The short girl tried sliding into an available space at the bar, but people crowded it, making no room for her to squeeze in. That wasgreatfor me. My eyes tracked her as she circled to my side of the bar, and I barely managed to fight my grin as she drew close enough for her light perfume to hit my nose.
Standing up from my stool, I pushed it in and stood sideways. I leaned on my elbow to create a space right in front of me. “You trying to get in to order?”
Her gray eyes locked on mine, and when she grinned, my knees damn near gave out.Goddamn, she was gorgeous.
“Thank you,” she said, taking the spot I’d made with an averted gaze. She tucked that starlight for hair behind her ear, which made her arm graze my torso. Her head tilted back to look at me. “It’s so crowd—”
She gasped, and her eyes doubled in size as she stared up at me. Her mouth fell open, and a pretty pink color rose onto her cheeks and ears.
Smirking, I pointed at her gaping mouth. “Is that an invitation? Because, if so, I’ll happily accept.”
Her full lips snapped shut. She licked them, and my dick twitched in my jeans. I couldn’t wait to feel those lips and that tongue along my cock.
Because I would.
This star and her prick of a boyfriend just didn’t know it, yet.
“You—You’re Dante Braxton from Sinners Do It Better.”
I raised a brow and rested on my forearm so that I was closer to her. “You’re a fan?”
She nodded hard, a grin lighting up her face once more. “Yes! I’m a huge Sinner!”
“It’s great to meet you, then. Though, I have to say, you have a rather unfair advantage here. You know me, but I don’t know your name.”
Lies, but she didn’t need to know I’d overheard her asshole partner.
She twirled the ends of some hair around her finger while the pink on her cheeks and ears grew brighter. “My name’s Serenity. Serenity Dixon.”
I leaned in closer in the already tight space and traced my gaze along her curvy, luscious form. “Serenity,” I purred, dropping my voice. “Pretty.”
Her breath hitched, and her gray eyes went hazy with heat. Her eyes landed on my lips, and I nearly laughed to myself. Making her mine was going to be easier than I thought.
Straightening, I waved my hand at the bar. “Well, Serenity. As thanks for supporting me and my band, let me buy your drink.”
“Really? That’s so kind. You don’t have to, though. My boyfriend gave me some money.”
It took every bit of willpower I had to keep from outwardly rolling my eyes. Learning that she had a boyfriend may’ve deterred others, but I didn’t give a fuck after what I’d seen tonight.
“Tell him to keep it for next time,” I replied. “It’s really no trouble. Order whatever you want.”
Her eyes shimmered like a twinkling star in the night sky, and she nodded softly. “Okay. Thank you!”
She stepped all the way up to the bar. Because of the crowd, her back pressed slightly against my front, and that little bit of contact had electric sparks zipping through my veins and settling in my rigid cock. I nearly groaned as I readjusted my stance behind her so that she couldn’t feel my hard dick pressing into her.
“May I have a mai tai, please?” she requested.
I leaned forward and told the bartender, “Put it on my tab.”
The bartender nodded and moved to make Serenity her drink. Serenity tried turning, but the tight space had her body lining right up against mine. Even if I hadn’t caught sight of her biting the corner of her lip, her desire tinting the air was enough to tell me that she was into me.
“S-Sorry,” she apologized weakly, trying to wiggle away, but the crowd only made her press in harder.
Grinning, I cocked my head and stared down at her. “I’m not.”
Her lips parted in disbelief, as though she couldn’t believe that I’d enjoy being this close to her. That was a damn shame. It made me wonder what sort of affirmations that “boyfriend” gave her. Judging by his response when she’d first arrived, I’d be willing to bet he didn’t give her many.
The bartender slid her drink in our direction, and I grabbed it before placing my hand on her hip and tipping my head at the side of the room. “Come on. It’s less crowded over there.”
