I part my lips to respond, but my cell phone buzzes in my lap. Again. “Shit.”
Hayden: I’m coming to get you.
“Shit.” I scan the text again, just to make sure I’m reading it correctly. Maybe Iamdrunk. “I’m sorry,” I say to Levi. “My older brother is very protective. And very annoying. He won’t stop texting me until he hears from me. Just give me a second.”
“Take your time.”
Calista: First of all, Mr. Bennett, you shouldn’t know where I am. And if you do, we need to talk about fucking boundaries. Second, I’m busy, so this conversation can wait until toomorrrow.
Calista: tomorrow* whoops.
Hayden: First of all, language. Second, boundaries don’t exist between us. Third, stop drinking.
Calista: *orders another motherfucking drink* ??
Hayden: That better be a glass of motherfucking water. I don’t want you throwing up in my car when I take you home.
Calista: I’m not going anywhere, so leave me alone. Unlike you, there’s a man here who’s actually interested in me.
Hayden: If he touches you, what I did last time will seem like a joke in comparison.
Calista: ?? I’m not answering you anymore tonight. Kindly fuck off, Mr. Bennett.
Hayden: I’m definitely fucking something, Miss Green.
I toss the phone in my purse and turn to look at Levi, praying the arousal streaking through me isn’t plain to see. Verbally sparring with Hayden might be the hottest, most thrilling thing I’ve ever done. I’m more turned on than I’ve ever been in my entire life. All from his texts. Freaking ridiculous.
“Did you convince your brother that you’re in good hands?” Levi smiles broadly, and the lights above showcase his perfectly straight teeth. “I would hate for him to worry about you.”
I huff. “I don’t want to talk about my brother. Didn’t you mention dancing?”
“Absolutely.”
Levi takes my hand and leads me from the booth and onto the dance floor. Harper and Darren are quick to follow, but I immediately forget about my friend when Levi takes my hips and pulls me flush to him. His muscled chest and rock hard thighs press against my spine and legs, making me all too aware of how sexual dancing can be.
I sway to the music and Levi is there, his breath skimming my neck and his fingers gripping me tight. Only, in my mind it’s Hayden. My body’s reaction to that imagery is strong. My panties, already wet from our texting, become drenched at the idea of him holding me like this, with his cock brushing my ass and his lips trailing down the side of my neck.
“You’re so fucking hot,” Levi says in my ear.
I turn to look at him over my shoulder, still moving in time with the thumping bass. “Thank you.”
He grinds into me, his fingers digging into my dress to keep me close. To control me. I let him, wanting to be relieved of the burden that comes with choice. Since my new life began, I’ve done nothing except make hard decisions, but tonight I’m letting someone else lead me. There’s a freedom in this that I never appreciated until now.
However fleeting and insignificant, I’m going to soak it in.
Levi spins me to face him, and I nearly stumble. He holds me securely, smiling down at me while guiding my arms around his neck. Then his chest is pressed to mine, and his cock is nestled between my thighs.
Dancing is definitely sexual.
Not that I mind. It’s nice to be seen and appreciated as a woman. That’s something I wish Hayden would do.
“Can I kiss you, Calista?” Levi asks, his breath skimming my mouth.
I stare up at him, looking into his brown eyes while wishing they were blue. Has Hayden ruined me for other men? I don’t have the answer to that, but on the off chance it could be true, I need to get over him. And remove this strange hold he has on me.
When I nod, giving Levi my permission, I’m doing it without thinking of Hayden.
Only for him to appear just behind Levi as he lowers his head to kiss me.
