"Get your fucking hands off me," Regan demanded, trying to reclaim her arm. Her step-brother's grip was like steal. Out of nowhere, he had grabbed her by the arm and dragged her off the dance floor like a rag doll.
"Be still," Ian ordered. The defined line of his jaw was set and its muscle flexed.
Having made it off the dance floor and away from the mass of people, he finally turned to look at her. His blue eyes were like glacier daggers. Under their piercing glare, her heart caught in her throat. His anger was frightening but his sexiness never more present. The heated flow of blood to his face deepened his tanned coloring. His shirt highlighted the toned definition of his chest and shoulders, almost straining across his biceps. His blond curls looked darker, smoothed into waves that flowed to the back of his head. Anger rolled off of him like a tidal wave.
Regan was scared and turned on at the same time.
She could feel her thong getting wet. Her dark, almond shaped eyes were stretched wide and glistened like glass reflecting the pulsating lights of the night club. Her full lips were set into a glossy heart shaped pout that angered Ian even more.
Ian cursed himself, swinging her around, forcing her back to him. He did not want to see her lips nor her eyes. With her arm still held tightly within his grasp and his other wrapped across her midsection, he lifted her off the floor and carried her down a small side corridor. A door was at the end of the narrow hall and a glowing red exit sign shown above it. Stopping, he dipped his head. His breath was hot and moist at her ear. She could feel him hard like a brick wall against her back and she could smell the undeniable seductive scent that was only his permeating from his heated body.
"Why are you here," he growled.
"Well I'm not following your arrogant ass that's for sure," she hissed.
"There you go with that filthy mouth of yours." He laughed, dryly.
He squeezed her arm in retaliation and she winced from the pressure.
"You're hurting me," she spit through clenched teeth.
"Good! What I need to do is put you over my lap and spank the shit out of you!"
"And, we all know that would just be another excuse for you to put your hands on my ass you perv!"
The fire in him spread,
"For one thing little girl," he said, rubbing his nose along the outer curve of her ear, inhaling her sweetness, "you're supposed to be twenty-one or older to get into this club. You are a two years short of that."
"You gonna' ask them to kick me out big brother?"
She tried unsuccessfully to shift her head so that the heat of his words would stop playing with her senses.
"I am not your brother, remember."
He pressed her even harder against him, knocking the wind out of her lungs. "Who was that? You were pretty much asking him to fuck you in the ass right there on the damn dance floor."
"Now who has the potty mouth?"
"Answer me," he demanded.
"Is that how you like to give it, up the ass? Oh, but my ass isn't good enough for you. So, what do you care! "
Her words struck Ian like a punch to the gut. He stood there for a moment absorbing the blow, holding her, trying to dredge up some semblance of self control. Did she truly have no idea how she affected him? Just hours ago, Regan was completely focused on him, offering herself to him. Now, she was lap dancing with some damn kid.
"Ian." she struggled to breathe. "You're hurting me."
Shame doused his anger, reducing it to a threatening steamy simmer instead of a raging fire. He loosened his arms. Regan slid down his body, her high heels finally touching the floor.
When his grip lessened, Regan's first impulse was to pull away from him. Her body wouldn't let her. Butterfly wings beat against the inside of her abdomen and fluttered across her pussy lips.
"I'm sorry." His voice was almost calm now. Guilt overtook him for wanting her the way that he should not. The last night was still fresh between them. He had stopped himself, but only after having gone too far.
His regret struck a raw chord in Regan and a new sense of rejection overcame her. "I hate you," she sneered, finally trying to pull away from him.
