Alec leads me all the way to the bar, where Mark takes our order. I offer a small smile.

We don’t talk much while we consume our first drink. We just sit at the bar, taking in the chaos on the dance floor. I get why he wanted me to wear something tight and short now.

Alec finishes his first drink and then leans down to me. “Want to know why I brought you here?”

I nod, feeling the stubble of his cheek scratch mine. That shouldn’t make a wave of heat travel from my neck to my core. But here we are.

His hands find my back, and he pulls me around the stool and flush against his chest, our hips lined up indecently. “This is where we finally reunited. And I know you were here with Cam that night because he told us all about it. I almost killed him.” He shrugs. “I thought it would only be fair if I got the same treatment. Before I ran into you, he texted all of us that night, saying that he had found this amazing girl who was dynamite on the dance floor. The only time you and I’d ever danced was the winter formal. And I can’t imagine those were the same moves you showed him.”

His hand moves from my back to my collarbone, wrapping around the base of my neck and I all but drag him to the floor to show him what he’s been missing.

He laughs as we find our own spot in the mayhem. I fully open my senses, feeling the music take hold of me.

And then I let go.

Alec’s hands dance on my hips, occasionally digging in, causing me to grind harder against him. We sway, the music singing in our ears and our hearts. We are free, flowing, grinding, getting lost in the high of our touch.

Finding Alec’s left hand on my hip, I lace my fingers with his. Taking my right hand, I hook it up around the back of his neck, crushing us together even more.

An explosion of pleasure erupts on the crook of my neck as his tongue and lips lavish me. My fingers dig into the back of his neck, and a deep groan from his lips works its way through my body.

He bites my earlobe. “Laura, we aren’t going to last all night if you keep this up.”

I spin in his grip, facing him with a smirk on my lips.

Challenging him, I say, “You wanted what Cam got, right?”

Jealousy and a hint of fury erupt in his eyes. He hisses out, “Yes.”

“Well then, we’re just getting started.” I grab his face in my hands and bring his lips to mine.

Within seconds, his lips part, and I slide my tongue between them. He moans into my mouth.

His kiss claims me, scorching my soul.

His hands begin to join in on the fun. One of his hands grabs my jaw, his fingers under one side and his thumb on the other. And then I lose control—Alec takes it all.

He tightens his grip, and pulsing aches throb between my legs. Tilting my head, he runs his lips and teeth down my jaw, latching on to that sweet spot on my collarbone.

A gasp slips past my lips, and honestly, I couldn’t care less that we’re in the middle of the dance floor right now. I want him. Ineedhim.

“Alec,” I whimper.

“What?” His voice is animalistic when he comes up for air.

“Let’s go,” I beg him. I don’t know how much longer I can wait before spontaneously combusting.

He hesitates. I can see he’s fighting it. He probably had a whole night of plans that I am totally vetoing.

“Please.” I graze my finger on the edge of his pants, slipping in into his waistband.

His eyes flutter closed, and his lips part. “Fuck.”

Without another word, he is practically running towards the exist with my hand in his. He shoots a quick message on his phone, and when we get outside, the limo is pulling up.

Alec doesn’t wait for the driver. He is already opening the door, ushering me inside, past the flashing lights.
