“I guess… ‘Somebody to Love’ by Queen.” We both enjoyed that song earlier.

Pulling out his phone, Raiden shoots a text to someone, fingers flying over the keypad. Up on the stage, the DJ smoothly transitions to the very song I just mentioned. Raiden yanks me against him, and I all but pull him onto the dance floor. The temperature climbs as we’re surrounded by dozens of bodies, growing almost humid. I can’t dance for shit, but I don’t care, not with Raiden’s big body flush against mine.

Lights swirl over our heads, dyeing Raiden’s jet-black hair shades of blue, pink, and red. He pulls me close so we’re chest to chest, hip to hip. Without thinking, I sink my hand into his hair, guiding him closer. Hungry lips nip and suck on my neck while his big, graceful body moves against me.

Then Raiden leans in, and his mouth crashes against mine.

Everything else fades away, and it’s only Raiden’s lips, surprisingly soft against mine and so warm. I make a sound that has my cheeks burning, and he answers with a low groan that has my blood stirring, liquid heat flowing south. He’s all I can feel, smell, and taste. Raiden’s hand curls in my hair. That same hand gripping, squeezing, tipping my head back so he can press that sweet, hot mouth against the hinge of my jaw and—fuck.

I’ve been kissed before. Good kisses. Bad kisses. Even the best of them were never like this. My breath was never stolen. My heart never felt like it would rupture. He kisses me, and I understand the difference between being kissed and being seen, wanted, needed.

The crowd disappears, and he’s all I can see. I reach for him, needing him close again. My fingers sink into his hair, pulling him to me, and we kiss until I think I’ll die unless we stop.

The hard line of his cock digs into my hip, and my own arousal is evident. All I want is to grind on him, his body eager and warm against mine. But the roar of the crowd tears me from this fantasy. We aren’t alone. It would be so easy to just let go with him.

Raiden’s lips leave mine hot and aching. His eyes are dark, pupils expanding almost to the edge of his irises. His tongue darts out to caress his lower lip, swollen from our kiss. I did that to him. Made him look so wild and turned on. He’s always been so put together until this moment.

His Adam’s apple bobs when he swallows, and I want to put my mouth there, anywhere he’ll let me. I’d worship at the temple of his body and never stop. With a single kiss, this man ruined me, and I won’t be satisfied until I’ve tasted him again, everywhere.

“How many songs can you get through in this state before you ask me to take you home, Sunshine?” Raiden murmurs into my ear.

I’m so worked up, I’m panting, but like hell am I going to make this easy for him. “Bet I can make you say it first.”

Raiden glides his teeth over his lower lip. “Give it your best shot.”

Turning so my back is to his front, I reach up and hold the back of his neck. I push my hips back against his groin and swirl them, grinning when he tenses and grabs my waist hard. When he hardens against my ass, I can’t hold back my triumphant grin. I got him hard for me.

“Fuck, this ass of yours…” He growls against my neck, teeth sinking in. I’m grateful the music is so loud it hides my groan of pleasure. His fingers curl around my throat, and when he moans in my ear, I know he felt the sound I made.

His canine teeth are sharper than they should be, dimpling my skin to the point of pain, only to draw back before he can break my skin. Gripping his hair, I urge him on, and his lips scorch a path up my neck, kissing, biting, sucking on the marks he leaves behind.

Gripping my wrists, he hoists my hands up and over my head. “Keep them there,” he orders, and then he runs his hands down my front. My head falls back at his touch, heat scorching through the barrier of my clothes to my skin. I’ve never despised clothes so much. Raiden dips his fingers past my belt.

“Enough,” Raiden snaps in my ear. I’m whirled around and plastered to his front. “Can’t take this anymore.”

I’m more than in agreement. “There’s a bathroom over there if—”

Gripping my chin, he pulls me in close to nip my bottom lip. “If anyone but me sees you naked, there will be a bloodbath.”

“Possessive, aren’t you?” I suck his lip into my mouth, fingers bunching in his shirt.

His palm lands on my ass with a meaty smack through my clothes. “Yes. I am. Now start walking, or I’ll carry you out.”

“Doesn’t sound so bad when you say it like that.” I kiss the hinge of his jaw.

Raiden loops his arm over my shoulder, like he’s staking his claim on me.

Tonight is going to be amazing. I can already tell.

Since we’ve been drinking, Raiden calls for a taxi to take us to his place. I didn’t expect the car ride to be such torture, especially with Raiden’s leg pressing against mine. I just want my dick to chill until we get to his place. Raiden’s gaze burns over my skin, and I swallow hard when his eyes land on my obvious arousal.

His breath hits my ear when he rumbles, “Wanna suck your dick. Right here.”

My pulse skips. The idea is both horrifying since the driver could so easily overhear us, and so sexy that it makes my balls ache. “We don’t have condoms, do we?”

“Do we need one?” Raiden’s hand is warm on my thigh.

“I haven’t been with anyone in a while, and I tested negative the last time I slept with someone, so…”
