“Vlad,” she replied simply. “I spoke to him in Romanian and told him my name.”

Of course, she did.

“And downstairs?” I growled through clenched teeth. “They don’t speak Romanian down there.”

She opened the little silver clasp of her clutch and pulled out an ID.

I snapped it up and inspected it closely in the dim lighting.

A fake.

“Jewel and I flashed those and got a couple drinks,” she confessed flippantly. I swear, the urge to turn her over on my lap and give her a spanking was riding me hard. “We danced between ourselves until we drank enough to get a buzz since we had no idea if you guys would let us drink once we got upstairs,” she volunteered without prompting, blinking her wide eyes up at me oh-so-fucking innocently.

Innocent, my ass. Every word out of her mouth made my stomach twist into tighter knots. I knew they weren’t careful down there. We ran a business, not a day care center, and keeping little girls out was not on the agenda. The idea of a random douche pawing her on the dance floor clouded my vision with red sparks of fury. Clearly, someone fell down on the job if she wasn’t being watched.

“How did you get out of your house? Where’s Cristo? He could show up here any moment, you know.”

“He doesn’t know I’m here. He thinks I’m staying over in Jewel’s dorm room. I convinced him that it would be safe. They have guards at the front gate, patrolling the campus grounds, and at the entrance of her dorm. I also promised to be good.”

“If this is what you call being good—”

“Aaand,” she interrupted me. “I happen to know that Cristo is going to a party with his new girlfriend. I seriously doubt he would appreciate being called in to pick me up after the week he’s had.”

“You don’t know your brother very well if you think him coming here to irritate me and Nicu would put a damper on his night.”

An indentation appeared between her brows. Shaking my head, I dragged my gaze down to her breasts that were lifting and rising in harsh breaths. “And what the fuck are you wearing?”

She gave me a little pout, flouncing the flimsy strips of gossamer barely covering her chest. “What, this little ole dress? You don’t like it?”

This girl was trying to kill me. She’d been born with the primary objective to kill me, and she was nearly succeeding.

My hand reached up, clenched midway, but then kept moving against my will and circled the column of her throat. “I like it too much. Problem is, so does every other male in the vicinity, and considering the mood I’m in, they’ll be thrown out on their asses if they keep staring at your tits.”

Her eyes flared wide. After a little lick, her tiny white teeth sank into her lush bottom lip, making me groan.

What was she doing to me, with her bedroom eyes, her sexy dress, and her sultry voice? Yeah, that was a rhetorical question if ever there was one. If I didn’t know better, I’d think this little girl was making a move on me. God, I’d give anything to have that to be true. I must want it because I’m conjuring this out of nowhere. Knowing I was losing my mind, I dropped my hand and took a step back.

A flare of distress passed over her face.

Suddenly, her hand shot out and grabbed my tie. Gripping it tightly, she stopped my movement backward. We stood suspended for a long moment, both staring down at her slim fingers crushing silk.

She tugged once. What did she want?

My torso leaned forward, desperate to follow her prompt.

Her eyes glinted with purpose.

She tugged again. Okay, that one answered my question.

Me, she wanted me.

Her scent wrapped around me like I wanted her lips wrapped around my cock, pulling me in, in, in.

“Don’t play with me,” I warned, breathing heavily. My brother was right outside, in the main room. Anyone could walk around the corner and find us in this compromising position. I should pull away, but my will was in shambles. Seconds away from cracking, it was imperative that I left before I did something irrevocable.

“I’m taunted to do bad,” I confessed. “I mean, I really want to lean into the bad.”

She pushed herself off the wall, raised up on her tiptoes, and pressed her lips against mine.
