“Hey, Vicky,” he leaned in to give me a kiss on the cheek.

Then he smacked Luc on the shoulder, “Hey, big man,” he chuckled.

“Brad this is my friend from back home, Nessa, this is cousin Brad,” I said, making the introductions.

Brad took her hand and brought it up to his lips. “A pleasure, Nessa,” he said while his eyes raked over every inch of her body. Inwardly I was patting myself on the back. They made for a good-looking couple.

“Nice to meet you, Brad,” Nessa responded with a cool tone as if she wasn’t affected by his hotness or suave ways. I knew better.

“Shall we?” Brad said, opening the front door and motioning for us all to enter. The place was beautiful. Everything was white and shiny with purple fluorescent lighting that radiated off the white furniture giving the place a funky glow. The place was jam packed with people but the hostess showed us to our table right away.

“This way, Brad,” she said as she walked us to a table at the center of the room. She was practically undressing Brad with her eyes. She placed menus on the table and walked away while her eyes stayed glued on Brad. Luc mouthed, I told you so, to me. I threw back my head laughing. Then I nodded my head letting him know that all would be okay.

“What are you ladies drinking tonight?” Brad asked.

“I’ll have a Cosmo,” I responded. Then I wasn’t so sure it was a good idea because Luc didn’t drink. “Are you okay with me drinking?” I whispered in his ear. He turned his head so his lips were grazing my ear. The contact sent shivers down my neck.

“Yes, you are a big girl and if you want to drink then drink,” he whispered back, while placing his hand on my thigh under the table.

“I’ll have a Cosmo too.” Nessa smiled.

The waitress came around and Brad ordered the drinks for everyone like he was in charge. I noticed Nessa’s eyes sparkle as she watched him in action. The waitress brought around our drinks and a sparkling water for Luc. Then we ordered a bunch of appetizers from the menu. The place was nice with upbeat music and a large dance floor off to the back. The four of us sat enjoying the food, the drinks, and the company.

“You want to dance, Nessa?” Brad asked looking to her. He had already stood up so either he knew she would say yes or he was going to dance without her anyway.

“Sure,” Nessa replied extending her hand as she stood up from the table. Luc’s hand continued to rub my thigh, only now he was moving up and my heart rate accelerated with each inch he got closer to the apex of my thighs.

“Luc,” I breathed out.

“Let’s get out of here,” he responded with a hoarse voice.

“You’re okay with this?” I suddenly asked. Me, who didn’t think twice about sleeping with strangers, was considering his feelings. “What changed from this morning?” I asked, remembering his fingers running over my scalp. He wouldn’t touch anything but my head.

“I had all morning to think. You know the truth about me and you haven’t run away…I know what you need, and although I do believe I’m not good enough for you, I’ve always been selfish when I want something. Right now I want you, I need to bury my dick so deep inside you that I can’t focus on anything else right now,” he exclaimed, as his finger gently rubbed my clitoris through my panties. I was a hot pool of desire in the center of the restaurant. “If you don’t leave with me now, I will make you come here,” he said with his voice filled with promise. Holy hell, he’s so damn intense.

“That does sound enticing, Luc…you know I like public displays of sex…” I smirked then raised my brow almost challenging him. Of course this establishment was not the type to welcome open displays of sex, I was just playing with him.

“I would much rather take you home to my bed, and fuck you seven ways to Sunday, so that I can hear you call out my name and trust me, Vicky, it will be so much hotter and intimate than the public displays of sex you are used to. I want that hot pussy of yours wrapped around my dick….” he continued and I put up my hand to stop him. My chest rose and fell rapidly, and I’m sure I looked flushed.

“Take me home, Luc, take me home now,” I answered and I was almost begging.

“Your wish is my command, pretty girl,” he said, pulling his fingers away from my clit. Between his subtle strokes and hot words I was close to having an orgasm at the table. Luc stood first and extended his hand.

“Let me just tell Nessa we are leaving, maybe she needs a ride back to the apartment.” I said as my heart beat rapidly in my chest.

“Okay, although I hope she doesn’t need to ride back with us, I need you alone,” he said, releasing my hand. I made my way to the back of the restaurant. The music was louder back there and the dance floor was full of sweaty bodies bumping and grinding to the beat of the music. I finally made it over to Nessa, who was rubbing her behind into Brad.

I walked up to Nessa and tapped her shoulder since she hadn’t seen me. “Nessa,” I yelled out.

She turned and looked at me with lazy eyes, she was already drunk. Brad continued to run his hand up the side of her body and I put my mouth on her ear, “Luc and I are leaving, did you want a ride or are you hanging with Brad?”

“She’ll stay with me,” Brad called out while swaying his hips. He turned around and began grinding against another girl.

“Are you sure you want to stay with him, Ness?” I asked, quirking my lips at the side, while watching Brad grind against another girl.

“Yeah, its fun here, Vick, I’m not looking for a relationship, I could care less if he wants to fuck every other girl here. He said he may come to a party with me tomorrow,” she drawled.

I rolled my eyes at her. “He’s my cousin, Ness.”

“So…you said you’re taking a break, I need a new partner,” she answered, as if Brad was the obvious replacement.

“Okay, hon,” I gave her a hug. Brad left the girl he was dancing with and came up to me.

“Don’t worry I will get her home, I have a driver,” he yelled into my ear and then placed a kiss on my cheek.

“Okay, Brad,” I nodded.

Luc was right, maybe Brad wasn’t the best set up for Nessa but what’s done is done. I turned and made my way back to Luc. He would be happy we have alone time.

I walked back to Luc and he took my hand possessively as we made our way outside. I like that he was trying to stake his claim on me. I wondered if it was because some guys were checking me out on the way back to him. As we stepped back out into the cool night, I began to shiver as we walked up to the SUV waiting for us. Luc placed his arm around me and I basked in his warmth. When we got into the SUV this time we were seated close to one another.

“Are we doing this?” I asked, looking up to his green eyes that were glowing in the dark night.

“Yeah, we are, the last two years were easy for me, Vicky. All the women before you that I came into contact with were easy on the eyes but there was no pull, there wasn’t this thing that we have between us…” he paused. “It’s like you could see through to my soul since the moment we met.”

“Yeah, I felt that way about you too that first night looking at you, watching you. I was borderline obsessing over you and I didn’t understand why, but now I do,” I admitted with a nervous cackle.

“We are connected,” Luc hissed.

“Yes,” I responded breathless.

“If I kiss you now, we won’t make it up to the apartment and I don’t think I want Jean, my driver, hearing your beautiful moans,” he said with a deep hoarse voice. Geez! I felt like his words just soaked through my panties. His breaths were just as quick as mine and I wondered how we would ever hold on to make it through the drive and up to his apartment.

The SUV finally stopped in front of our building and Luc took my hand, guiding me through the front door.

“Hi, Tim,” I smiled as Luc walked us up to the elevator and pressed the button. He didn’t even acknowledge Tim.
