“I told you so. Listen to your girl, Diamond. She always knows what’s up.”
“Thanks, Di, I’ll remember that,” I said sarcastically.
Damn it. What was Knox looking at me like that for? Just because he gave me some ridiculous advice that I ignored, didn’t mean he could look at me like that.
“So, why’s he fucking you with his eyes?” Di voiced my thoughts exactly, but I still managed to place a look of shocked outrage on my face.
“Di!” I whispered. “Would you keep your voice down! I don’t want anyone getting the wrong–”
“Who’s fucking Knox?” Sierra questioned, appearing from thin air.
“Idea,” I finished glumly. “See what you’ve done?” I glared at Diamond.
“Skye’s fucking the bouncer,” Di said, with no remorse at all.
“Stop that. I’m not fucking him.”
“I dunno,” Jasmine suddenly joined us. “If anything, he’s fucking her.”
“Jasmine! You're meant to be the reasonable one,” I grumbled.
Topsy arrived as well, and the four girls huddled around me, their peering eyes almost enough to make me break.
“Are you lying to us, Skye?” Topsy asked, her lower lip trembling and her eyes as wide as the sun.
“Jesus,” I said in exasperation. “Fine, yes, but it was only once!”
“I knew it!” Diamond screamed, drawing the attention of several people around us.
“How was it?”
“Is he big?”
“What position?”
“Are you doing it again?”
I felt like a deer in the headlights as they bombarded me with all their questions.
“I’m not answering any of your questions,” I said firmly.
“Well, you’re no fun,” Di said glumly.
“Oh, leave her alone,” Jasmine chastised. “She’s probably struggling to walk after the night she had.”
The girls all laughed, and I felt like smacking them.
“It was a week ago, you bitch,” I grumbled.
They gasped in unison. “And you’re only telling us now?”
“Sorry, girls,” I said unapologetically. I was beginning to back away from the huddle, hoping they wouldn’t notice.
“Hold up, girl, you aren’t going anywhere.”
I held Diamond’s gaze and then flicked my eyes over to the others.
It was now or never, I supposed.
Without giving it a second thought, I bolted from the group, ignoring their calls behind me and sprinting out the nearest door, right into the alley behind G-stringer’s.
The cool night air hit me hard, and I shivered violently. Maybe I should have changed out of my lingerie before I left the building. The door swung open behind me, and I whirled around, ready to shout at whichever one of the girls had decided to follow me.
To my surprise, it was Knox who had come out behind me.
“What do you want, Knox? Is this about Cassetti again?”
“Maybe. It’s not really a good idea to run out into a back alley at two in the morning, all alone and practically naked. Maybe I just wanted to play knight.”
“I find that hard to believe. You’ve been staring daggers into me all night. The girls are starting to notice.”
Knox began stalking toward me slowly, his eyes never leaving mine.
“Did you want to keep me as your dirty little secret?”
I scoffed. He wouldn’t turn this around on me. Not if I could help it.
“Hardly. We both know it’s better if there’s nobody around to hassle us. That’s why you barely ever open your mouth to the others.”
“I open my mouth to you.”
“I’m aware. Maybe you shouldn’t.”
“Why? Scared I’ll seduce you again?”
“You?” I said indignantly. “You seduced me? Please!”
If anyone seduced anyone, it was me. Knox had been his usual stoic self, trying not to fall for my charms. I had known he couldn’t resist though, and I had been right. He’d fucked me like an animal, completely caveman style.
“It’s true. You were begging for it by the end.” He was right in front of me now, forcing me to look up to meet his gaze.
I clenched my eyes shut in anger and to avoid doing something stupid, like hitting him or kissing him.
“You couldn’t resist me if you tried,” he leaned in and whispered it into my ear, biting my ear lobe with the last word and exhaling hot breath onto my neck.
“That’s not how it happened.” I was trying to keep from panting, but it was taking all my efforts.
“You want me, admit it.”
The tip of his tongue stroked the side of my neck in one luscious motion, leaving behind a wet trail that felt colder in the night air.
I couldn’t help it. It seemed as if I had no control over my limbs as I wrapped my arms around his neck, forcing his head back and his lips to meet mine.
Knox responded immediately, our kiss manifesting into a clash of teeth, tongues, and passion as we battled for dominance. I wanted him to take me; there was no doubt about it. I knew he could make me reach orgasm after orgasm, and we would have mind-blowing sex. That didn’t mean I would make it easy on him.
His hands were clawing all over my body and pushing me closer to him, even though we were pressed against each other.
