I start in surprise when I find him watching me intently.

His eyes sear into mine, and he tightens his hand on my waist possessively.

“You really are incredible,” he says, sounding almost stunned.

My chest tightens. But in a good way, this time. As if my heart is so big that it can barely fit inside my ribcage. It’s painful. But it’s a sweet pain.

Drawing in a shuddering breath, I lick my lips.

Desperate desire flares up in Tristan’s eyes like dark flames, and he tightens his grip on my waist even more.

“What did I tell you about doing that?” he warns, his voice full of wicked promises. “Now I really will have to undress you against a wall and fuck you until the only thing left inside your head is my name.”

A thrill races down my spine.

I let out a hmm, as if considering something. “Maybe we should take a break from collecting orders and go to the annex to get the product.”

“And why would we do that?”

“So that you won’t have to blind everyone in here.”

His brows crease as he watches me for a second. Then he realizes what I’m suggesting. A wicked grin spreads across his lips. “Excellent idea.”

Stepping away from the dance floor, we make our way back through the glittering marble ballroom and towards the doors.

Since we couldn’t very well bring an entire bag of drugs into the party itself, we had to sneak in and stash it in one of the annex buildings beforehand. That way, we can just discreetly get what we need, hand it off, take new orders, get some more product, and then do the same thing again.

The second advantage of going out to that annex to get them is that it’s secluded.

And for what I’m about to make Tristan do to me, we will certainly need it.

TRISTAN

We barely even make it into the small room before my hands are on her body and my lips on her throat. While I’m kissing my way to her neck, I kick the door shut with my heel and slide my arm around her ass.

Elle moans and wraps her legs around my waist as I lift her up and brace her back against the smooth marble wall.

Out here in the annex, we’re far enough away from the party that no one will hear her screams.

Because I am going to make her scream. And beg. And moan my name in that perfect breathless voice of hers.

Fuck, ever since she walked out of her dorm room wearing that gorgeous green dress, it has been a fucking battle to keep my hands off her. She is illegally attractive. And so absolutely incredible.

I still can’t believe that she’s actually here. Actually doing this. That Elle Summers is selling drugs. To save me.

The thought still makes my head spin.

With one arm still under her ass, I keep her pressed against the wall as I kiss my way up her throat and over her jaw. She throws her head back, breathless noises escaping her sinful mouth. I grab her chin, tilting her head back down and claiming those wicked lips for myself.

She rakes her fingers through my hair and rolls her hips against me.

Pleasure pulses through me and my cock hardens. She grins against my mouth since she can no doubt feel it. I squeeze her ass in response.

She let out a surprised squeak.

A dark laugh rolls from my chest as I bite her bottom lip and roll my own hips right back at her. She moans into my mouth.
