“Turn around,” Mase demands.
Hazel eyes greet me when I look up, because even in heels, Mase is way taller than me. I look like a miniature doll compared to him.
“What?” I move to look around him. “Gloria gone already?”
“I told her to fuck off. Why did you send her my way?”
I shrug. “She was wondering if you were tired of me. I told her you were all hers, given her extensive sexual history with you and all that.”
He glares at me. Maybe reminding him about Gloria and the past will make him back off. I’m not trying to be petty, and maybe Mase thinks I’m throwing a shot at him about bringing up their sexual past, but it’s the truth. He has screwed her way more than he has me. I was easy to forget and probably not memorable compared to the more experienced girls he’s had sex with.
His jaw tics in anger. “Why would you say that to her?”
I lick my lips and he tracks the movement with his eyes.
“So, are you saying you don’t have an extensive sexual history with Gloria? Come on. You guys were practically a couple. Do you know how many times I had to hear the details of how you guys fucked around?”
He flinches. He knows I had to endure listening to the details being thrown around among the guys when I was secretly in love with him. How it hurt to hear it confirmed that he fucked her and the things he did with her, wishing he did those things to me.
“Why was Gabe Kitsch all over you?”
“Why not? He doesn’t like Gloria and her type of friends. He said he isn’t into the group thing and prefers one girl at a time. Which is a plus in my book. He also asked Aiden if it was cool to ask me out.”
His teeth clench. “What did you say?”
I want to be honest since they obviously know each other and Gabe seems like a nice guy. “I didn’t say anything. He left when he saw you charging your way over here like a bulldozer. He doesn’t want any problems with the Kings, obviously.”
He sighs and fishes a lighter from his pocket and lights a rolled blunt I didn’t realize he was holding. A few seconds later, a cloud of smoke whirls around us while we stand near Khalani. She plays Pop Smoke and guys from the frat go crazy singing the lyrics.
The party is in full swing, with bodies dancing and people milling around kissing and dry humping in different corners.
Mase takes another hit of the blunt and tilts his head, taking in the dress I’m wearing. His gaze caresses me from the tip of my shoes all the way back up to my face.
The burning red tip of the blunt lights up as he takes another drag and blows smoke above us. The smoke of marijuana permeates the surrounding area. His finger lifts my chin, and he inches closer. He lowers my bottom lip with the pad of his thumb and blows the smoke into my mouth.
I inhale slowly and exhale the smoke, feeling the euphoria hitting me. My body relaxes, and I place my hands on his hard chest to hold me steady.
His head angles close to my ear. “You look beautiful tonight,preciosa. Are you going to show me those tats you’ve hidden from me?”
His left hand slides to the opening on the back of my dress, caressing my exposed ink-covered skin. My nerves ignite, sending tingles all over my body and down my legs. “I’m dying to look.”
“Thank you, but I’m not sure that is a good idea.”
He grins. “Why not? I’ve already memorized everything else.”
My cheeks heat and my nipples strain inside my dress. I hope he can’t see them through the fabric. As if sensing what I’m thinking, he looks down at my dress.
He is openly flirting with me, and he doesn’t give a damn that Aiden is here or that everyone is watching how intimate we look out in the open.
“Soon, I will be hardly a memory.”
He takes another drag of the blunt and leans closer. This time I open my mouth and the tip of his tongue grazes my bottom lip. He blows more smoke inside my mouth, causing me to cough this time. His hand glides between my shoulder blades, caressing me.
My eyes water and I’m instantly high. I inhale deep and I cannot lie to myself, I’m instantly aroused. My thighs clench together with the feel of his hands on my back. The feel of his hard-muscled chest under my fingers makes me want to take him to the nearest corner and rip his shirt off.
I turn around, my back to Mason’s front, and see Aiden next to Khalani, kissing her and staking his claim in front of the crowd. Instinctively, he peeks our way between kisses and glares at Mason. Does he know? The way he gives Mason a hard stare has me wondering if Mason made good on his promise to come clean and tell Aiden.
