“Then what’s the problem?”

“I don’t need a fuck.”

He jerked his head at her vagina. “Apparently you do. She’s hungry for dick, baby.”

Carmen shoved, and this time he rocked back. She gained her feet and yanked her dress down. When she turned to confront Angel, she saw that he had his fingers in his mouth. Words dried up in her throat. He withdrew his fingers and cursed.

“Fuck. I didn’t go deep enough. I can’t taste you.”

Her legs wobbled. She wagged her finger at him. “We’re family.”

“By marriage.”

“Same thing.”

“No, it isn’t.”

“You’re inappropriate.”

“You’re the one dancing at a strip club.”

“Gentlemen’s club.”

“Same thing.”

That pricked her professional pride. “No, it isn’t.”

He got to his feet and zipped his pants. His erection was painfully obvious. She wanted nothing more than to kneel and blow him, but that wasn’t happening. She waved a hand in front of her face in a vain attempt to disperse the sexual tension.

“This isn’t happening,” she said.

“Then I need someone to take care of what you started.”

“I can arrange that,” she said.

She had her hand on the doorknob when he called her name. She hesitated before she looked back. Her control quaked as she took him in. He was virile, attractive, and dangerous. His eye contact made her feel as if she was the only woman in the world, but she knew his type. Angel would fuck her mindless and then turn to the next woman without a thought like Gavin. No, this was better for both of them.

“I don’t want you dancing without backup,” he said.

It took her a moment to register what he said. “There’s security everywhere.”

“It would only take a moment for them to hurt you.”

“I can handle myself.”

“I don’t care. How’d you end up on stage anyway?”

She gave him a one-shoulder shrug. “They played Guns N’ Roses.”

His smirked. “Is that the song that makes you drop your panties? I’ll remember that for next time.”

She gave him the middle finger as she opened the door and slammed it behind her. Gavin’s guards were waiting in the hallway and tried to hide their smirks. She glared at them before she turned on her heel. She caught the elevator to the first floor, nodded to Phil and left out the back door. When she collapsed in her car, she called Kiki.

“You forget to tell me something about you and the new crime lord?” Kiki asked.

“It’s nothing. Send him someone who will take care of him.”

“No problem.”
