I am not sure when it had all started to go wrong.
Maybe at the fifth round of drinks? But most definitely when Sarah had locked lips with one of the tourists. She had been dancing with him for a full hour, her body gyrating up and down his on the small dance floor and then she had wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his head down to hers.
I had been at the bar getting another drink and chatting with Teddy when the air had literally crackled. I had felt rather saw Bat move . One second he was sat on the stool he had been on all night and the next he was flying across the room. Another black cut wearing man close on his heels. Shouting a warning for people to get out the way.
Bats caught Sarah around the waist , lifting her bodily away from her admirer. “I told you not to f*****g start tonight Sarah” He was yelling at her. His words easily understood even over the heavy bass. “What the f**k are you thinking.” He turned with a growl. “Get out of here , you are barred. Don’t make me tell you twice.” He added when the smaller man paused.
“What the hell Bat, Get off me.”
“What are you playing at?” His voice was lower as he carried her back to the bar.
“I am blowing off steam, you know getting laid. Same as you have been trying to all night. Don’t give me that look either.” Sarah rounded on him, hands on her hips as she snarled at him. “Or at least I was trying to. Until you butted in . Scaring away all the decent men by being the big asshole you are.”
“Trying to get laid?” He pronounced each word individually as if he had never heard of anything so stupid in his life.
“Yes you know , have s*x”
He face locked down and I had to hide my smile at his expression by taking a sip from my drink. I caught Teddy’s eyes and he shook his head. A clear here we go again. Obviously this wasn’t the first time this had happened.
“I know what you mean Sarah, but why here and why a f*****g tourist of all people?”
“Because none of the club will even look at me, would you prefer I go and seduce one of the prospects? “ She made a move to walk away and his hand closed around her waist. “Don’t you dare Sarah.”
“Why not? You don’t want me.” She sounded bitter and tears glistened in her eyes.
“Sarah this isn’t the time or the place for this conversation, babe.” He caught himself in time. “Teddy I’m gonna get the girls home , Sarah’s had to much to drink. I’ll take your truck.” He tossed his keys over to the other man and caught the pair thrown back to him.
And that was what it was like the whole ride home, I didn’t say a word although I was pretty sure they wouldn’t have heard me even if I did. They were too busy sniping at each other . At one point I thought I heard Sarah sob.
Shit.
They were really messed up.
They were still shouting at each other when I slid out the back of the truck and made my way into the house.
It was quiet. Which was strange. But I had to admit it made a nice change. It was all so busy and boisterous but not tonight. It would be great to wrap myself up in Jetts T-shirt and fall asleep in silence.
I would have to check on sarah tomorrow somehow but I knew that Bat wouldn’t hurt her. He was as torn up about her as she was him. For now I just wanted to sleep. Leaning my head against the door , I locked it. I didn’t think anyone would try and hurt me here but it was better to be safe then sorry.
“Hey gorgeous.”
I whirled, clutching at my throat as my heart thundered in my chest. “Jett?”
“Have you missed me?” A low lamp flicked on and there he was. His dark hair looked damp like he had just stepped out the shower. His chest bare, his jeans undone at the waist. I had never seen him look so handsome.
“What are you doing back?” The air in the room seemed suddenly thick , I pressed my back against the door.
“There was no way I could stay away knowing your were wearing that,” He stalked towards me in his bare feet. “No way anyone but me got to peel you out of that dress.”
“Jett..” I couldn’t breath. Couldn’t get my words out. He seemed to take up all the oxygen. It was now.
I launched myself at him, and he caught me easy. Lifting me up to his mouth as if I weighed nothing. My legs wrapped around his waist, not caring that the dress rode up and bared my ass for the world to see as our lips crashed together. Our breathing mingled. Both hands kneading my bare ass as I rubbed myself against him.
The kiss was nothing like I had ever experienced, it was almost primal. He devoured my mouth with his.
“Are you sure?” He mumbled into my lips. Each word more growl than word.
Was I sure?
Couldn’t he feel how wet I was for him? He must be able to.
“I’m sure.”
“Thank god.” And he crushed his lips back over mine.
