Page 10 of Amor Prohibido

I clapped Darren on the shoulder. “Marc seems like a good sort.”

Tonight was the first time I’d met him, and I already had mad respect for the guy who was with a wildcat like Lozza. She’d break the weak.

“Yeah, he’s a good mate. Keeps Lozza tamed—well, as much as she can be.”

Laughing and bringing my drink to my lips, I barely swallowed before a loud whistle cut through the air.

“¡Mierda!” Darren hissed and pushed past me toward the dance floor without an explanation.

Marc waved to get our attention while pointing at Callie and Jax with the opposite hand. Some asshole was grinding up on our girls and was about to meet a pissed off Darren head-on. Daz was far more chill than Jax until someone fucked him off.

Cursing and rushing after him, I pushed through jostling bodies until I arrived at our little circle. While Darren had words with the jock who seemed to be standing his ground, I gave Jax a look over.

Mistake.

Smooth, shapely calves led under her skirt. My gaze crept up her body, lingered on her exposed belly, then her cleavage, before following the curve of her slender neck to where those plump lips held nothing but sass.

“You okay?” I shouted, pretending my perusal of her body was solely for health and safety purposes.

“I’m fine,” she yelled back, and to my surprise, slung her arms around my neck.

My hands automatically landed on her waist and heated against her bare skin. I groaned as a rush of forbidden desire gathered low in my belly. I shouldn’t be thinking of her as anything other than family. Most definitely not my next conquest.

She pressed her tits harder against my chest and leaned in. I angled my head away slightly to avoid any slip ups: me kissing her.

Her breath tickled against my neck as she yelled into my ear. “It was all my fault.”

I pulled back and lifted my eyebrows in question, surprised to see true regret etched onto her beautiful face. “What was?”

“Our fight. Not speaking for years.” She shook her head as if to clear it. “I should never have said something so spiteful. I knew it would hurt you deep, yet I went there because I wanted to hurt you. But I regret it so much. I’m so fucking sorry!”

I went to assure her all was forgiven, only to be cut off.

“Please forgive me. I hate that we’re like this!” Her gaze bore into mine and landed on the soft spot I’d always had for her.

“I forgave you long before tonight, sweetheart.”

“You promise?”

“Promise.”

Her body physically relaxed with relief. She pulled back a fraction, looked me dead in the eye, and sank her teeth into her lower lip. The lip bite had me groaning with frustration and dancing the fine line between right and wrong.

Leaning in, I spoke against the shell of her ear. “You’re too fucking sexy for your own good. I go away for three years and come back tothis!”I smoothed one hand across her lower back, splayed my fingers wide on her spine where the sheet of her silky black hair brushed my knuckles.

Jax laughed and swung wildly in my arms, forcing me to adjust my grip.

“How much have you had to drink, J?”

“Some,” she shouted back. Her expression grew sultry. “Dance with me!”

Conscious of Darren’s ever-watchful gaze, I gripped Jax by the hips, spun her, then pulled her back to my front.

Another tortured groan snagged in my throat as she started moving to the music, grinding her sweet ass against my crotch. She knew exactly what she was doing too. My dick pricked up and took notice, growing harder each time Jax’s booty ground against its length.

She looked back over her shoulder and smirked. That smirk set the tone. A tone that was anything but platonic.

Fingers brushed over where mine clamped to her waist, then drew a line up the front of her body, over her shoulders and around the base of my neck. I weakened under her touch, rolling my body in time with hers as the music ate away my morals. Holding her against me while my hands roamed her curves was the epitome of so wrong, yet so right. I thanked my lucky stars that Darren was too preoccupied with Callie to notice the way I was dancing with Jax.
