He grabbed my arm and swung me back around. “Yeah, it was amazin’, baby. So, no, I am not gonna let you just walk away from this. And I am not gonna sit back and watch you self-destruct, which is definitely where you were headed when I found you upstairs last night. Remember that, Sienna? You got a problem. And I’m tellin’ you—again—what your body already knows.” He slipped his arm behind me and across to the opposite hip, and pulled my body flush with his. My nipples immediately went hard, and my pussy flooded. My body was a freaking traitor to my mind. “You need me. And you want me. And I’m not lettin’ you go.”
“Oh no? Well, sweetheart, you have to let me go. There’s a no-hands rule here.” I smirked at him, thinking I’d found an easy out.
“Sass. You’re too much fun. Lucky for me, the lovers’ loophole gives me full rights.”
“There is no lovers’ loophole.”
“You don’t think? Baby, I can show you how to make one anytime. You just say the magic word.”
Gah! He was messing with me. And my body was totally buying it; he was so quirky and animated, totally enjoying himself, and his twisted logic and witticism had my brain searching for rejoinders in equal kind. Damn him and his hotness—he was turning my brain on, too. I was super wet. And leaning into him. And he was basically holding me up. And my head was tilted back so I could meet his eyes, which were shining. And I couldn’t stop myself from wanting him more.
I did the only thing I could do: I pushed myself away from him, breaking our eye contact, and went back into thinking mode. Or rather, I tried to.
“No, Dom. Fuck. Okay. Here’s the thing.” And I looked him back in the eyes, sucking in my lower lip as I thought how best to play this. “Listen. I do need help. But later, not now. First, I have something I gotta take care of. But then after, then I could maybe really use your help. But you gotta understand that I’m calling the shots tonight. In fact, I’m calling the shots from now on. And you gotta be good with that. Okay, baby?”
“You are so cute. You know that, right? Because that’s about the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. Have you met me yet? You have control issues, babe. And I am here to solve them. I call the shots. Always. Me. Not you. Me. Sweet little thing.” Those last three words were under his breath, as he smiled at me almost pityingly.
My temper broke. “Ha! The last thing I need is another man telling me what to do, Dom. No fucking way!”
“No, you’re right. You don’t need another man. In fact, another man is exactly what you don’t need, and what you will not have. I won’t allow it. Nice that you are finally catchin’ on.”
“Arrrgh! You are so infuriating! You know what I mean. I don’t need any man. I call the shots in my life, Dom. I do. Not you. And not anyone else.”
“You’re right. Not anyone else, except me. You and your fucking mouth, Sienna. So dirty. You need another lesson tonight? Huh, baby? That what you want? I can be down with that. Tell me what you need.”
“Dom, you are driving me nuts. Get over yourself!”
“Baby, I’m goin’ to get over you. Right, the fuck, now. Because I know that you are wet as the ocean right now—I can smell you. And it is time you learned what benefits there are for you when you finally admit that it is me that you want and need. And that you like it when I take control.”
My mouth dropped open in shock. This man had a way of twisting everything around. He was fucking brilliant. And I was fucked.
He palmed the nape of my neck and guided me to the private rooms. And all of the Storm guys, who had apparently been enjoying the show, were chuckling, and some even clapped as we made our way back. And my stupid heart was beating loud with the pounding music.
And, goddamnit, my feet skipped along behind him.
Chapter Six
Dom
As far as I was concerned, Sienna had earned herself a good long lesson in giving up control. I was really looking forward to this. To be honest, I’d been looking forward to this for a really long time. The club no-hands rule made it tough on guys like me. Totally understandable, and the girls needed the rule in order to be safe, so mine was hardly an arguable position. Still, my body craved the ability to finally take over Sienna’s. Last night had been a necessary and excellent first step. Tonight would make things a hell of a lot more clear to her. I was finally gonna get to teach her how things would be. To the advantage of both of us. Finally.
The door shut and clicked behind her, and I once again caged her against it, hitting the Occupied button in the process.
