“I’m fucking shattered,” I admitted.
The bartender laughed, her short blue curls bouncing when she threw her head back. “It’s Valentine’s Day, Cupid,” she jested. “Shouldn’t the god of desire himself get the girl?”
A joke to my job title, I knew, but the salutation filled me with pride, nonetheless. I glanced back at Chloe one more time, then asked the bartender to put both our tabs on mine before I made my final descent into Chloe’s magnetic abyss.
Lana was laughing at a joke when I approached their table a few minutes later. I snuck in behind Chloe while she was distracted and wrapped my hands around her waist, squeezing her soft flesh. Without looking, she seemed to know who it was and leaned back into me, her hand grazing over mine.
“Hello, Cupid,” she said as I bent down to her ear.
“You know… all this begging you’re making me do…” I said into her hair, “I might have to punish you for it later. You’ve been averybad girl, teasing me all night.”
Her head moved sideways just so, and I could see a smile lift at the corner of her lips. “Tell me how you’ll punish me,” she said in a voice only I could hear.
“Over my knees,” I said, clutching her waist. “And you’ll only be wearing those fluffy handcuffs.”
Her ass shifted back into me, making my cock twitch at the pressure.
“Promise?” she asked.
I held her hip firm as I pressed into her, and I chuckled under my breath before replying, “Sweet girl… Iswearit.”
A soft laugh escaped her. She turned to her right, reaching into the candy dish on the bar top. She chose a heart, and as she circled into me, she placed it on her tongue.
I’M YOURS
Every muscle in my body snapped to attention. I held my composure and watched her a quiet second before reaching into the bowl myself to look for a particular heart—a heart that I intended to keep plenty of on hand for the rest of the night.
When I found it, I held her gaze and placed the candy on my tongue.
GOOD GIRL
She looked like the heart had triggered her to the very depths of her soul. Her chest visibly caved with her exhale, brown eyes dancing from my eyes to my lips. And just as I started to curl the candy back into my mouth, she grabbed my sweater, pulled me down, and her open mouth crashed into mine.
CHAPTER EIGHT - CHLOE
I DIDN’T KNOW what had come over me—why seeing that particular heart on his tongue had sent my entire body into overdrive.
But it did.
Fuck, it did.
His hands wrapped around my waist, my neck. He was clutching my flesh, his tongue sweeping against mine, fingers tugging gently at the roots of my hair. Those lips… thosehands… I could hardly wait to have them trailing every inch of me. My cunt throbbed with every glide of his tongue against mine, the taste of the candy and vodka on his tongue. A sick adrenaline shivered over me, making me forget that we were in the middle of a crowded bar. Until he slowed his eagerness, and he finally pulled back.
Cold air swept between us, and my body instantly craved his attachment again. Our breaths were short, exasperated. His forehead rested against mine; his digits still clamped on my hips. I was practically on fire from that kiss. Shit, that kiss had me spinning.
I needed more.
My clenched fists tightened on his sweater again. I leaned up and licked his open mouth, making him move in again to kiss me, but I swayed back.
“My place.”
Lana barely did more than give me a kiss on the cheek and tell me to be safe—reminding me to use protection, which I was definitely up to date on—as Gavin disappeared to get his coat from the seat he’d occupied before.
I shot back the last swig of my drink, making a face at the sting of the last drops on my tongue. I had no sooner thrown my coat over my arm before a hand grabbed me by the elbow and whirled me around. Gavin hauled me flush, his lips pressing against mine in a claiming kiss that limped my knees.
That dangerous, crooked smirk flashed down at me when he released my lips. I barely had a moment to consider jumping his bones again before he leaned down and whispered in my ear.
“Walk us to my Jeep. Give me a preview of that ass swaying like it’ll do on my lap later.”
