“Fuck,” Jaxon murmured, pressing his forehead to hers briefly before letting her go.
Teagan stumbled, her hand shooting out to press against the truck to steady herself and she was pretty sure no one noticed except maybe Britt, who waggled her eyebrows as she walked down to Brad’s car, which was parked in front of Jaxon’s.
“You need a cigarette, Teags?” she teased.
“She doesn’t smoke,” Brad answered for her, twirling his keys while he walked around to the driver’s side of his car.
Jaxon reached for the door and tugged it open. “I have some if you’re interested.” He grinned like the smug prick he was and Teagan rolled her eyes in the most unconvincing way possible as she scooted her bag over and let him help her into the seat.
He closed the door and sauntered around the front of the truck, opening the door and climbing inside.
“Don’t look so cocky,” she said.
“Why not? I have a good reason.”
“You fell on your ass when you saw me. I stumbled when you kissed me. I think I’m still winning.”
“We’ll see.” He grinned and turned the key in the ignition.
They followed Brad to the club, with Jaxon humming along to something on the radio. Teagan wriggled her toes in her shoes, smoothing her skirt over her lap while her knee bounced.
She kept sneaking glances at him and caught him looking at her too.
It was like it had been before she’d made things awkward. Maybe this could work? She had no reason to think he’d hurt her, right? She should still talk to him like Britt said. But now wasn’t the time. Now was the time for fun and she wasn’t about to ruin that to talk about feelings.
Speaking of feelings, she felt really beautiful, even more so when he looked at her like he was. She smiled at the thought, taking her bottom lip between her teeth in the process. It was almost a compulsion now.
“What did I say about that?” His voice was low. Too low. It made her thighs clench.
Arching an eyebrow she turned towards him. “Don’t really care, I’ll do what I want, Lawson.”
The look he gave her was so heated if they weren’t driving she’d have stripped off her panties right then.
Chapter Nineteen
As it was, she stared right back until he inevitably looked back to the road. His hand crept across the divide between them and she reached out as well, tangling her fingers with his. His thumb stroked hers until they arrived in the parking lot of the night club.
He parked near Brad and locked the truck with her purse in the floorboards. She took everything important out of it and handed it to him. He grudgingly put her driver’s license and credit card in his wallet. “I’m paying,” he stated like it was some kind of challenge.
“If you like,” she replied, holding out her hand and clasping his while they walked towards the front door.
They were waved inside by someone who knew Britt and catcalled the second the door opened by the guys waiting in the front of the line.
“Shut it,” the bouncer boomed, winking in Britt’s direction before ushering them inside.
Teagan squared her shoulders and ignored it. Jaxon didn’t, though. He pulled her flush against his side, whispering in her ear within seconds.
“You okay?”
“It happens,” she said.
“It sucks,” he replied.
“Yep.”
Jaxon paid the cover charge, all the while keeping one arm around her waist. They checked their coats and followed Britt and Brad into the main part of the building.
The club itself was dark except for the lights swirling on the dance floor and the ones illuminating the band. There were already couples out there and Britt was tugging Brad out with her.
