JAXTON’s POV CONTINUATION!
“f*****g hell,” I muttered a curse under my breath.
She freaking caught me.
She caught me staring at her intensely and there is no way I can deny it.
I can’t believe I was so damn obvious.
The words were caught in my throat and I just could not bring myself to utter a word. Not with her so close to me. The hold she has on me with just the aura oozing off her and the intensity in her gaze was crazy.
This is so fuxking crazy. I am Jaxton Trevino and no woman has ever made me lost for words like this woman just did. I can only imagine how Chris is going to make fun of me when I tell him about how I was so mesmerized by the beauty of a woman that I completely lost all train of thoughts and could not even form a coherent sentence in my head or even utter a word.
There was no way I would be letting a woman make me this way. No freaking way!
I cleared my throat slightly then readjusted my posture in front of her to appear more bold and self-confident.
“Well, you did look really bored dancing with him. And I just couldn't bare looking at you getting bored by that guy. s**t, he's so old he could actually be your father.” I joked as I glanced at the guy behind her.
"Well… Yeah. Truth is that he is actually my boyfriend and we are just going through some rough path.” she said then turned around and glanced at him for some seconds before turning back to me with a serious look on her face.
Holy s**t! How the f**k did I end up f*****g up this bad?
Curse me for not knowing how to c***k an actually funny joke.
“f**k!” I cursed low. “I..I... I am so sorry! I honestly... I had no idea he was your..” I began to stutter.
The serious look on her face immediately changed to a smile and she burst out in a peal of laughter.
What the f**k!!
I watched in confusion as she laughed and waited patiently for her to explain herself because I don’t quite understand why she is laughing right now.
"It is a joke. It was a joke...That dude is not my
boyfriend nor my father… I was only trying to tease you.” She said in between laughter. “Oh my God, you should have seen your face. You went from overconfident to seriously awkward and nervous in a freaking second. It was really funny.”
“Oh!” I muttered as I chuckled awkwardly.
She really did get me there.
I scratched the back of my head and smirked slightly as I watched her pull out the stool beside me and then sat on it.
“A vodka please.” She said to the bartender and he nodded then placed a shot glass in front of her and filled the glass with the spirit.
“Cheers.” She raised her glass and then turned to me with a small smile playing on her lips.
Damn! Those beautiful lips.
I rose my tequila glass up to meet her and we clinked our glass together then poured the burning liquid down our throats in one gulp.
Shit! That burned really bad.
I turned to her and then spoke again, “So I am guessing there is no boyfriend here tonight.”
The smile on her face suddenly vanished it was replaced with the same serious expression she was wearing earlier when I had made that dumb boyfriend joke.
She turned away from me and looked at the shot glass she was holding in her hand.
“Obviously, No.” She replied firmly with a small smile that gave everything but sincerity.
There is actually a boyfriend… There was a boyfriend, and from the looks of it, he is a bad one, obviously, for not holding on to a sexy girl like this. He probably never thought a starving wolf like me would find her and have a chance with her.
Fuck!
I don’t think that was not a good idea after all. I should not be counting my chickens before they hatch. I don’t think I should be messing around with her or anyone else right now. And by the looks of it, she probably is not up for some fun. f**k me. She does not look one bit interested in messing around with a stranger.
"Hmm..” I cleared my throat, breaking the silence. “I should probably go find my friend now so we can leave.” I pushed the still backward a little and proceeded to get off the stool.
“Wait!" She interrupted my movement by immediately placing her delicate and cold palm on my forearm, which sent my blood into a frenzy.
“Uhmmm...I wouldn't want to send the wrong signal to the old guy who is actually still looking this way. I don’t think my bodyguard should actually be leaving my side.”
The feeling of her hand mixed with the effect of the whiskey and Tequila I had been drinking since I arrived was seriously getting me hot and awake in the right places.
I looked down at her hands on my arm for some seconds before looking back up at her, and every time my eyes fell on her, all I could see were those full and beautiful plum lips that seemed really delicious and inviting, and I could only imagine how sweet they would taste.
“Fair point,” I said with a small laugh then settled back on the tool. “A professional bodyguard would not leave his client's side. Much less a really beautiful one.”
She smiled slightly and then looked away from me.
I guess I was getting some cool points right now considering her positive reaction.
“So… What is a stunning woman like you doing here all alone? What or who are you trying to forget for tonight?”
On reflex, she immediately removed her hand from my forearm and looked down at her cup once again.
At first, I thought I had been too obvious with my interest in her all of a sudden for her to remove her hand from my arm so fast. I was about to apologize when I saw her cheeks turning slightly pink. I don’t know if it was the effect of my words or the effect of the alcohol she had been drinking since she arrived at the nightclub.
Either way, I realized that I was, on the point of getting even more cool points.
She looked a little shy and that was making her look even sexier. Sexy than she already even looks. I sure like a woman who would not be embarrassed to take in a compliment completely.
"What about you? What or who are you trying to forget for the night?” She repeated my question without even glancing at me.
“Well... I was dragged here by some guy who ditched me the second he got attention from the first girl he laid his eyes on.” I started to say. “I guess he lied to me. I was expecting tonight to be full of fun, but it wasn’t, and I seriously lost all hopes until my eyes landed on a beautiful and super attractive woman who I had apparently saved from dancing with an old man with the intensity of my gaze.” I paused for a few seconds then let out a small chortle.
“And from one drink we went go for another one while criticizing the night, complaining about how slightly boring it is since were both in the same situation. Alone. From then we got to realize that it was actually not that boring since we got to meet each other and were being each other's companions for the night in this incredibly boring nightclub. So, what do you say? Have I answered your questions?” I finished saying.
She turned to me and then laughed out softly. That is the first sincere laugh I had seen on her since I laid my eyes on her earlier. The sound of her laughter sounded like music in my ear. She looked even more beautiful in my eyes than ever and I found myself gravitating toward her even more.
Everything about her is simply alluring and you just can’t help but be mesmerized by her beauty.
Her laughter was a childish but frank laugh that seriously turned me on for some absolutely weird reason.
You are sick Jaxton.
Her beautiful eyes finally rose to meet mined and
she smiled softly, “You never told me you could also see the future.”
I shrugged playfully as I smirked, “Of course, I can. I am psychic.”
She rolled her eyes playfully and then laughed as she requested another shot of vodka from the bartender while I requested another shot of tequila from him as we began the journey to live out the future I had apparently predicted.
So we sat together at the bar and drank while bitching about random people as we laughed like teenagers. She felt a little more comfortable talking to me right now. The more she drank, the less tense she felt and I could feel her gravitating towards me a little bit. I could feel that I was getting a little close to getting lucky tonight.
There was no point that woman is f*****g beautiful and sexy as hell and it was getting harder to resist skin contact.
She was more than just the s*x appeal though. I was not only attracted to her body and her beauty but her whole self. Her aura, her voice, how smart and eloquent she sounds. All of her. I was attracted to everything about her.
