Excerpt from HARDWIRED
We descended into the smoky darkness of the top floor of the club. I embraced
the noise, hoping to drown out the thoughts reeling through my mind.
I led us out to the dance floor, bringing us deep into the crowd through throngs
of people gyrating to an especially popular Rihanna remix. I stopped and moved
to face him, but he stilled me. His strong hand gripped my hip and pulled me
back slightly until our bodies were flush with each other. The motion was so
fluid and effortless, as if he was simply reuniting us to where we should have
been all night. Together.
In an instant, my body melted into his. Everything felt right in his arms. The
pounding base guided my movements as I began to sway to the beat of the music
reverberating through my body. My muscles relaxed, and I got lost in the moment,
in Blake.
The crowd was tight, but I didn’t care. All I could feel was Blake’s hands on
me. In sync with the song, I pressed back into him, feeling a wild frenzy to be
close to him, to feel that physical contact I’d been craving for days now. The
song came to a close and merged into the next, slightly changing our rhythm and
bringing us even closer. His erection became more pronounced, pressing against
my ass, silently demanding what we both wanted. Arousal prickled my skin and my
head fell back. His arm circled my waist and he kissed my neck. A hot,
open-mouthed kiss that had my head spinning. Alcohol maybe, but more likely that
drug that was Blake was taking over.
He spun me around to face him. Before he could speak, I grabbed him by the
jacket and pulled him to me. Crushing my mouth onto his, I kissed him with a
wild hunger. He met me full force. Our tongues tangled and I pulled him closer.
He slipped his hand under the tight elastic of my dress, cupping my ass and
grazing the edge of my panties. I moaned into his mouth, forgetting myself and
our surroundings. I wanted to climb him right there among the hundreds of other
hot, sweaty, and sexually charged people.
He growled a little as he pulled away. The lack of connection was abrupt,
leaving me bereft, but the discomfort of not being connected was soon derailed
by the knowledge that I was being led from the dance floor and down a hallway
away from the chaos that once surrounded us.
We traveled farther until the hallway split. On the left, a tall thickly-built
man stood guard near a door. Blake approached the bouncer and pressed some bills
into his hand, who nodded toward the door. We entered what appeared to be
another private VIP area. An ambient light filled the room, which was quite
large and entirely unoccupied. Dark red leather couches lined the walls along
two sides, and along another, a private bar lit up with everything a good party
might need.
“What is this?”
Blake closed the door behind us and wasted no time pinning me to it.
“This is where I’m going to f*ck you without interruptions.”