My bra was suddenly unclasped, and strong, callused hands cupped my breasts, kneading and teasing them. When he pinched my nipples, I let out a groan full of desire and impatience.
“Look at you, baby. Tits out for the world to see.”
Knox kept rubbing my breasts and grinding into me, the combined pleasure driving me insane.
“What would you do if anyone walked by? What would they think? Look at that slut, letting that man do those things to her.”
He let go of me suddenly, causing me to fall forward into him. He wrapped his arms around me, one at the back of my head and one on my waist, and brought his lips to mine again.
One of his hands slipped to my ass, tracing the minute piece of string on my thong, wedged between my ass cheeks. With little effort, he’d ripped the thong down my legs and tossed it behind him.
“Ever had a cock in your ass, baby?”
I shook my head, not trusting myself to open my mouth and scream instead of respond.
“We’ll save that for later, then.”
Knox kept grinding his denim-clad cock up against me, heating me up and making me rock harder into him. The friction was unbearable.
I needed him inside me.
My hands found their way to his jeans and unbuttoned them, pulling down the zipper to free his massive cock. I’d forgotten how big it was and momentarily paused.
Knox noticed instantly.
“Don’t worry, baby, it’s been inside you before.”
He placed one of my hands on his cock, with his hand directly on top so that we stroked his length in unison.
“Do you want it inside your pussy or in your mouth?”
I clenched my legs together at the thought, not knowing which one I’d prefer.
“Pussy it is,” Knox decided for me.
Pushing me up against the alley wall, Knox spun me around, so that my back was to him.
“Hands on the wall.”
I leaned forward deeply, placing my hands on the wall and spreading my legs.
“I can see your pussy. It’s all wet and shiny for me. I’ll slide right in.”
Knox was rubbing the head of his cock up and down my slit, coating it in my juices and giving it the occasional stroke for good measure.
“Knox,” I groaned in frustration.
“Did you want something, baby?” he asked innocently.
“Stop stalling, you ass!”
“I don’t know what you mean.” He thrust into me completely, imbedding himself to the hilt and pausing.
‘Move!” I shouted.
“If you insist.”
He began thrusting inside me, b
ut to my absolute displeasure, his thrusts were slow and luxurious, as if we had all the time in the world.
Well, two could play that game.
I clenched my inner muscles as hard as I could around him and physically felt him jerk inside me.
“What are you up to, baby? You think you can tease me?”
His hands gripped my hips and held me in place, but I thrust back against him as hard as I could, trying to reach the peak of my orgasm. I clenched around him again, and this time he grunted in disapproval.
“Do you want me to punish you?” Knox pulled out of me completely, leaving me cold and longing. The next thing I knew, his palm came down hard on my ass, a stinging sensation that spread through me. I was surprised to find that I actually liked it.
He spanked me four more times, and each time, I arched my back further, showing without a doubt how much I enjoyed it.
“Your ass is so cute when it’s pink from my hands. Are you ready to behave now?”
“Yes, I’ll be good. Please, Knox.”
“All right, baby.”
Knox slipped the head of his cock inside me, which I responded to with a whimper. He didn’t thrust in hard like before, but fed his length through inch by inch as I struggled not to thrust back on him.
“Good girl,” he purred into my ear.
With that, he started hammering into me, pulling my hair so that my head tipped back and his teeth had access to my neck. He sank his teeth into my skin, and I cried out at the assault on my senses.
“Come for me. Now!”
And I did. I exploded around him, with the most intense orgasm I’d ever had. I was grateful he was holding onto me, because I, no doubt, would have collapsed on the floor in a heap otherwise. Knox came soon after, his cum filling me up to the brim, as every last drop was wrung from his body.
“Fuck,” I said, now that my senses had returned to me. “Get off me.”
Knox removed himself from inside me and pulled up his jeans, which had been lowered to his thighs. Not for the first time, I realized that I was naked and he was still fully clothed.
“This can’t happen again.”
“Why not?” Knox frowned. “We both enjoyed it.”
“I need to play nice with Cassetti. I’m putting the security deposit down for a new club space, and I’m already in over my head with him. If he has anything on me at all, I know he’ll turn it around so I won’t get the space. I can’t let that happen.”
“So, you’re just going to pretend I didn’t fuck you in an alley?”
“No,” I gritted my teeth together. “I’m just telling you it won’t happen again.”
“We’ll see,” he smirked and turned back to the door to the club, closing it behind him with a thud.
Great, I thought. I was naked, alone, and still had cum dripping down my legs.
