“Yeah, and just like old times, you should be nicer to me, which means saying yes to a dance.”
“I said no.”
“We’ll be right back.” Shane grabs my hand and pulls me back to the bar. “Two shots over here.”
“What are you doing?”
“You need to loosen up and have some fun.”
My blood starts to boil. I played darts and pool, what more did he want from me?
“I am having fun, I just kicked your buddies' butts in pool just like I’m going to do in the courtroom.”
Shane’s face turns red. “Taylor, you can’t sue my friends. You have to realize how wrong this is.”
“I’m just doing what I was hired to do.”
“But you know TJ, and suing his company just isn’t right.”
Part of me starts to deflate. Shane does have a point.
This might be a conflict of interest, but I want to take TJ down for all the ways he treated me as a teen. He made me feel inferior, and I want him to lose.
“You don’t understand.”
“Fine, but the least you can do is be nice to them and get to know them. They really are cool guys.”
“Okay,” I lie through my teeth. “I will dance with TJ, but then you are taking me home.”
Shane smiles and downs his shot. I follow through and down my own. It burns as it flows down my throat, but I welcome it.
I walk to TJ. “Follow me.”
I make my way to the dancefloor, shimmying my hips without looking back. I move to the rhythm of the rock song playing as the alcohol works its way through my body. This night will be over in less than five minutes, but I plan on torturing TJ with every minute that is left.
Chapter 6 - TJ
“Follow me,” Taylor’s voice gravels out as she starts to saunter towards the dancefloor.
Every fiber of my being is screaming in satisfaction at winning this battle. I will finally get my hands on this beauty.
Taylor’s body moves like she was born to dance, her hips shaking from side to side with each step. My mouth goes dry as I stand on the edge of the dance area. There is just something about those hips that puts me in a trance. It is as if I am just an onlooker, watching the show of the century.
“Are you coming?” Taylor asks from over her shoulder, breaking me from the spell.
“Yeah, of course, wouldn’t miss this for the world.”
Walking with a skip in my step, I approach Taylor, who is still shaking her hips like a pro. I sidle up behind her, placing my hands on those delectable hips.
She freezes for a moment, so I leave space between us, but we still dance.
The music seems quieter next to her and I can feel my skin buzzing where it connects with her body. There is just something about this moment that feels endless.
Taylor sways her hips, and my eyes are glued to her ass as we move together as one.
Get closer,my dragon pleads.
There is nothing I want more than to connect my crotch with her ass and feel her dancing on me, but I don’t want this moment to end by me going too far.
