“The lady’s not interested Baker. Look elsewhere.” Dragon’s voice rumbles in my ear and the hot air sends chills down my back.
“Dragon, didn’t realize you and Nicole were dating.” Seth says and he looks between me and Dragon, his eyes lock on mine and I see disapproval there. That kind of pisses me off, but I am busy trying to figure out how to tell Dragon to go to hell loud enough they might hear me about five states over.
“We’re not.” I turn to the side to look at Dragon. “What the hell are you doing?” I ask.
“Making sure men know my woman is my woman.” Dragon says, with those big beefy arms of his crossed at his chest.
“When the hell did I become your woman?” I ask, while bad Nicole is jumping for joy inside.
“The minute you gave me a taste of that mouth,” Dragon answers.
“That was over two weeks ago and besides what happened next made that kiss null and void.” I argue, ignoring the heat that races up my face.
“What happened next? You mean when you wrapped your legs around me and tried to claw up my damned back?”
“No! I mean when you tried to get me to fuck your whole damn club!” I exclaim, before I realize what I am saying. Once it’s out there though, there’s not much I could do, besides die of humiliation.
The club goes quiet with the exception of the music playing in the background. I have always liked country music. Now though, the sound of some man whining about going redneck crazy? I hate it.
“Woman you got legs?” Dragon asks. I look at him like he is insane, and it’s a good possibility.
“Yes and I’m using them to walk away from you.”
He grabs me before I can.
“You control who opens and closes your legs yeah? I ain’t making or asking you to do shit.”
“You insinuated!” I argued.
“You put words in my mouth Nicole that’s on you.”
“You’re so full of shit Dragon. We both know what you said.”
“Maybe we see it differently. Ask Bull what I told him I’d do if he touched your ass.”
I start wondering if I could kill him with laser beams of death shooting out of my eyes.
“I don’t need to ask Bull, because….”
“Bull, what did I tell you man?”
“That you’d cut my dick off if I tried to get it near your woman?” Bull’s big voice thundered out into the quiet room.
“Well that doesn’t matter because….”
“Got to tell you Mama, you take Baker here up on his offer and I’ll give him worse. You’re mine. You feel me?”
I look at his dark eyes and feel this nervous anxiety flutter through me. His words excite and trouble me.
“Um…Dragon, you realize that’s a little crazy after one kiss?”
“You want my mouth again? For that matter, do you want more from me woman?”
“I…I’m not sure, I need to think about this.” I say honestly. He has me freaked out, I can freely admit that.
Dragon walks off and motions for Bull to follow him. They walk out the door. Shit what does that mean? I looked towards Irish. He’s watching me, but he doesn’t say anything. I sigh and get back to work, ignoring the looks I keep getting. Seth and his crew left shortly after and I breathe a little easier.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Dani come in. She is working the poles tonight on the late shift. Irish had only given me earlier hours. I didn’t mind, the tips were decent and this way I was home early and I enjoy that.
“What’s up with you girl?” Dani asks coming over to me.
“One guess,” I answer, since she already knew about the dance Dragon and I have been doing, it won’t be a huge leap for her.
She snorts. “Girl, go ahead give in and take him for a test drive. You know you are going too anyway.” She said shaking her head.
“He got mad and left, so who knows what is going to happen.”
Dani laughed harder. “I know girl. I’ve seen the way that hunk of beef looks at you.”
I sigh and bite my tongue to keep from asking for details. “Go shake your ass, I’m headed home.”
“See you later woman.” She replies and walks back towards the dressing area for the dancers.
“Later.” I call out to her back, trying not to concentrate on the sad feeling I have had since Dragon left. I find myself praying Dani is right and Dragon will be back. Shit.
Chapter 5
Dragon
I gave it the rest of the night and today to calm down. I am pissed at a lot of shit really. Nicole, even though she is mostly right. I had thought of her as Twinkie material. That changed when her smart mouth stood up to me. Something happens to me when she talks back. It annoys me, but soothes me at the same time.
