Chapter Twenty-Six
Rowan
I trail behind Addison, following the sway of her hips as she moves with the beat of the music.
Those heeled boots are gonna end up wrapped around my waist as I smear her fucking makeup across my lips.
I stalk her like a predator, fully ready to strike until some drunk fucker stumbles into my path.
His head follows after my girl, and I yank him back by his collar before hissing in his ear.
“I don’t think so.”
I push him in the opposite direction, pleased when the crowd swallows him.
My eyes snap to Addison’s figure in an instant, and I lock onto her as she dances in place.
We’re crowded towards the back of the club, and there aren't as many people around to see as I slide my hands along her hips and she pushes her ass back against me.
Her head rests back on my shoulder as I stare down at her fervently.
“Can you dance?” She asks, her tone sensual.
I move with her, our bodies syncing to the beat as my hands trail all over her curves.
I caress her everywhere I can, marking every inch of her as I bury my face in her neck and nip at her skin.
She lifts a hand to me, her fingers holding the nape of my neck as we dance.
The scent of her floods my senses, and the whole room seems to fade away as it becomes just the two of us.
“You shouldn’t be here,” she says with a small smile.
“I can’t stay away from you.” My words burn into her, every drop of sincerity bleeding conviction and finality between us. Two souls destined for eternity. Two people who were meant to end up here.
Her hips stop as her eyes crash with mine. Her lips part as she stares at me. A spark travels between us, the air electrifying and sizzling like a live wire.
She runs her hand over my jaw, her eyes trailing to my lips. “Then don’t.”
I grab her cheeks before slamming my lips to hers in a possessive, claiming kiss. I smear her lipstick in the process, marking both of us with evidence of our connection. She has no idea what floodgate she’s just opened in me, but she will soon enough.
“Do you know what you’re doing, Sunshine?” I growl when we pull away. “Do you have any idea what you’ve done to me?”
She swallows, her eyes wide. “I’m scared, but I can’t stop this. I don’t want to, Rowan.”
“Give me your fear,” I whisper. “Let me hold onto that for you.”
Her gaze bounces between mine. “I’ve never done this before. What if—”
I shake my head. “Let me take care of you, Sunshine. All my life, I’ve cared for others out of duty. Let me care for you out of need. I need to take care of you, Addison.”
She looks stunned by my proclamation. “Are we both crazy? This seems like it’s moving so fast.”
I chuckle, burying my nose behind her ear as I place nipping kisses over her skin. “It moves as fast as we want it to. Unfortunately, you got tangled up in my web long ago. I can’t let you go.”
She steps forward before turning to face me. There’s a crack in her guard before her arms wrap around my neck, and she throws all caution to the wind. “Then don’t.”
I pick her up, and she instinctively wraps her legs around my waist as I push her up against the back wall. She gasps, her hands cupping my cheeks as she stares down at me with wide eyes.
“Someone could see us,” she whispers, horrified.
“I don’t care,” I growl as my hand works between us to unzip my jeans. “I need to be inside of you, Sunshine.”
She nods, smashing her lips to mine as I pull myself free and use my thumb to yank her panties to the side.
I thrust forward, burying every inch inside of her as she gasps into my mouth.
Her body welcomes me as her core tightens around my length, and it feels like coming home.
I thrust forward shallowly, ravaging her against the wall as I suck and kiss down her slender throat.
Her hands claw at my shoulders before she bunches my shirt in her fists.
Her sweet cries drown out the sounds of the club bumping in the background as we ride out our pleasure together.
“Rowan—” she raps in my ear.
“I know,” I coo. “Cum for me, beautiful. Together.”
Her pussy pulses around me as everything comes to a head. My release rips from me as she throws her head back in ecstasy, and I place a hand at the nape of her neck to stop her from hitting the wall as I fill her.
This is connecting and consuming. What I feel for her can’t be described in mere words. She may not feel as strongly as I do, but she will. I’ll make sure of it.
Her hand rubs tenderly along my jaw, and I pull back to smile at her. Something softhearted dances behind her eyes as the corners of her lips upturn, and the wind is knocked from my lungs.
That damn smile.
“You’re so perfect,” I mutter.
She chuckles, brushing her nose against mine. “That’s far from the truth.”
I shake my head. “You’re always perfect to me. I should probably let you get back to your friends.”
She blushes as she grabs the collar of my shirt. Her expression turns sheepish. “Will you stay?”
Oh, my sunshine girl.
You couldn’t get rid of me if you tried.
“Of course. We’ll let you have your fun, but we’re staying until you’re done.” I reassure her.
She rolls her lips in to hide her amusement as I fix our position and let her slide back to the ground. Her thighs shift at the wetness between them, and I grab her throat as I drag her to me.
“That stays. I want you to feel me dripping down your thighs while you dance and have a good time.” I command before nipping at her lips.
She gives me a wide-eyed, innocent look as she nods. “Yes, sir.”
Fuck me.
I love the way that sounds coming from her.
I motion for her to walk in front of me. “After you.”
She tucks her head as she saunters back into the crowd, but I don’t miss the smirk on her face as she rejoins her group.
I lumber around the bar, taking my seat between Atlas and Connor as relaxation and satisfaction roll off of me in waves.
My clothes are slightly mussed, and my brother takes notice, huffing.
“Lucky,” he mumbles.
“Loxley will forgive you easily,” I shrug.
He chuckles. “Oh, I’ll get on my knees later and beg for forgiveness.”
Connor has a dopey smile on his face as he makes googly eyes at Alana across the bar. He lifts his hand to the bartender before ordering her another drink, and winks at her as she takes it with a smirk.
We are fucking wrapped.
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
