We sit at the bar until we finish our drinks and Lav drags me out to the dance floor as Not a Vampire starts to play through the speakers. The crowd swallows us and we dance together, swaying our hips and getting lost in the music. People bump against me as I dance, but I don’t pay them any attention. Even if I lost my chance with the hot stranger, I’m glad we came. I haven’t let loose like this in too long.

A hand grazes my hip as a husky voice with a slight Italian accent murmurs in my ear. “I thought I’d lost you.”

I twist to look behind me, gasping when I see the guy from the bar.

“I was going to ask you to dance when my asshole friends dragged me out here.”

“So what’s stopping you now?” I tease.

His eyes flare and he wraps his arms around my waist, pulling my ass flush with his impressive erection. “Dance with me,” he commands in my ear.

Totally called it. He’s definitely the dominant sort. And let me just say if my soaked panties are anything to go by, I am here for it.

The rest of the club melts away as we dance. It’s like we’re the only two people in the world. The only thing stopping us from straight-up fucking on the dance floor is our clothes.Fuck. I’ve never been so hot for someone.

I throw my head back, leaning it against his firm chest and I wrap my left arm around the back of his neck as I twist and sway, teasing both of us with my movements. His warm hands skim my waist and sides until his thumbs graze my breasts, pulling a moan from me. I don’t know if he can hear it or feel it, but he growls in my ear.

“I have to have you,bella.” His accent deepens on the term of endearment and I melt into a puddle of goo right alongside my lady bits. He bites my ear, tugging my lobe with his teeth and I moan in response as I grind my ass against him.

“Do you live close?” I practically beg.Please gods let him live close.

“Close enough. Come on, I’ll call a ride.”

“Okay,” I agree perhaps a little too eagerly but you’d be eager too. “I have to find my friend.”

“We’ll go to the bar. You can call her while I order us a car.”

Without his firm grip on my hand as he leads me to the bar, I’m sure I would get sucked back into the crowd. He exudes determination and other patrons step out of his way as we pass.

When we get to the bar, we both pull out our phones. I bite my lip as I watch this stranger order a car to take us to his place.Am I doing the right thing? Should I really be going home with a random guy in a town I don’t know?

Just as my thoughts start to spiral and I begin to second-think this, my phone rings. I sigh when I see Lav’s picture. Quickly answering it, I shout into the phone to be heard. “Where the hell are you?”

“I’m by the door.” I snap my head in that direction and sure enough she’s standing on the side of the room with some hot guy on her arm. She waves when she sees me looking. “I see you landed your fish,” she teases. “I’m heading out with mine now. Yours looks like he’s more than capable of seeing you home safe.”

“You’re ditching me?” I gasp.

“You know I wouldn’t if you needed me.” She rolls her eyes and I can feel it from across the crowded room. “I saw you dancing. Trust me that man is ready to take you home. Have fun! Don’t overthink it!” Then she disappears out the door, waving her fingers over her shoulder.

“Everything, okay?” the sexy stranger says into my ear. My whole body shivers as his breath puffs across my neck and ear.

“Mmm. Mmhmm,” I moan as he presses into me, his hard bulge digs into my back and I clench my thighs.

“Ready to get out of here?” His husky voice has me turning into a freaking puddle. God, why does everything about this man turn me on so damn much?

“You have no idea,” I groan and his hands tighten around me.

“Then let’s go.” He walks me to the door, his arm never leaving my waist.

As we leave the club, every second thought I had vanishes. I want this. I wanthim.

Unlikemybeautifulcompanion,I don’t bother telling my friends I’m leaving. They’ll figure it out sooner or later. Nothing is taking my attention away from the woman on my arm. Stopping at the curb, I spin her around in my arms so I can look at her beautiful face while we wait for the car.Fuck. She’s stunning. She licks her lips and my eyes latch onto the movement as two competing thoughts flash through my mind. 1) I want to lick those luscious lips. 2) I wantherto lick me with that delicate pink tongue. Fuck. I’m already gone for this girl and I don’t even care.

“I’m going to kiss you now,” I warn her. If she doesn’t want this, now’s the time to say so. Instead of smacking me and running for the hills, she bites her bottom lip, looking up at me through her lashes, and nods. Taking that for the go-ahead, I step closer to her, our fronts brushing together before I grab her hip with one hand and the back of her neck with the other. Pulling us together until I can’t tell where I end and she begins, I lower my mouth to hers.