I waited a few moments until I opened the door and peered through, checking that the coast was clear before I made a mad dash to the nearest room. I thanked Diamond silently for her emergency kit, yet again, as I cleaned myself up and threw on a change of clothes.
Why had I given into Knox again? I should’ve stayed well away from him, like I’d planned, and should’ve done in the first place. For years now, I’d been planning to open my own club, and all of the work I’d put in could have gone down the drain in moments. Knox was right, in a way, when he’d said to stay away from Cassetti. I wasn’t an idiot. I knew that Cassetti was trouble. I also knew that opening my own club was the only thing that had kept me going for a long time. I wasn’t about to throw in the towel now.
Leaving the safe haven of the room, I made my way outside, hoping that most people had left the club by now. My girls had all left, by the looks of it, but the bar tender was hanging around, along with a couple of other girls, and Knox, himself. I couldn’t stop myself from eyeing him up and down as he spoke to one of the other dancers.
Felicity was small, blonde, and a complete slut. She was batting her eyelashes up at him, flirting like there was no tomorrow.
“Ha! Nice try,” I muttered under my breath, knowing Knox barely spoke to anyone and would surely just brush her off.
To my surprise, and immense displeasure, he smiled broadly at her, and they shared a quiet laugh. I felt my insides melt at the sound, a low deep rumble that he’d never granted me before.
What the fuck.
Was I jealous? Of Felicity?
There was no way. Knox could flirt with whoever he wanted, I didn’t care.
I stalked off in a huff before anyone could notice, though I could’ve sworn that Knox’s eyes flickered over to me once.
This was perfect. I knew it was a bad idea to start anything up with Knox. All it would lead to was a distraction and strange bouts of unexplainable jealousy.
He was an enigma; that much was for certain. I didn’t even know why he was a bouncer and working at a shitty club like G-stringer’s. Most people here were trying to get out of their lives and situations, but I had no idea what he was after.
Clubs like ours attracted strange sorts of people. I wasn’t scared to admit that I was fucked up when I started working there. My sister had just committed suicide, and I decided to ditch the straight and narrow and earn a living my own way. If the honest life wasn’t enough to save my sister, then what was the point in staying in a lie I hated?
Thankfully, I fell in love with being a dancer and the idea of a club. Working at G-stringer’s had taught me many things, but most of all it was that I should never live a life just because it was expected or easy.
Diamond had a similar story, trying to raise a kid after the dad died. Sierra was trying to put herself through school, and Topsy was looking after her dad.
Knox, on the other hand, was a complete mystery and one that I couldn’t help but be drawn to. It didn’t take a genius to figure out that some mysteries, ones like Knox, were better left unsolved. I couldn’t deal with a distraction, but, after my sister, I also couldn’t deal with heartbreak. And boy did Knox have that tattooed all over his sexy body.
Chapter Six
Knox
“That’s so funny!” the girl squealed, batting her eyes and doing a ridiculous hair flip that, by all means, should have given her whiplash. Unfortunately for me, she just kept on beaming at me and giggling, like what I was saying was the height of hilarity. I hadn’t even said anything to warrant a response like that. I wasn’t sure how stupid the guys she was normally around were, but I knew for a fact that she could never be this genuinely interested in my lack of stimulating conversation.
After I’d walked away from Skye, the girl came out of nowhere and bombarded me, asking me if I’d liked her set that night. I couldn’t even remember her name. Alicia? Lindsey? I muttered something about how I was sure she’d been fine, and she’d acted like I’d said she was the best dancer anyone would ever see.
“Did you really think so?” she’d asked.
“Sure,” I said, looking around absently and trying to find a way out of the conversation.
“You know, all the girls think that you’re the most exciting thing to happen to this place since we got new poles last year, and that’s saying a lot.”
“Wow.”
I tried so hard to keep the sarcasm from my voice and was so sure that I would fail, but, apparently, I needn’t have worried.
“Except Skye. She said she wouldn’t go near you with a ten-foot pole.”
That caught my attention. Of course, anyone that mentioned Skye immediately flagged my interest, but I could tell that this bit of information was going to make my day.
“Did she really?”
“Yeah, I overheard her talking to one of the other girls. But, it’s not as if you would ever go for her either.”
She let out a high-pitched giggle, and I couldn’t help the loud laughter that came out of my mouth. This entire situation was hilarious. If only she knew how we’d fucked like animals, not once, but twice, and that one of those times was less than ten minute
s ago, in a dirty alleyway a few steps from where we were standing.
The girl slid closer to me, tracing a single finger up and down my arm. I could tell she was trying hard to be sexy and seductive, but all I wanted to do was release a shudder and back away from her.
