“Nope. No to him...and no to wearing that.”
“Oh shh. You're wearing it. It's perfect for tonight.”
I sigh as I reluctantly shimmy into the little black number.
Thank god I was wearing my boy short underwear underneath. It barely covered my ass cheeks.
“By the way. I picked you up a little present,” Nathaniel says as he tosses a Victoria Secret bag my way.
Crap.
He laughs. “Time to toss out those granny panties and put on your big girl undies.”
“It's a good thing Cinderella's fairy god mother wasn't this twisted,” I mutter as I slip on the lacy black thong.
They both start howling with laughter.
“Please honey...that old bat didn't know anything about sex or fashion. Just look at all that taffeta Cinderella's ball gown was made out of. I mean, how the hell is Prince Charming supposed to find your hooha through all of that?” Nathaniel gripes as he hands me a pair of red stiletto's.
Cinderella and I were going to have one more thing in common if he expected me to wear those tonight.
I put them on and do a once over in the mirror.
Smokey eye makeup covered my eyelids in addition to the sexy dress and heels.
I certainly looked like some sort of scarlet...that's for sure.
I can't believe I was about to walk out the door...dressed like this.
Aaron comes up behind me and gives my hand a soft squeeze. “Relax and have fun for once. You're beautiful and sexy. If he can't see that honey...then it really is his loss."
I close my eyes and put my head on his shoulder.
Nathaniel comes over to us and squeezes my other hand. “Yeah...screw him. Let's go have some fun.”
I smile and look at the both of them.
I can't help but begin to tear up a little. Maybe it was the wine...but I suddenly found myself feeling very sentimental, as well as thankful for their friendship.
“Thank you guys. The both of you. I've never really had friends before. I've never had anyone before. I'm really glad I met you both."
“We're really glad we met you too Dev. I figured you were a lone wolf. You don't have to be alone anymore though. You have us,” Aaron says.
He wraps his arms around Nathaniel and I, pulling us into a three person hug.
“Now stop crying Dev...you'll smudge your makeup silly.”
Chapter 15
Thankfully we end up taking a cab to the club. It was chilly outside, especially in my skimpy clothing.
We enter the club and walk down the dark and narrow staircase which seems to go on forever.
Half naked people gyrate their bodies against one another to the seductive music as sultry red lights fill the huge underground room.
Half of me was repelled...the other half couldn't resist.
Nathaniel and Aaron both grin as they watch me take in my surroundings.
There was something so animalistic and raw about the atmosphere.
Almost as if it was specifically designed to put you into a trance.
We walk to the bar and order our drinks from some shirtless man wearing leather pants.
“Like I said before...so early 2000's,” Aaron says as I laugh.
“Let's go dance,” Nathaniel shouts after we get our drinks.
I soon get lost in the music on the dance floor.
It felt so good to just let go.
Sometime later I look around and notice that Aaron and Nathaniel had walked over to the bar.
I look up and they give me a thumbs up sign. I soon feel a pelvis begin to grind against my backside.
I was immediately taken back...but I decided to go with it.
I couldn't stop thinking about Tristan and I needed a distraction.
I curve myself against him and begin to shake my hips.
We dance like that for a few more moments before I decide to turn around and get a look at who I was dancing with.
My eyes gloss over dark hair and dark eyes against tan skin and muscular build.
He was attractive...couldn't deny that.
I was nowhere near as drawn to him as I was to Tristan...but that didn't mean I couldn't enjoy myself.
We finished our dance and he smiles at me.
“Let me buy you a drink,” he shouts over the music as the next song cues up.
He quickly takes my hand and leads me over to the bar.
Aaron winks at me as we cross paths and he leads Nathaniel out on the dance floor.
I focus my attention back on the man standing next to me.
“What's your poison sexy?” he asks as he slips his hand down to the small of my back.
“Vodka and cranberry.”
The bartender pours our drinks and hands them to him.
“So, what brings a girl like you out to one of these?” he asks as he sets my drink down in front of me.
“I came out with some friends.”
He gives me a nod and another smile.
“What's your name?” I ask.
“Jonathan,” he whispers in my ear as he leans himself into me.
I feel nervous then and I don't know why.
I turn my head as Aaron and Nathaniel walk over to us.
“We're gonna run to the bathroom...you okay here?” Nathaniel asks as he looks Jonathan up and down.
“She's perfectly safe,” Jonathan answers.
Aaron looks uneasy and reaches for my hand.
Jonathan appears to pick up on Aaron's apprehension. He opens the inside of his jacket and points to a badge.
“Look, I'm a cop. Don't worry, I'm not looking to bust the place. I'm just out to have a good time and talk to your pretty friend.”
I want to smack myself for feeling so nervous before.
“It's okay guys. Go to the bathroom. I'll be right here,” I assure them before they walk away.
