Everyone laughs, and Chaos does not take his gaze away from mine as he flips him off before speaking to me.
“You got here alright?”
I cast a glance at Reign alongside us before returning my focus to Chaos and giving a tiny nod. He looks at Reign, his smirkslowly fading, and they exchange handshakes before he returns his focus to me. His face is now expressionless, as if he knows that something is wrong and he raises his chin before backing away, our stares locked until he turns around to face everyone. While I am just watching him, Reign talks alongside me.
“One thing you'll learn with Chaos is that he picks up on bullshit pretty quickly.”
Before responding, I let out a defeated sigh.
“He has only just gotten here, and you handled it.”
He remains silent once again and I pick up my drink, gulp it down in one swallow, and wrinkle up my face with a cough.
“You'll be fucked by the end of the night.”
As I respond to Reign, I set the empty cup down beside me.
“That's the plan—to be fucked.”
I hear him snicker and see him shake his head from the corner of my eye when I notice Chaos eventually approaching me. As soon as he is close enough, he wraps his arm over the bottom of my back and kisses my lips forcefully before speaking against them.
“We're taking this to the bar.”
I give a small nod with a smile as he drags me off the counter, and as soon as I am on my feet, he takes my hand and pulls me towards the bar area. When we all walk in, I take in the big room where there is a small bar, several seats, and a snooker table. The music is instantly turned on, and some of the guys become boisterous as they make a concoction of drinks at the bar.
Chaos continues to tug me behind him until we reach the chairs at the back of the vast room, where he slumps back and yanks me down with him. I sit on his lap with my arm around his shoulder and gaze down at him while he runs his hand over my exposed stomach and squeezes my waist.
“What the fuck happened? Tell me.”
Before I respond, I shake my head.
“It's not a big deal, Chaos. A drunk in a petrol station tried to rob me.”
His brow furrows in surprise.
“I hope Reign kicked his fucking ass.”
As I trace my palm up his bare, tattooed chest, I sigh.
“That is exactly what he did.”
His brown eyes glitter with amusement, and I hear Lucy call out to me as she comes this way.
“Here's another drink, Char.”
I turn my head, smile at her while taking it from her hand and she lifts an eyebrow with a giggle, glancing between Chaos before walking away. Chaos speaks just as I'm about to take a sip.
“What in the fuck have they got you drinking?”
I shrug and place it under his nose for him to smell and as soon as he sniffs it, his brow arch while pulling his head back.
“Yeah, that shit will get you fucking hammered.”
I smirk against the cup.
“That's the plan.”
He stares me in the eyes, reaching for his joint behind his ear, sets it between his lips before lighting it, and as he breathes out the smoke, he calls out to one of the guys.
