But Lucas will not take no for an answer when he spots the woman he wants in his bed. And despite being warned by her friends that Lucas is not what he seems and is too much for a gentle woman like Nita, she can't seem to stay away from him.

He let his gaze sweep the room, categorizing every woman as he went, who would be good to fuck, who he already hadand of course, who to avoid at all costs.Deliberately ignoring Gloria meant nothing to her. She slunk to his side and rested long manicured nails on his thigh with a pout planted on her red lips. Even before her hand slid higher to stroke his shaft, he had begun to harden. No matter how she had betrayed him, he still loved her. She was the only woman he ever would love, maybe even the only person he'd ever care about outside of his half brother Brant. "What the fuck do you want, Gloria? Run out of lovers for the night?" he spat. He'd displayed too much vehemence when he should have been indifferent. Her smirk told him she had noticed. "Aw, still pining for me, baby?" She stroked him harder, and damn if he wasn't ready to come. He shoved her hand away and stood. Gloria wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her forehead on the back of his shoulder. At one time he thought it sexy as hell her being that small. "Get lost, Gloria," he muttered with more control this time. "I'm meeting someone here. My newest bed partner, so don't get in my way." "What?" She lifted her head and searched much like he did. "Which one is it? No, matter. You can tell her you're taken for the night. Remember how we used to fuck all night long?" "Not really." He freed himself and walked out onto the dance floor, looking for a likely target, anyone he could use to put some distance between himself and Gloria. If she hung on him much longer, he'd give into her and wake up with a shattered heart the next morning. He may have liked to walk around like he was made of ice as the others had described him, but the truth was a whole other story. A young woman with her back to him, swaying to the rhythm of the music, caught his attention. From his vantage point, she had an ass he'd like to ride and smooth brown skin that looked sweet like sugar. He scanned the area near her and found no man lingering close enough to claim hernot that it would have matteredand he sidled up behind her. Matching her movements, he swayed with her and leaned down to kiss her neck. She gasped and would have moved away, but he caught her around the waist. "No, don't move. Just turn your head and let me get a taste of that mouth." "What?" She elbowed him and spun around with her hands on her hips and eyebrows lowered in a scowl. "How dare you presume I want to kiss you?" Lucas blinked and took a step back. The studious one. What was her name? This was one of Zandrea's friends. The name slipped into his mind. Nita. He stood there staring at her while she railed at him, probably going through the expansive vocabulary she had picked up in all the years she'd been in university. He wondered what fears kept her from actually living rather than hiding out as a student for so long. Whatever the reason, he needed her right now, whether she knew it or not. He had seduced many women in his time, and this sexy little thing wouldn't be any different. While she continued to complain, Lucas reached across the space between them and scooped her up close to his chest. He was aware that he was exuding the pheromones that would make her melt in his arms, and that was just fine with him. Without hesitation, he lowered his head and covered her protesting mouth with his own. The second he slid his tongue between her luscious lips, she melted. Deepening the kiss, he tightened his hold and ran a hand up her back to cup her head. His shaft, which had begun to calm walking away from Gloria, hardened all over again with his body pressed to Nita's. She was not his type, if he truly had one. He liked petite blondes, aggressive little wolf shifter females that could give as much as they got. But the sweet thing in his arms was leggy and tall. Her handful sized breasts, pressed into his chest was nothing like what he usually went after, yet still, he was about ready to burst kissing her. "Come to one of the back rooms with me," he demanded when he pulled back. Her large brown eyes were unfocused, and her lips were swollen from his kiss. She nodded unsteadily. "Yes." "Hell no!" someone snapped. Lucas looked up over Nita's head to the angry woman behind her. This was the other friend, the toughest of the three who would probably attempt to kick his ass should he try to take Nita for his own pleasure. "This has nothing to do with you," he told her. "Nita is a grown woman who can decide who she takes as a lover." "Whatever." Stacy snatched his prize from his arms. "She's not going anywhere with you. I saw you before." She nodded to a point somewhere behind him. "Over there letting that woman rub all up on you. So when you got bored with her, you came over here to get Nita. I'm not having it." Lucas felt his eyes darken in anger and was glad of the low lights to hide the change. He breathed in and out a few times to calm himself, but it wasn't working. Instead, dislike of this woman ran through him. He glanced down at Nita. With his anger up, his seduction had eased. Nita blinked as if her mind was clearing from a fog. Damn. He still wanted her, and this woman wasn't going to keep her from him. * * * * Nita blinked and stood up straight. She watched a little dazed at Stacy arguing with the sexy man who had kissed her earlier. Wait, kissed her? She couldn't imagine that she had let a stranger rub all over her body and stick his tongue in her mouth. She was a little on the desperate side lately, and more than a little jealous at the fact that Zandrea had found a man and was hiding out somewhere in a bed with him, but to let this guy use her this way? She focused on Stacy's words, and became more alarmed with each word. "I saw you letting that woman over there rub you. So you think you're going to get my friend in the back to do the same thing? Not!" Nita turned to him, realization dawning. "What did you do to me? Some kind of hypnosis? Who are you? And how did you know my name? I'm sure I didn't tell you." His lips tightened, for some reason reminding her of how he had tasted. Whatever he had done to her wasn't present now, and yet, she ached to crawl back into his arms and offer her body and soul to him. Then again, the man was gorgeous, the epitome of dark and dangerous male. Almost black eyes, dark thick curls atop his head, hard muscles, and he dressed with casual grace in a collared black shirt and slacks. The shirt sat open at the neck, giving her a peek at matching black curls on his chest. A vision of running her fingers over that delicious expanse rose in her mind, and she turned away. She needed a drink. Without another word or waiting for him to answer, she headed to the bar. Stacy could handle him. A man like him wouldn't look twice at someone like her. Maybe he was trying to make his girlfriend jealous. Whatever. Easy come, easy go. Nita slid onto a stool at the bar and ordered her favorite drink, a Red-headed Slut. When the bartender placed her shot glass in front of her, she thanked him and scooped it up to down in one gulp. She squeezed her eyes shut and waited for the burning sensation in her throat to pass before she slammed the glass down on the counter. "Yeah, I needed a stiff drink after the first kiss with Lucas, too." Nita looked around to see a beautiful blonde standing beside her. The woman gave the man occupying the stool a look, and for some reason he cowed and fled. She sat down like the whole occurrence was typical for her. "Excuse me?" Nita said. The woman smiled, although truth be told, the coldness in her eyes could freeze a person. "Gloria Rampart. You?" Nita hesitated. "Nita James. Nice to meet you." Gloria waved a hand. "What I was saying was the first time I kissed Lucas, I was lost. Until I realized he would never give me his heart." She stuck a cigarette between her red lips but didn't light it. Nita watched to see if she would, given that smoking here was prohibited. "You see, Lucas is the ultimate Alpha male. He barks commands, expects you to follow and he doesn't give a shit about anyone, least of all women. He likes to have several women a week, sometimes several a night. So, if you had aspirations of getting with himdon't." Finding no words right away to respond with, which was a rarity for her, Nita said nothing. Yet, even a blind woman could see Gloria was jealous and that maybe things weren't like she wanted them to be between her and Lucas. She paused in thought. Lucas? Sexy name. Glancing back over her shoulder, she spotted him just turning away from Stacy and smiled. No one could out argue her friend. That was for sure. Nita refocused on the woman at her side and took on what Zandrea had termed her school marm attitude to beat down the pretentious. "Don't worry, sweetheart. Soon enough you'll come to realize that a man like him isn't conducive to a strong and healthy self-esteem. I would not direct my attentions on Lucas for all the money in the world." |
