentle as he watched my lips. “Yes. I get it. Pete’s been strange.”

“Is it me?” I frowned.

“No. He seems to be normal around you. I think he’s afraid of our plan. It’s risky,” Liam admitted.

“Freedom is worth the risk.”

“You and forever sound like a dream. One I want to make a reality.” Liam dropped his head to my neck as he wrapped me in his arms and we swayed, despite the upbeat song. Not that it mattered. The world faded to black around him. “You never answered my question last night.”

“What question?” I feigned ignorance.

His grip tightened on me. “You, me, andforever.”

God.I was so drunk off him, my chest seemed like it would burst. “Mm.”

“Mm, indeed,” he crooned.

Fangs penetrated my neck. I moaned as liquid lust shot through my bloodstream. I was shocked he’d do that in a public place. All around us, people danced, unaware a vampire bit me, making me a wanton mess. Grabbing my hair twisted atop my head, Liam yanked until my mane tumbled down my shoulders, concealing his feeding.

“Oh,shit,”I moaned. “If you’re not planning on taking me somewhere and relieving me, I will stab you.”

Liam withdrew his fangs and flicked his tongue across my flesh. “Can you walk?”

“If you want me rubbing my legs together, then yes, I can walk,” I said.

He scooped me into his arms and weaved through the dancers. Someone slid their sweaty palm down my leg and Liam growled.

“What the fuck, man! Youreyes.” I heard a man yell over the music as I leaned forward and sucked on Liam’s neck.

Liam must not have been too worried, because we kept moving. “Move,” he barked at someone.

“What—”

“Don’t letanyonecome back toward these booths,” Liam said to another.

I glanced over at where a beefy man stood.

“Yes,” the man’s eyes hazed over as he answered.

“Here?” I whispered as I clenched my thighs together. The sensation felt good against my pounding clit. We were at a dark corner of the bar. No one would see even with all the flashing lights, unless they came closer.

“Yes, here,” Liam murmured. “We won’t make it back to the bus. It’s too far.”

“Whose fault is that?” I dragged my teeth over his ear piercing and tugged at it slightly until he hissed.
