Happy New Year!?
The cheers erupt from around us. But I’m immune to the noise, solely focused on the lips devouring mine.Lennox.?
We’re all out celebrating Nox’s first official fight in a club in downtown Charlotte. The club is attached to the arena and a hotel, so it’s a convenient spot for people to party. It’s crowded in here, and Nox claimed he didn’t want me venturing off alone. Considering there were only three minutes till the ball drop, and all our friends were gearing up for their New Year's kisses, I knew what his intentions were when he jumped at the opportunity to escort me. I was just waiting for him to make the first move.So fucking hot.?
I’ve been a whirlwind of emotions today, to say the least. Between the anxiety leading up to the fight, the adrenaline once he was finally in the ring, and the complete joy and overwhelming pride when Nox won by a knockout in the second round. But now, lust takes over, and all I can think about is how good Nox’s lips feel on mine, and the tingle that travels over my skin when he presses his hard body closer.?
We’re in a darkened nook off the bathroom hallway. Maybe a coat check overflow, but I can't seem to focus enough to care.?
“Fuck, Sonny,” he pants when our lips eventually part.?
“Happy New Year.” I smile, just as breathless. He grinds into me, causing a small moan to escape my lips. Then his mouth comes crashing to mine once more, as if to swallow my moan, and I let him. We’re a mess of crashing lips and arms, trying to grab hold of each other and pull one another as close as humanly possible. His large hand coasts up my thigh and dips between our bodies.?
A bright light flicks on above us, breaking us out of the moment.?
“Oh, shit. Sorry,” we hear, and I glance over to see someone in uniform standing in the doorway. He’s young, probably our age, and when he reaches for a case of liquor, I deduce that he helps out behind the bar.Oh, we’re in a liquor closet.?
“Uh, so you guys can’t be in here… I must’ve left the door unlocked,” the guy says as he studies us in our precarious position.?
My back is pressed into the wall, my already short skirt hiked up even higher, allowing my legs to wrap around his torso, and my cheeks are most certainly tinged red. Nox’s hair looks as if he stood in a wind tunnel from the way my hands raked through it, and I'm pretty sure mine is no better.?
Nox slowly lowers my body to a standing position, and then discretely readjusts his pants. All the while, I try my best to fix myself before heading back to the table filled with all our friends. Our very nosey, intuitive friends.?
“Thanks, man,” Nox says when we walk out of the closet. I can't contain the small chuckle that erupts once we're in the hallway.?
“That was hot.” I smile up at him.?
“Don’t think for one second our night ends there.”?
“Of course not, Champ.” I pat his chest, then drop his hand when our table comes into view. I hear his small protesting growl beside me, but I pay it no mind. He knows what I’m looking for, so the ball is in his court. I'm not going to beg him to fuck me… Well, maybe I’m not above begging at this point.The way I'm wound so tight, I just might.?
When we reach our table, I quickly ask Lottie to join me on the dance floor, knowing the dim light will help disguise my flushed face. Within minutes, we’re out on the floor, letting the lights and the music take over. Frankie joins us not long after, and all three of us dance our hearts out.?
A warm palm wraps around my hip, the touch not confident enough to be Nox’s. I peek over my shoulder to see a decently handsome guy dancing behind me. But it’s not this stranger’s hands I want wrapped around me tonight, so I take a step away from him, hoping he’ll catch the subtle hint that I’m not his to touch. However, he steps closer yet again.?
Lottie eyes me, silently asking if I need help. I just shake my head and dance in circles, arms raised high, ignoring his presence altogether. Then his hand grabs mine and pulls me flush to his body, lowering his lips to mine. What the actual fuck? Take a hint, man.?
Before I can even protest, Nox’s even larger form appears behind the stranger. He taps on the guy's shoulder aggressively and growls something I can’t quite make out, and within a blink, he’s gone. Leaving a pissed-off Nox in his place.?
“Thanks for that.” I nod at the stranger’s retreating back. But Nox doesn’t say anything; he just stays with an angry look plastered on his beautiful face.?
“Why are you still mad?” I whisper to him.?
“I don’t like anyone touching you.”?
“Oh please, I was about ready to tell that guy to fuck off. I can take care of myself.”?
“His hands were on you… He was about to kiss you.”?
