The grip on my elbow is tight, holding me upright and close. I waver slightly on my heels as I'm pulled through the hotel lobby stopping only briefly to wait for the elevator doors to open. Several other people join us in the confined space, this only results in me being yanked to the corner. His body is tight against mine, I can feel the heat of him through my clothes, I can almost see the anger rolling off him in waves.
"What the fuck were you thinking?" Nic's voice is a barely audible growl in my ear, a man talking loudly on his phone making it impossible for anyone else to hear what is being whispered to me. The anger is obvious in his voice, and it only succeeds in making me wet, the heat traveling to the spot between my thighs.
"It wasn't my fault, I was dancing by myself, he came up behind me." The alcohol in my system made me brave, or stupid. Normally I kept my mouth shut. My tone was clipped, voice a little too loud for the small elevator, causing few people to glance at me. There is a flicker of a smirk across Nic's handsome face, before he regains composure, and gives a curt nod. Back talking is not tolerated.
Hostile silence remains as I am led out of the elevator and down the hall towards the room, his strides are long, I stumble to keep up with him. At the door I am shoved inside, I trip over my feet, the six inch heels suddenly too much in my inebriated state. Catching myself on the arm of the small love seat in our room I turn to face him. Nic is handsome, it is obvious even in the darkened room, his features look as if they are carved out of marble. The anger in his face make him all the more gorgeous, I catch myself wanting to drop to my knees in front of him. I don't, I remain upright, I'm feeling testy tonight. Nic can sense this, I see it on his face.
"On your knees, darlin',"his voice is smooth, a hint of amusement in his tone. When I don't respond his expression hardens and his hands drop to his belt, working the buckle slowly. "Do not make this worse for yourself..." it's a warning, he's giving me a chance to make amends, I'll still get punished, just not as severely. Still, I hold my ground. His eyebrows shoot up and down once, making a clicking noise with his tongue as he shakes his head and steps towards me, pulling his belt from the loops of his pants.