“So where are you from?” he asks as he reaches for my arm.
“New England.”
My nervousness was slowly starting to creep its way back.
“Why don't we go someplace a little more private?” he asks.
His grip then moves from my arm down to my wrist rather forcefully.
Now...my intuition is damn near kicking me in the head.
“I told my friends I would stay right here. Look...it was nice meeting you Jonathan, have a nice night,” I say.
I try to back away from him but his grip on my wrist won’t let up.
“You can either make my job easy, or really hard Dev. The choice is yours,” he sneers as he tightens his hand around my wrist.
Panic creeps up my spine as I realize...I never told him my name.
My thoughts were soon interrupted by the sound of a deep smooth voice with the faintest hint of a southern accent.
“Get your hands off of her...now,” Tristan growls.
He then grabs him around the throat. Jonathan releases my wrist in an instant.
I watch as Tristan pulls him out of the club in under a minute. His movements were swift and precise.
“What the hell happened?” Aaron shouts as he and Nathaniel rush to my side.
I quickly give them the run down.
“Do you want to leave?” Nathaniel asks.
I shake my head. The guy was an asshole but I’m determined not to let this ruin my night.
Besides, the more I think about it. Aaron or Nathaniel probably said my name in front of him.
I really need to stop being so over dramatic.
“I guess Cinderella does want the prince after all,” Aaron teases as Tristan re-enters the club.
I stop breathing. In his jeans, white t-shirt and leather jacket. He looks sexier then sin.
He’s like my very own James Dean.
Yeah, except he isn't yours Dev...remember?
I close my eyes at the realization.
I feel his hand grab my elbow before he steers me towards the stairs.
I stop and fold my arms across my chest.
; Tristan doesn't seem phased as he scoops me in his arms and carries me up the first flight of stairs.
He then turns down a dark corner and walks up a different flight of stairs.
“Where are you taking me Tristan?” I scream.
“Someplace where you can think,” he says as he opens a door and a cold breeze hits my face.
The freaking roof...I should have known.
A moment later, he finally sets me down.
He removes his jacket and drapes it around my shoulders.
“Do you have any idea what that guy could have done to you?” he barks as his gaze drops down and he narrows his eyes over my dress.
“He told me he was a cop. He had a badge and everything,” I say defensively.
“He wasn't a cop Dev. Did you even bother to actually look at the fucking badge?”
Now...I’m humiliated. How could I be so careless?
“Why are you here Tristan?”
He takes a step toward me, causing me to back up against the door. “Well...look who's playing dumb now?”
Oh no...
I reach behind me for the doorknob. “I can't do this.”
“Can't do what Dev?”
“You know what I mean, Tristan.”
He takes another step, closing the space between us now.
“No, I don't. You never actually tell me how you feel about me. You just run off and keep pushing me away. I'm sorry for what you saw that day in my apartment. That won't ever happen again. You have my word. So, tell me Dev...what exactly is it that you can't do?”
I need to get out of here before I let him in even more and told him exactly how I felt about him.
I need to get out of here before it hurt too much when he walks away...especially after he finds out the truth.
“I just can't do this,” I whisper as I slither out of his jacket.
In one fell swoop he pins me against the door and kisses me.
His kiss is like a tidal wave, taking me under and drowning me in him.
I gasp for air, as I reach for his neck and nibble on his bottom lip.
He groans as his hands caress over my breasts before traveling down my thighs.
“I can't...I can't,” I breathe as I try to catch my breath and stop the world from spinning.
“Can't what Dev?”
“I can't just have a one night stand with you. I know how you are Tristan. I've seen it with my own eyes. I can't stand the thought of you with someone else. I want you Tristan...too much. You can't give me what I need from you...so please let me go," I say while wishing the ground could just swallow me up whole as I fight back tears.
I've never been so vulnerable and exposed in front of someone else.
He leans his head down until his lips graze over my ear.
“What makes you think that one night with you would ever be enough for me? What makes you think I don't feel the exact same way about you? I want you Dev...only you. Now...shut up and stop fighting what neither one of us can resist," he growls before he kneels down in front of me.
His fingers hook onto the sides of my panties as his tongue teasingly licks my core through the lacy fabric.
I feel my entire body flutter with a need that I never knew existed.
“You have no idea how much I crave you,” he whispers as he lowers my panties to the floor and I step out of them.
He then gives me a wicked smirk as he tucks them away in his pocket.
I was now so wet it began seeping down my thighs.
I blush as he moans and slowly kisses his way up my thighs, tracing my trail of juices while sending tingles throughout my body.
His fingers spread me open for him and I hold my breath to stop from screaming as his tongue roams over my clit.
I throw my head back against the door as his tongue dives into my center and kneads my insides.
“Don't you dare hold back from me Dev,” he warns.
