Page 29 of Sinful Addiction

Another slap, this time harder, penetrates my already sensitive flesh.The sudden sting causes my body to react in such a way that I want to tear this man’s suit off and fuck him on the sidewalk.Be damned who is watching.

Before I can protest, I’m sliding down the front of Antonio’s chest with his arms wrapped tightly around my waist.

“Lacey Montgomery, you drive me fucking wild.But you in this dress…” He sucks in his bottom lip as his eyes dip to the perfect picture view of my cleavage bursting from my dress with us pressed together.“I’m a murderous mess.”

His admission should scare me.I should be running for the nearest bus, train or catching the first flight out of this country, but somehow his words are soothing and at the same time empowering.He sees me for who I am and who I’m meant to be.

“Take me to Envy.”

Instantly, his pupils dilate, erasing the doubts I’ve been harboring.

“Make me understand what it’s like.I’ll try harder not to run this time.”

I sure as hell hope I’m right.

Antonio

After deliberating my life at Freddy’s kitchen table for far too long, I finally called the cleanup crew and left.There was one place I needed to go, but first I had to wash off the remnants of my night.

Freshly showered and armed with my computer, I start the search for my favorite blond.It doesn’t take long to locate her either.She’s at a club that has a reputation about as useful as a used condom.The brothers who own it are shady bastards and will take advantage of any woman who wants into their bar.This is why I’m picking up my keys already on my way there.The last thing I want is for either of them to get an eyeful of my little pixie in one of her body revealing dresses.

Passing Knox on my way out, he quickly falls in line ready to go on a pixie hunt.

We pull up outside Magnitude and I’m as eager as anything to lay eyes on my woman’s ravishing body.My dick twitches at the thought of her legs wrapped around my waist rubbing her pussy against me, and my need to make things right increases.

The bouncers here take one look at me and allow me access without any grief.That’s a shame.I was looking forward to making myself better known.Perhaps I’ll have my chance to stir some trouble inside.

I don’t need to scan my surroundings.Lacey is like a homing beacon to my senses.I know where she is before I lay eyes on her, and it seems my recent observation is true.She sits with a young group of people, mostly around her age, some look a few years older, laughing and drinking.I recognize one of the young men instantly.He’s been a member of Envy for two years now.He has a rather interesting reputation with the ladies, none of which is the one he’s currently feeling up.

I stalk over to their table ignoring the hands that dare brush my arms as I walk through the drunken crowd of horny women and men.

I stop far enough away to hear the end of a conversation, then watch as Lacey attempts to do up her shoe straps, and now that all eyes are on me, she’s turning to see what or rather who caught their attention.

“Hello, pet.”

I’ve caught her off guard.We spend a short time ignoring her friend’s judgmental eyes and opinions, engrossed in our own world.It’s only the two of us; Lacey immobilized by my appearance and me waiting for the shoe to drop.Because I love getting straight to the point, I decide to be said shoe.I don’t hesitate and before she has time to register what I’m doing, she’s over my shoulder, out of the club and in the back of my car as we’re taken to Envy.

The short ride is silent, but the tension is intense.If anyone were to enter our space, they’d be hit by a deadly voltage of electricity.

I’m eager to get her where I want her and where she belongs, but I’m also aware of the alcohol she’s consumed tonight as the aroma she gives off is one of a frat Tiki bar; sweet and fruity.I’m not a man who forces himself on a woman.Ever.I want her to be clear headed enough to consent, but if I have to sober her up and she runs again, it will put a bigger rift between us.She’ll use this as an excuse for me taking advantage when the truth is I know her better than she knows herself.She wants this more than anyone I’ve been with but is too scared to let go.

I will be the one to make her jump the ledge.More importantly, Iwantto be the one who catches her when she falls.

Knox has the car parked underground so no one in the public eye will see us enter the building.It’s always been this way with Lacey, there’s too much at stake for her if she’s spotted entering this establishment.

I take hold of Lacey’s hand and help her out of the car, then blindly drag her through the hallways of the club until we’re at the only available room.My eagerness is putting me on edge as I get ready to let my demons run wild with their mate.

Suddenly, I’m being pulled backward with an unexpected force, and I almost fall flat on my ass.

“What the hell?”I curse as I gain my footing and turn to face Lacey.“Pet?”The fear in her eyes is concerning.Something has triggered this behavior since she has never had this reaction before now and considering this washeridea, I don’t know how to treat this…situation?

“Don’t call me that.Don’t call me any of those names.Oh my god I can’t breathe.”She lets go of my hand, doubling over so her elbows are resting on her knees, her ass is in the air, and my dick picks the worst moment to enjoy the view.

I’m at her side, unsure of what to do, so I start rubbing gentle circles on the small of her back.I’ve seen this done by husbands to their wives before and never understood it until now.It’s a protecting endearment.

“Don’t fucking touch me.”She swats my hand away by using her whole arm in a windmill motion.She uses such force in an effort to get me away that I don’t have enough time to step back, and she backhands me across the face; my endearment theory now blown out the window.
