Pride (Living In Sin #1)

Chapter 21

Pry

Having Des here was going to work out so well. The word had gotten out that they were back and the energy of the club was beyond normal. It was powerful, dancing over my skin and I let it over take everything.

And I enjoyed watching Alec from afar. He stood by the edge of Des's floor. The sight of him was more potent than I could have imagined. He was in just his office clothes, but he was beautiful. With his hair out, it caught the neon light, and it shone off his pale skin. I bit my lip. He'd tried to wear baggy clothes, but I knew he was trying to hide his body's reaction.

It was cute, but I looked forward to the day that he didn't have to feel like he had to hide from us.

But I would not think of that anymore. When did I start thinking of myself and my family as an 'us'? With a shake of my head, I entered the throng of people, stalking towards my prey. Des was an amazing distraction to everyone in the room. The crowd watched them as the dance began. Alec was just as caught in it. How Des drew the crowd was how the demon of lust worked.

"Now, Alec, it's time for that dance I promised you."

How he looked up at me was a heady thing. He licked his lips and for a few seconds, I thought he might deny me again. That it might be even longer before I could convince him. But after a pause and the way he gnawed on his bottom lip, Alec nodded. Even his hesitation was alluring, and I smiled.

Reaching out, I let my hand cup his face, the evening stubble scraping my fingers, and I eased the lip out from between his lips. It was plump and wet and I was only just able to restrain myself from kissing him. I wanted a taste, and it would be soon, but I also wanted to make sure he was sure. His hesitation might be cute, but I couldn't wait to be with an enthusiastic Alec. The thought was as exciting as everything else.

Instead, I used the touch to his cheek to pull him a little further into the crowd. A crowd that was already moving with the beat and I grinned at the choice Des had made for their opening song.

I want to fuck you like an animal.

Nine-inch nails was always a crowd pleaser. They were already moving along with Des's show. I think Des fed off the fact their dances made the rest of the club move with them. It was the closet they could get to an orgy on the main club floor. Not that it didn't stop them from moving the show into the private rooms later. But Des always waited for the lust to reach its peak.

That would be more time than I needed to get my dance in.

"Pry." Even though the music pulsed around us, I could hear him clear as day. Just the gentle sound of his voice made me want to move in closer. But I waited. "I don't think this is a good idea."

"You do." I still waited. I don't know why, but I needed him to come to me. "Why do you keep fighting this?"

My whole existence is flawed. You get me closer to God.

It was like those words were a catalyst, and Alec decided. He met my body, molding against it like he belonged there. I didn't hide what that did to me, letting him feel my arousal. Alec moaned and the sound zipped down my spine. He was perfect, and I was going to enjoy this dance.

If I was lucky, this wouldn't be the only dance we had. Then maybe I would have more.
