“No.” I scowl, even though it couldn’t be more obvious. I’m fed up with him thinking I am this helpless girl he must protect. A girl who can’t look after herself.
“Okay.” He nods at a waitress as she approaches, and she leans down so he can whisper in her ear.
Fire pricks at my veins as she giggles and places her hand on his chest before walking off.
I glare at him through slitted eyes as she returns and places two clear drinks down in front of us. Dax thanks her, but his eyes stay trained on mine.
“So. Not your first time then?” His eyes glitter as he stares at me.
He’s enjoying this.Jerk.
“Nu-uh.” I pick up my glass and down half of it, hiding the smile on my face as Aunt Iris’s blend hits my tongue, the lemon and tonic in the glass complimenting it perfectly. The last thing I want is for him to think I approve of him choosing my drinks for me, even if he does pick well.
Dax swirls the gin in his glass before taking a sip, his eyes on my face the entire time.
“You won’t mind if I buy a dance, then?”
“Be my guest,” I snort, sitting back and folding my arms over my chest.
“Good.” He smiles.
Images of me getting on my feet and slapping it off his face fill my head, and I smile back.
“Good,” I echo.
Stupid jerk. If he thinks I’m going to sit here and be bothered by one of these women grinding on him, he’s got another thing coming.
I do not care.
“Which one?” He tilts his chin, turning to look around the room.
I tear my eyes away from his neck tattoo and follow his gaze.
“How about her? The blonde with the big tits? I like blondes.”
I screw my nose up and shake my head as he smirks at me.
“Or what about her? The redhead in the leather dress? I bet she’s got some dirty moves.”
He sniggers as I scowl.
“You pick, Sunbeam. Tell me who you would choose.”
My body tenses at the challenge held in his darkened gaze.
“Fine,” I snap.
I look around the room. All the women here are beautiful. There are a mix of figures. Some curvier than others, some with huge breasts spilling from tiny skin-tight dresses. Others with smaller chests, and incredible toned abs on display in cutaway lace outfits.
“Her.”
I look over at the beautiful girl with porcelain skin and long, dark hair. It’s poker straight and shines like glass. She’s wearing less makeup than most of the other girls. She doesn’t need it. She has a natural beauty that makes her look better with less. And I like her outfit. It’s a pink silk fitted dress with a thigh high split and matching scarf. But the material is covered in black flowers and birds.
Similar to something else I’m drawn to, despite wanting to fight it more than ever tonight.
I look back at Dax as he purses his lips and sweeps his gaze over her appreciatively. Something acidic simmers low in my gut.
“Good choice, Sunbeam. She’s stunning.”
