Morrison’s girl shrugged.Then she headed out of the roped off area.

Farrah and Jerome Ashford’s only daughter scooted over to me, and I exhaled slowly.That twit was becoming a pain in my ass.

I tracked the Morrison girl onto the dance floor.Once under the strobing lights, she secured the strap of her cellphone-sized purse around her wrist.She arched her neck back and threw her arms above her head.

The girl could dance.She undulated with the beats, blending some seriously skilled moves with enthusiasm and sensuality.A circle of watchers had formed around her.Other girls joined in.Horny boys tried to wedge in, and they were immediately tapped on the shoulder by bouncers.

“Fuck, she’s good,” Sile said.

In minutes, the group of girls had become a jerk-bank magnet.The Ashford girl jumped on her feet and hurried to the dance floor.She wormed her way to Morrison’s latest bastard, who carried on dancing.

Sile tipped the bottle of beer to his mouth.“Getting her away from that entitled brat will be a kindness.”

“Yeah.”

When they came back, I maneuvered Sienna Winslow to sit between Sile and me, leaving the Ashford girl seated on his other side.

I leaned in.“You scorched that dance floor.Where did you learn to dance like that?”

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and grinned.“Thank you.I’ve learned with YouTube.”She pointed at the bucket on the low table.“Do you mind if I take a bottle of water?It’s the last one, and—”

I tagged the bottle and uncapped it before handing it to her.

“Th-thank you,” she murmured before tilting her neck back to take a healthy mouthful.

While she talked more about books and shit, I kept my attention on her.But the girl was as bland as her friend had said.

The blonde whined.“Nana, I’m bored.”

Sile laughed, drawing the women’s attention.“We can’t have beauties like you being bored.Let’s do shots.”He curved his arm around the brat.“What’s your poison, gorgeous?”

That worked, and the Ashford girl giggled.

When Morrison’s daughter licked her lips and swiped the pad of her thumb over the corner of her bottom lip, I inched my mouth to her ear.

“You’re beautiful, Sienna.”

“You’re very attractive, too,” she whispered.

She was into me.Good.Cupping her cheek, I stroked my thumb on her cheekbone.“I want to kiss you.”

Her pulse went wild, but she shifted back and lifted those fucking yellow peepers.

“Gabby...uh...she likes you and—”

The trust fund princess had made that clear, but I wasn’t going to let her derail my plans.“Sienna, can I tell you the truth?”

Her head jerked back.“Are you going to say mean things about my friend because all women are catty and compete for a man’s attention?”

The little mouse had some spunk.I slanted closer.“The truth is the minute you walked in, I only had eyes for you.I don’t care what your friend wants.I want you, Sienna.If you don’t feel it too, just say it.”

She bit on her bottom lip.“No, I...I feel it too.”

With my hand around the side of her neck, I went in and kissed her.When the tip of my tongue touched her upper lip, she made a muffled noise before her tongue came out to play.

Drawing away, I watched her mouth chase mine.Then she looked up.And killed the beginning of my hard-on.

“I want to see you again,” I whispered, and I almost smiled when I felt her shiver.
