“What is it?” Bea asked me curiously.
“It’s Mayhem.”
Wade’s head snapped up from his girlfriend’s neck, and he took in the scene. “Shit, so it is.”
Turning my attention back across the room, I realized Jett had noticed me. I saw his eyes run down me slowly before they trailed leisurely over my body. My whole body felt hot, and when he fixed on my chest, I really wished I had a bra on to hide the pebbling of my nipples. When he finally met my eyes again, there was a hunger in them that I couldn’t look away from.
His grin was wicked when suddenly the lights went out and the music cut off.
“Mayhem!” It was shouted all around us, and I flinched as people either shouted in glee or screamed in fright at the sudden change to the evening.
I’d been to one party before where the Devils caused Mayhem, and I’d learned from that night. They put the lights out, the music stopped, and the trick wasnotto run. If you ran, you were fair game to be chased.
I waited in the dark, bodies jostled around me, and then I heard it. A sinister whisper all around us. “Run!”
I wanted to screech and bolt, but I stood firm. Nervously, I rubbed my hands over my shorts, and I reached out for Mia, but she was gone.
“Mee?”
She knew better than anyone not to run. She was in heels for fuck’s sake. “Mia?”
I moved to where she had been and stretched my arms out, hoping to find her. Suddenly, I was pulled back into a hard chest.
“You running, Uptight?”
“No.” I shook my head, and I stiffened when cool hands slipped into my top from behind, gliding over my skin to my front and curving upward, brushing under my breasts.
“I think you should run,” Jett whispered in my ear.
“No,” I said as someone else bumped into me, and Jett tightened his hold on me, his fingers grazing over my nipple.
“Yes.” He tightened his hold on me as his fingers played with my breast. “Or the lights are going to come on, and you’ll be bent over with my dick filling you for everyone to see.”
It was wrong that my body clenched at the thought, but his low chuckle in my ear had my heart racing.
A hard slap to my ass caused me to jump, and panic seized my body, causing me to be reckless.
I ran.
Chapter 31: Ava
I moved blindly through the house, bumping into people, crying out when hands grabbed at me, and when I lost my balance at the foot of the stairs, I made the decision, and then I was running up them. I knew the way after all. He wouldn’t expect me to be bold; he wouldn’t expect me to runupward.
At the top of the stairs, I hesitated. I didn’t know which room was his. Hands grabbed me, and I screamed as I was turned deftly and pressed against the wall. His lips covered mine, and tentatively I reached for him, my hands searching andcheckingit was Jett kissing me.
“It’s me,” he confirmed before his lips covered mine again, and this time, I parted my lips for him. Jett crouched as his hands slipped under my ass, and he lifted me, my legs wrapping around him as he carried me, his lips never leaving mine.
A door opened, and then he moved through it, closing it behind him. I heard a click, and then there were screams of surprise, laughter, and outrage from downstairs as the lights were back on. It wasn’t unheard of for some girls and guys to be kissing when the lights went on. The point of Mayhem was to cause as much disruption as possible, and it was common to find your girlfriend or boyfriend kissing someone else. It was also common for Mayhem tocausemayhem, and fights usually broke out.
Jett pulled back and looked down at me as his hands squeezed my ass before letting me go, and I slowly slid down his body to stand in front of him.
“Turn around.”
Swallowing, I did as he asked.
“That top can never be worn again,” he muttered as his hands once again slid inside, and he pulled me into him. Hishead dipped, and his lips were on my neck, and I moaned softly in appreciation as he started to rub his hands over my breasts.
I could feel his hard length press against my ass, but I couldn’t think as his mouth moved over my neck, and his fingers plucked my hard nipples between his fingers.
