“Most likely.” I nod and grab her hand. “You want to dance?”
“You like to dance?”
“Not really, but I’m here with you, and well, there’s something enticing about dancing with a beautiful woman in a packed bar. Almost reminds me of the first night we met.”
“But we didn’t dance. You introduced me to your brother.”
“Stupid mistake,” I say, pulling her into my arms. I start moving back and forth, and she goes along with it. “Did you all buy all the glitter in the city and put it on your bodies?”
“Maybe.” She nods as we sway back and forth. “It’s edible.”
“Ooh, I am a bit hungry.” I press my lips against her neck and lick. I immediately start gagging at the synthetic taste. “It’s not particularly delicious though.”
“Aww, well that’s a shame.” She rubs my lips with her thumb. “They were full of not so delicious glitter,” she says by way of explanation. “I didn’t want you to have to keep tasting it every time you had a sip of your drink."
“Why aren’t you thoughtful?”
“I try to be.” She grins. “But it only ends up being true about 99.9% of the time.”
“Pity,” I say as I wrap my arms around her and bring her in closer to me. “Isn’t it funny that you were just protesting against seeing me tonight, and yet here we are.”
“You got lucky,” She throws her head back and laughs. “I’m a little tipsy, and tonight I vowed to have fun, so here we are.”
“Here we are. It’s almost like fate that we were both at this bar tonight.” I step backwards so that we’re in a dark shadow of the club and then move her back against the wall. “Like we were meant to be here doing this right now.”
“Doing what?” She asks as she wraps her arms around my neck.
“This,” I say before pressing my lips against hers. I slip my tongue inside of her mouth and kiss her passionately. My hand runs down the side of her body, and I lift her up. She wraps her legs around my waist, and I grind into her. Her breasts bounce against my chest, and I growl into her mouth. I feel like a primal predator ready to devour every inch of her. “Let’s get out of here,” I whisper raggedly into her ear. “I need to be inside of you.” I slip my fingers between her legs and rub her clit against the silk of her panties. She’s already wet for me. I look into her eyes, which are wide and full of lust. I slip a finger inside of her, and she gasps as she starts moaning.
“Jack, I…” She closes her eyes and whimpers as her body shakes at my touch.
“Katherine…” I lean forward and blow in her ear. “We can fuck here or at my place. I’m down for either.” I move back slightly and kiss her again. “What’s it to be?” I ask her softly, and she moans with a small smile.
“Let’s get out of here.” She says finally.
“That’s what I thought you’d say.” I grab her hand and head towards the exit. “By the way, why have you been ignoring me all week?” I ask her casually as we slip outside.
“I didn’t want you to think this had anything to do with me wanting money for me or my family.” She looks over at me. “I didn’t want the lines blurred by doing stuff in the office with my boss.”
“I see.” I nod and think about her call with her sister and my offer to help. She wasn’t upset about that, was she? “So you want to keep it out of the office?”
“I want to be able to discuss office stuff in the office?” She says as we head toward a cab. “And sex stuff outside of it.”
“I’m down with that.” I pull her towards me and kiss her hard. “And seeing as we’re out of the office, let’s get down to sexy time business.”
Chapter Nineteen
Katherine
I am giggling far too much. I know it, and yet I can’t stop myself. I feel like I’m floating in the sky as Jack picks me up and carries me into his bedroom. I can’t believe that I’m here with him, about to do the thing I’ve been dreaming about all week.
“We really shouldn’t be doing this,” I say, laughing as he plops me down on the bed. I gaze up at him, and his blue eyes stare down at me and I know I want to be nowhere but here with him.
“I think it’s a little too late for that,” he says. “Seeing as we’ve already done it and you’re already here and I think we’re both looking forward to the night ahead.”
“I just don’t know what Brielle and Marina are going to think. And Levi. Oh my gosh. What is Levi going to think?” She groans. “We didn’t even say goodbye.”
“I think Levi is going to think that he wishes that he were me,” Jack says as he takes off his shirt and gets onto the bed next to me. He strokes the side of my face and then kisses my neck. “He’s going to wish that he was going home with someonetonight.” He pauses. “By the way, do you know if there’s anything going on with him and Brielle?”
