Looking suddenly pale, she shook her head. She clutched at her heart, her fingers scrabbling to find purchase. Her nails, although short, were leaving red welts on her bare chest and I grabbed her hand, stopping her. I recognized a panic attack when I saw one. Dimitri had had them when he was a kid.

“You’re having a panic attack,” I said in a low voice. “You’re hurting yourself.”

Her eyes were still wide, her hand kicking in mine every now again with the urge to claw.

“I’m going to pick you up and take you to the couch, okay? We’ll sit down and wait for this to pass.”

Without waiting for her permission, I scooped her up into my arms and carried her to the couch, noting that she didn’t fight me.Interesting. She looked small in my arms, the material of her black dress soft against my skin. Sitting down with her in my lap, I banded one arm around her waist, locking one of her arms down at her side, while I gripped her other wrist in my hand. Her dress rode up, the slit in the side giving me a flash of her panties. My cock began to swell—the release I’d denied myself earlier coming back to haunt me.

She started to struggle against me, so I dropped her wrist and began stroking her newly bared thigh. My touch was firm, but gentle.

I didn’t know how long we stayed there, but I did know that I fucking enjoyed the way her little body felt against me.

When her breathing finally calmed, I dipped my mouth to the shell of her ear. “What’s your name?”

She turned to look at me, recognition flickering in her deep blue eyes.

On a shuddered breath, her muscles began to unlock. “Alex.”

“Alex,” I repeated. “Is that short for anything?”

She shook her head. “Just Alex.”

“Well, Just Alex, I’m Nick. Talk to me. Tell me how you’re feeling.”

She struggled against my grip, and my cock liked it, thickening even further behind the fly of my jeans.

She paused, trying to move away from the bulge prodding her ass. “Let me go.”

“Not until you tell me how you’re feeling.”

“Fine. I’m fine.”

Leaning closer, I inhaled the scent of her neck, my mouth edging closer to her warm skin. “I don’t believe you.”

She squirmed against me again.

Even though I knew she was trying to break free of my hold, I wasn’t willing to let her go just yet. “If you don’t want to see my cock again, I suggest you stop moving like that, little voyeur.”

Alex stilled. “I’m not a voyeur.”

“No?” I asked gently, pressing a kiss to her jaw. All the while, I kept stroking her bare thigh. “You seemed to enjoy watching Candy and Jewel.”

She turned her head away from me, breaking the intimacy between us. “I was looking for someone.”

“Who were you looking for?” Leaning forward, I sucked on the juncture between her neck and shoulder, feeling her whole body shudder against mine. When she didn’t reply straight away, I asked her again, “Who were you looking for, little voyeur?”

She let out a deep, shaky breath. “A friend of mine.”

Sweeping my fingers down her thigh, I followed a different path on the way back—one that stroked the inside of her leg, edging closer to her pussy barely hidden by the fabric of her dress. She let out a little gasp, rolling her head back toward me, becoming liquid heat in my hands.

“What do you need?” I asked her quietly, hoping she was shutting out the sound of the party like I was.

She was silent for a beat, then said, “I need you to let me go.”

“No.”

Her chest rose with a deep inhale. As she exhaled, I willed her resistance to break. To give in. She was a club girl, after all. Most of them couldn’t wait to sit on a dick and invite the next guy, but Alex was different, and whether she knew it or not, I was going to be the asshole who took advantage of it.
