Pulling her away from the crowd, I nestle the two of us against the wall. “Would you like to get a drink before the bar gets too crowded, dance first, then grab a drink later, or walk around and check out the club?”

She tilts her head to look up at me. My gaze immediately goes to her plump lips as she speaks. “How about a drink now and later?”

I give her a nod and grab her hand beforepulling her through the crowd to the bar. The bartender makes his way over to us, giving Elise a long, lustful gaze as he stops in front of her.

“What will you have?”

Elise glances at me before turning her attention back to the bartender. “Red Bull and vodka, please.”

He nods before turning his attention to me. “And you?”

“Macallan neat.”

The bartender quickly makes our drinks. I hand him several bills and say, “Keep the change.”

Elise takes a sip of her drink and bounces on the balls of her feet as a long moan comes from her. “Oh my God, this is so good.”

She takes another sip of her drink and lets out another long moan.

A deep rumble forms in my throat. “If you keep making those sounds, I’ll show you what else is good.”

Elise freezes with her glass halfway to her lips. Her eyes widen as I step closer to her. She lays her hand flat on my chest and pushes the lower half of her body against mine.

Her voice is husky. “Let’s dance and then I’ll let you bring me home and have your way with me.”

I grin. “Your wish is my command.”

We make our way to the edge of the dance floor and dance to the beat of the upbeat, fast-paced song as we drink our drinks.

When a waitress walks past, we place our emptyglass on her empty tray before pushing through the crowd to the center of the dance floor.

Wanting to feel Elise against my body, I pull her closer until her back is pressing into my chest.

She moves her luscious hips to the beat of the song and grinds her ass against my growing erection.

Fuck me. This woman will be the death of me.

People crowd around us, oblivious to the rising temperature from the close pressed bodies. They kiss, moan, and grope at each other like the music is the most expensive aphrodisiac known to man.

It’s like we’re all voyeurs, feeding off one another’s lust-filled energies.

I pull Elise closer to me, needing to feel more of her. My hands explore her waist before trailing down to her hips and gripping them hard.

Loud yelling draws my attention down the long hallway toward the back door. No one should be down there at this time of night, especially yelling over the music.

Elise continues to dance amongst the throng of people, oblivious to the commotion happening nearby.

I’m taller than most of the people around, so I use this to my advantage to look around the club.

I chuckle as I glance down and realize Elise can’t even see around the person standing in front of her.

She’s short, like the perfect package all wrapped up for me.

I haven’t been back to this club in a long time. Not since the night that haunts my dreams.

I haven’t been able to bring myself back to the place that almost ruined my reputation and life, let alone Dad’s entire empire.

Scanning the crowd for any familiar faces, I breathe a sigh of relief when I don’t find any. The last thing Elise and I need right now is drama and past mistakes being brought up.
