“Liv.” Aiden gave me a look.
I turned to Alice. “Ready?”
“Yes.” She nodded eagerly. “Let’s go.”
“Wait a second.” Aiden caught her wrist. “Can I speak to you for a second, please?”
“Uh, okay.” She looked over at me and made a face and followed him to the corner of the room.
“I need to speak to Liv as well,” Xander said to Gabby, and he grabbed my upper arm roughly and pulled me outside of the room with him. I wonder if Gabby finds this odd.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
“Where do you think you’re going in that outfit?”
“To a club.”
“It’s not appropriate.” He shook his head as he glared at me.
“Appropriate for what?”
“It sends the wrong signals.” He gazed down at my heaving breasts.
“What signals are you talking about?”
“TheI’m looking to get fuckedsignal,” he muttered as he took a step toward me and pushed me back against the wall.
“Who says I don’t want to give off that signal?” I said with a gasp as he grabbed my hands and pressed them back against the wall, next to my head.
“Is that what you want?” He leaned in and kissed my neck softly.
“Xander.” I gulped as he kissed down my neck to my collarbone and the top of my breasts. “Stop it. Anyone could come out of the room and see us.”
“What do you care?”
“Xander, don’t,” I moaned as his hand ran down the side of my body and stopped on my thigh.
“Don’t what?” He pushed his hardness into my stomach and moved back and forth. “Don’t show you what you’re doing to me in that sexy, almost-nonexistent outfit?”
“Was there anything else you needed to say to me?” I turned my head away from him as he leaned forward to kiss my lips.
“Why are you trying to bewitch me?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Nothing.” He sighed and stepped back. “Why did you have to be Gabby’s sister?”
“Why did you have to be her fiancé?”
“You don’t understand.” He frowned. “This isn’t just for me. This is to help protect someone I love.”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“It doesn’t matter.” He shrugged. “It is what it is.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure.” He nodded, and I saw his eyes fall to my breasts.
