And it’s not about Rhys. Or at least, not entirely about him. For the first time, I’m starting to question my relationship in a real way.

“He shouldn’t trustthem.” He answers gruffly, his voice hoarse. “Not when you look stunning enough to take my fucking breath away.” His hand lands featherlight on my hip and drags across my lower back as he keeps circling me. His fingers brush the top curve of my ass. “Not when your legs are on display like this, begging to be spread and your pussy eaten.” His hand reaches out surreptitiously to grab my right wrist. “He’s a fool for leaving you alone and simply hoping that no one would steal you away.” His smile is predatorial as he looks at me. “Because I won’t stop until you belong to me.”

“Stop.” I ask, “Please.”

“Why? Does it make you uncomfortable to know the lengths I would go to to have you?”

“To have me temporarily.” I correct him, and I want to take the words back as soon as I say them.

They reveal too much.

“Is that the problem?” He says, so close that I feel his breath on my hair. “Can you tell me honestly that you’re looking for another relationship? To fall in love with someone else?”

When I stay silent, he continues.

“You’re not. What you want is to be fucked.” He says, whispering close to my ear. “Fucked by me that is.”

“You’re being inappropriate again.”

“Am I?” He asks before raising the hand that holds my wrist up between us. “Because I’ve had my thumb on your pulse for the past two minutes and your heartbeat jumps every time I talk about fucking you. Your body wants me even when your brain denies it.”

I scoff.

“I say we ignore our brains and just let our bodies fight it out. Preferably naked and with me on top, but I’ll take it any way you’ll give it.” He says with a sly smirk.

“No.” I’m impressed at how firmly my words come out. I was afraid my voice would shake and reveal something I wasn’t ready to reveal.

He looks at me languidly, his eyes saying everything and nothing all at once. For a few beats we stand unmoving, letting the music around us sweep away any awkwardness that a silence would have brought. He looks into my eyes like he thinks he might find the answer to me in them.

How to convince me, how to seduce me, how to decode me.

I can’t bear the silence any longer.

“Dance with me.”

“No.”

I frown. “Because I won’t do what you want?”

“Because if I touch you right now Thayer, in that dress, in this club and to this song,” He says, licking his lips hungrily, the move sending a shot straight to my clit, “I won’t be able to stop myself. I’ll eat you out on this bar before I bend you over that couch and fuck you until you scream my name.” He takes a step towards me, grabbing the back of my neck and using it to bring my face up to his. “Myname. My real name. And you’ll do it so loudly and so vehemently people will think you discovered a new deity.”

“You’d do that in front of all these people?”

“No. I’d buy the bar first and kick everyone out.”

“Really?” I ask, breathily.

His eyes darken and the casual smile on his lips wipes off his face. “Don’t play with me.”

“I’m not.”

“I told you once that you’d pay for the lies you told me. The bill is racking up and I’m not sure you’re ready to pay the price.” He says, releasing me and taking a step back.

I swallow thickly, looking away from him and back towards the dance floor.

“I’m going dancing.” I say, because what else can I say to him. I start walking off but he grabs my wrist, holding me in place.

“Remember what I said,” He tells me, “No one touches you.”
