Champagne trickles from my fingertips as I prowl over the pavement. Quite a few couples have joined the dancing pair. My eyes skim over them as the world fades to the amber glimmer in Onyx’s irises.
I stop right behind the vamp. “May I cut in?”
He peers at me, his expression fading into hard lines as Onyx watches me. “This dance is mine,” he tells me.
My lips curve slowly. “Is it?” I croon. “My apologies.” I clap him on the back and my magick seeps into his skin through the suit.
He goes ramrod straight, his shoulders pinched as I force him upright with a single thought. A touch of fear fills his eyes. “What—” He licks his lips. “What are you doing?”
“Me?” I ask. “Nothing.”
I pull back, but the damage is done.
My fingers weave at my side and I spill Sin into the air like cologne. A pretty redhead slips from her partner's arms to walk toward me, a keen glint in her gaze. She runs her hands up my chest, her touch hot even through my suit.
A blond breaks loose too. And then a brunette. They crowd me, their lush frames clad in sophisticated gowns. My smile broadens.
Onyx glares.
I wink and grab the redhead.
She practically climbs my body and I laugh. Her knees buckle and I slip my hand into her hair, turning her to fit her ass against my crotch. She writhes over me, her rhythm seductive.
The blond and the brunette grip each other’s hips and dance before us, their lips brushing before they glance at me.
I crook my finger at them.
They sashay over, their hands roaming my back, my shoulders. One scrubs her nails over my scalp. But the touch is not as pleasant as it should be.
My eyes raise.
Onyx has her hands on the vamp’s shoulders, but her focus is locked on me. Her expression is empty, blank, save for that infuriating smile, but there is a wicked glimmer in her eyes. A shine.
I raise a brow.
If you want me, I want to scream, then come here.
She tilts her chin. The same damn stubborn jaunt from the auction. But she offers the vamp a stiff smile and steps away. I lower my head.
“Pet, do you want to please me?” I croon, feeding Sin into my voice.
The redhead shivers. “Yes.”
I urge her away. “Take my friend’s place.”
Her head turns. To look at me. I grab her throat and her sigh is breathy. “I want to watch you, dove. Dance for me.”
Another tremble, but she gives a shaky nod. I release her and she moves past Onyx without a glance to wrap herself around the vamp. He appears surprised but has no qualms whose flesh he grinds against.
Onyx walks closer, her eyes darting to the blond and the brunette as they continue to move around me.
“I don’t think your dance card is empty enough,” she murmurs.
“Do you see me looking at them?”
A slight flush stains her cheeks. “No.”
I hold my hand out.