His tongue spirals across my clit causing me to see stars. I moan his name, as he begins sucking.
My hips buck against his mouth as I feel every ounce of my self-control fade.
I need to feel him inside me. I need it more then the air in my lungs. I can’t control it any longer.
“Tristan. Oh god, I need it,” I breathe as he stands up.
“Tell me what you need baby and I'll give it to you,” he says as he licks my bottom lip making me taste myself.
I sigh as I press myself against his erection. “You know what I need Tristan.”
He grabs my chin. “Let me hear you say it.”
He grinds his erection against me as I cry out in a combination of pleasure and agony.
“You want this baby?” he asks as he lowers his zipper and I hear the sound of a condom unwrapping.
I nod my head and reach for him.
He lightly pulls my hair, forcing me to look at him.
The pure dominance of the movement causes me to moan out loud again.
My entire body begins to vibrate with the power of my desire for him.
“If you want this cock deep inside you...then say it,” he growls as he lifts my legs and holds me up against the door.
There’s no point in holding back anymore.
“I need to feel you Tristan. I need you to fuck me...right here...right now.”
He meets my eyes as he thrusts himself inside me.
“Ohh...fuck,” I scream. The feeling of him inside me is so overwhelming, I gasp as I clench my walls around his length and come harder then I ever have in my life.
“Jesus Christ...Dev,” he groans as he slowly pulls back before slamming into me hard.
He moans as I raise my hips and meet him thrust for thrust.
“Let me see your tits,” he instructs before ramming into me again.
I quickly shove the top of my dress down and unclasp the front of my bra.
“I swear, every single part of you is so fucking beautiful,” he grunts as he plows into me.
I wrap my arms around his neck as he begins to pick up the pace.
My core throbs against his hip bones as he continues to immerse himself deep inside me.
I scream out his name as he brings me to another powerful climax, with him finding his own release shortly after.
Chapter 16
He leans his forehead against mine and tucks a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
Neither one of us have the strength to untangle from each other quite yet.
“I always knew that having sex with you would be amazing...but that was out of this world Dev,” he sighs as he softly presses his lips to mine.
I look down and blush.
Then it hit me.
“Oh my god. I can't believe I just had sex on the roof of some shady underground club dressed like a complete hooker."
His expression is a combination of both amusement and cockiness then.
“Do you regret it?” he asks as he slowly backs away from me and pulls up his pants.
I close my eyes and breathe in the scent of him as a smile spreads across my face. “No.”
His smile matches mine as he picks up his jacket and wraps it around me.
He reaches for my hand. “Good. Let's go baby.”
He leads me back down the dark hallway and down the two flights of stairs.
The club was still in full blown party mode when we walked back in.
He continues to hold my hand as he leads me past the bar and toward the exit of the club.
My eyes find Aaron's. He grins and waves goodbye.
We walk out to a sleek black car while some man wearing a suit and a hat hold the door to the backseat open for us.
“Tristan, where are you taking me?” I ask as he takes a seat beside me.
“Back to my place. I don't want you running away from me again or coming up with any more excuses as to why this can't happen."
He then presses a button and a divider scrolls down giving us some privacy from the driver.
“Why me Tristan?
You can have any woman in the world,” I whisper.
“You just don't get it. I've wanted you from the first moment I saw you on that roof. Every second that passed has only made me want you that much more. There's nothing in the world that could keep me away from you Dev. Not even you," he says while looking me right in my eyes.
Between the intensity of his words and his hand slowly making it's way up my thigh...I was spellbound.
For once...I didn't want to think.
I just wanted to feel everything that this man wanted to do to me.
I wanted to live in the moment.
He pushes my dress up and I bite my lip as he traces his finger down my abdomen.
“So beautiful,” he hums, as he dips a finger between my legs turning my insides to liquid.
The things he does to my body.
He pulls his finger out and sweeps it along his lips. “So sweet,” he whispers.
That's when the car stops abruptly.
I look out the window and realize that we had arrived at his apartment complex.
He gives me a quick kiss as he pulls my dress down and puts his jacket over my shoulders.
The driver opens the door for us and we make our way inside the building.
When we reach the elevator he pushes me up against the wall and kisses me with so much passion I become dizzy.
We walk into his apartment and he eagerly leads me to his bedroom.
The lights where dim, but from what I could tell it matched the rest of his place.
Sophisticated, elegant and huge.
He walks me to a large full length mirror in front of the dresser.
I close my eyes. I hate what I saw every time I looked in the mirror, but now was surely not the time to mention that.
He stands in back of me and lifts my dress above my head.
“Open your eyes,” he instructs.
I shake my head. He reaches around and unclasps the front of my bra, freeing my breasts before he begins to caress them.
“Open your eyes and watch how beautiful you are,” he whispers against my ear, as his hand drops down to my core.
