The bartender passed him a beer, and he gave him some money and looked around the bar for pussy.Any pussy.Only, his gaze kept being drawn to Larissa.First, she was talking to Harlow.He tried to avoid looking at his sister.Then, she was on the dance floor with Raven.Once Carlos went to grab his wife, she was dancing with Ava, but that didn’t last long, as Smokey went to his wife.Abriana was already in the arms of Ugly Beast, and Hailey was dancing with someone else.
Big Dick spotted Andrew advancing toward the dance floor, and even as he knew it wasn’t any of his fucking business, he was closer.He reached for her and pulled her into his arms.Larissa didn’t struggle.
“Well, hello there, kissing lady,” he said.
“That was a dare,” she said.
“Oh, I know, I just didn’t peg you as being the dare kind of girl.Someone tells you to get on your knees and suck cock, would you do it?”
She wrinkled her nose.“Don’t be so disgusting.”
She went to pull out of his hold.
“If you stop dancing with me, Andrew is waiting in the wings to talk to you, or to dance with you.”He leaned in close, because he just couldn’t help himself.“Or maybe he will run away again.”
“That’s not funny,” she said, pulling away.
“But it is the truth.Your call.You want to deal with him?”
He did expect her to pull away.Larissa always had a reason for people behaving the way they did.She always forgave, at least that was what he knew.
Only, she didn’t pull away.She stayed in his arms, even as the music changed to a slow number.He looked across the dance floor, and sure enough, Carlos gave him a thumbs-up.The fucker had requested a slow number.Just his fucking luck.
Big Dick didn’t do things slow with women.It was always hard and rough.He was never nice.Being nice to women gave them false hope, and he wasn’t in the market of making any woman think he loved her.
Larissa wasn’t looking at him hopefully.In fact, she wasn’t even looking at him at all.She stared at his leather-covered chest and nibbled her lip.What was on her mind?He waited ...but she didn’t speak.
Something was off with Larissa.He had noticed it the few times he’d seen her.Before the shooting, every time he looked at her, she would be smiling.She was probably the happiest person he had ever known, and it sometimes pissed him off.
Now as he looked at her, he had noticed there were more often than not moments when she wasn’t happy.She was just ...there.This was one of those moments.
“How are you holding up?”he asked.
She tilted her head back.“Huh?”
“I won’t let Pussy Fuck come near you.What’s wrong?”
“Nothing is wrong,” she said.
“No?Then tell me, is my dancing that awful that you can’t even smile?”
“You don’t like when I smile, and I’m pretty sure you’re dancing with me because you’ve been ordered to.”
He scrunched up his nose.“Nah, I don’t do any of that shit.One thing you can guarantee, I don’t do anything I don’t want to do.”He winked at her.
And there it was, a small smile.
“I’m sure there is a lot of stuff you do that you don’t want to.”
“Or, I pay someone, or get someone to do it for me.Trust me, there are a lot of people willing to please me.”
“So I’ve seen and heard.”
He looked at her with a frown.
“You know, everyone wasn’t always on their good behavior.I saw a lot at the club, and I know there are a lot of women who want to win you over.I’m just not one of them.”And with that, she pulled away.“Thank you for the dance.”
She stepped back to the bar, and he watched as she ordered a soda.
