I wrapped my arm around Jade’s waist, seating my hand on her lower back. “Jade, please think about leaving.” Sugar usually worked over salt, and I didn’t want to mention Tito. If we made a commotion, we would draw attention to ourselves.
She pressed her body against mine.
I briefly closed my eyes. I could get so lost in the moment, in her. But I couldn’t take advantage of her. I wasn’t that type of guy. Although I wasn’t beyond losing my load in my jeans. I didn’t need to fuck her to get off.
Her hands snaked up my chest. “Tell me the truth.”
She was spinning a web around us, and I was about to strip her right there and suck her pussy. It wouldn’t be out of the norm considering the way partygoers were fondling the waiters.
“You can’t handle the truth,” I said in her ear.
She shivered, mashing her body flush against mine. “I can.”
“You won’t remember.” I wanted her coherent when I told her my truth. “Instead you tell me the truth. Are you with that guy?”
She batted those ball-squeezing green eyes over her shoulder. “He’s a friend.”
I eyed the dark-haired dude, who was watching us intently. “Does he know that?”
“Denim.” My name rolling off her sweet tongue was pure sugar, and if it was possible, my dick grew even harder.
I nipped at her ear before I licked at the sensitive spot just below her earlobe. “Angel.” I wanted to ask her why she hated for me to call her love but didn’t want to ruin the moment. “You don’t know what I want to do to you.”
She subtly rocked her hips into me. “You want to fuck me.” She giggled. “You feel so good. Maybe I want to fuck you.”
I grabbed her ass and pressed her hips into my groin, needing friction, lots of it. Then I buried my nose in her hair. “Jade, don’t tease. I just got out of prison, and I’ll fuck you right here in front of everyone.”
She snickered.
I slipped her hand between us, guiding her to take hold of my dick.
She lifted up on her toes. “I always loved your dick, and I want it inside me.”
I groaned, thinking of taking her into the bathroom. But as horny as I was, she deserved better, and she deserved to be one-hundred-percent sober. Because when I finally did fuck her, I wanted her to remember every moment, every lick, every thrust, and every kiss I peppered on her gorgeous body.
She swayed in my arms, and it took all my willpower to back away, but I needed to act fast. If Tito was hiding in the club and I was his target, then she was in danger. That wasifhe knew I was there.
“Can I entice you to at least accompany me to Duke’s office?” I asked. Duke’s office would be safe until we could ensure Tito wasn’t there, unless Duke was meeting with Tito.
She tensed. Maybe I shocked her into sobriety. “Duke?”
“This is Duke’s new club.”
“I’m out of here, then.” Her tone was clear and concise.
I sighed, relieved that Duke’s name was the key to get her to safety.
Mallory broke free from the guy she was talking to and came over, eyeing me with disgust as if I’d just hurt Jade.
Fuck her. Sure, I’d broken Jade’s heart once. I wasn’t about to do it again.
But Jade and Mallory blurred when a shot rang out. Glass and liquor bottles behind the bar shattered.
People dropped to the floor or ran for the exits.
Mallory screamed, “Jade!”
Before I could track what was happening, Jade fell to the floor.
