Maybe this skirt had been a bad idea, but Raven had insisted I looked crazy hot, and well…that’s exactly what I wanted to be.

For him.

Because that’s the way he appeared to me.

So hot I felt as if I were getting burned alive as he swung all the way off his bike, rising high and so damned mighty where he stood over me. Wearing his signature uniform. Black tee and black jeans and worn motorcycle boots.

The man pure intimidation.

Pure fascination.

Color swirling out from beneath his sleeves and up his throat, his muscles bulging against the fabric.

My stomach twisted in need.

“How the fuck am I supposed to think straight tonight with you lookin’ like that?” he said as he took a step forward. The ground trembled beneath my feet.

He leaned in close, his big body concealing me from the group of people who walked past, the soles of their shoes scuffing on the loose pavement as they headed for the entrance.

He only edged closer. “How am I supposed to keep my hands off you when the only thing I’m going to be thinking about is this sweet little pussy right here?”

His hand wedged between my thighs, and he cupped me over my underwear. Pleasure sparked, and my head tipped back on a whimper.

River wound his arm around my waist to support me, and he burrowed his face in my neck, the words a growl as he muttered, “How am I going to get through the night without being inside of you?”

His fingers pushed against my sex. My vision went fuzzy.

“Maybe we should just go home.” It was an incoherent ramble from my mouth.

River chuckled against the sensitive flesh of my neck, and he kissed along the column as he whispered, “Eager girl. Just the way I like you. My fuckin’ perfection. Don’t worry, I’ll be taking this time to think up all the delicious things I plan to do to you once I get you home.”

I whimpered, and when he suddenly straightened, my knees were weak, and I was barely able to remain upright on the four-inch stilettos Raven had insisted on.

My wild new BFF had squealed yesterday morning when she found out we were the same shoe size when she’d been looking for something to wear while she was getting ready to go down to the shop. She’d claimed we really were meant to be. Tonight, she had been all too excited to dig around in her closet for the perfect shoes to wear with the outfit she’d picked.

River slipped his hand around my waist and pressed his mouth to my ear as he led me out of the shadows and into the spray of light that shined from the entrance. “Want you wet the whole night…thinking of all the ways I’m going to have you.”

I tried to press my thighs together as we walked, only my heels scudded on the gravel, and I nearly tripped.

Chuckling a sexy sound, River clamped his palm down on my ass and squeezed. “Oh, Little Runner, what I’m going to do to you.”

It was me who couldn’t think straight as he bypassed the line and led me directly to the door. A bouncer tipped his head in River’s direction. “Ah, River Tayte. How’s it going tonight?”

“Better than I deserve,” he told him, dragging me closer like I was the reason for it.

The man appraised me, and a smirk tugged at the edge of his mouth. “I can see that.”

He stepped aside to let us in, and I snuggled into River’s side as he led me into the throng.

It was much louder inside. Music blared from the overhead speakers, compliments of the country band that played on the elevated stage on the far side of the bar. The middle area that made up the dance floor was filled with couples doing a quick two-step.

White lights flashed and strobed where they hung from the vaulted ceiling.

A tremor of disquiet rippled through me, that old fear of being in large crowds, worried that someone would see me.

Recognize me.

It was that gut instinct that warned me to slink away and hide.
