How the hell did I get myself into these situations
? Or rather, why did my brothers get me into these situations? I thought driving to Rubens bar tonight would change my mood slightly from being pissed, because Lily was with someone else, but it hadn’t, thanks to my ass-of-a-brother who had tried to fix me up. Being dumped with Michelle by Ruben really did piss me off. It wasn’t her fault, so the least I could do was be polite.
I really wanted to head home.
One of the
waitresses brought our drinks and placed them on the table. I knocked the whiskey back and then empted half the beer. Michelle just sat and watched me while she sipped her wine and snacked on the peanuts that had been left on the table.
“What do you do, Michael?”
“Construction,” I replied dryly. This was not a date, so date questions didn’t apply and hopefully she would start to get the hint and look around for someone else.
“So
you build things, like at a construction site?”
I sat forward
and looked at her for a minute. She really was pretty. She had a slim build, blond hair, blue eyes and large breasts, which she kept pushing up with her arms. Anymore pushing up and they’d fall out of her dress.
“Michelle, I don’t mean to be a bastard, but this isn’t a date. My brother though
t I needed a woman, but I don’t. In fact, I have one. She just isn’t free right now. I’ll buy you dinner, if you’re hungry, but afterwards, I’ll be leaving, alone. I need you to know that.”
“She’s one lucky woman.”
“Yeah.”
I leaned back on the
chair and watched the dance floor while I finished my beer. Ruben had really done well with this place. McKenzie’s had done the renovation work, and at the time I’d told him he was crazy for wanting to do this, but now, I knew different. Sebastian had told me the place was packed every night with people lined up outside waiting to get in. The club had only been open about a week, but hopefully that would continue.
A quick glance back to Michelle assured me she was more than occupied.
“Why don’t you go over and say hello?” I suggested, hoping she’d take the hint.
She stood up and
, without another word, stomped off in the direction of the two guys who had been giving her the eye.
I picked up another beer
, but before I could take a sip, my eyes came into contact with the object of my desire. I put the beer back onto the table and watched every move she made.
David had his arm around her waist as he spoke to another guy, but Lily didn’t look happy. I really wanted to go over there and talk to her, to make her smile. She looked so sad and
….stunning.
She had a pair of
silver stilts on with a very short dress, which showed most of her legs. The dress was a mixture of silver and black with long sleeves. It was sexy as hell.
My blood
started to boil, and so did my temper. She was mine, and he had no right putting his hands on her.
Fuck.
She lived with the bastard. I breathed heavily and tried to get my jealousy under control.
She was the most beautiful woman in the room
, and she was getting rather a lot of looks from the guys who had spotted her.
I watched
their group move further into the room and head towards the bar. That’s when I noticed the back of her dress. I nearly choked on my beer. It was backless. Her dress was backless, right down to just above her ass. My cock pushed desperately against my zipper, wanting to play. Hell, I’d be lucky if I could walk out of the place. I sure as hell had no intention of leaving until I’d spoken to her. Or touched her.
I picked my beer up
, leaned back against the chair again and watched her.
Chapter 13
~~ LILY ~~
G
oing out with Val and Daniel had been a good idea, because they caused a distraction. I really did like Val, although Daniel was a bit of an idiot. David liked him and usually talked Daniel’s ears off, which would usually leave me alone to do my own thing to some degree. But not tonight.
I
’d worn a new dress that I’d been itching to wear and for the first time in like, ever, I’d gone without a bra. Very big mistake. David became all amorous, which I really could have done without. Since we’d left the apartment, he did nothing but touch me. It was probably the most he’d touched me in five months.
Val kept looking at me funny. I tried to separate fr
om David to go and chat with her, but he insisted I wasn’t going anywhere on my own. If he didn’t let go of me soon, he’d get a stiletto in his foot. That was one thing I knew for sure.
The club he
brought me to was new and looked like a really hot place to be. It was packed and the music was loud, just how I liked it. The only downside to being in a club was that David didn’t dance, and he wouldn’t let me. He was afraid other guys would get the wrong idea. The only guy I wanted to get the right idea was Michael, and he wasn’t here.
It wasn’t e
ven twenty-four hours since we first met and already I was longing to see him, to be standing in front of him. He tied me in so many knots. The guy should come with a warning, because hell, with a single look from him, I had soaked panties.
“Lily, are you
all right?” Val asked me.
“I’m fine. Just tired
. Had a busy day at work.”
Her eyes nearly popped out of her head. “I thought….I mean
….”
“I started a n
ew job today, at McKenzie Holdings.”
“You did?
”
Why did she sound so stunned? What the hell had David told Daniel
? I needed a minute to myself. I stood up abruptly.
“I’ll come with you, Lily,” David said as he stood to join me.
“No. You. Will. Not. I’m quite capable of going to the bathroom on my own.” I startled him. Good. I turned my back on him and stormed to the restrooms, or rather the direction that I thought they would be in.
I came to a stop
close to the bar, not having any idea in which direction to turn.
“Can I help you? You look lost.”
I turned and was stunned to be standing in front of a guy who looked just like Michael.
“Ruben,” Michael growled as he approac
hed without taking his eyes from mine.
“I take it you tw
o know each other?” Ruben questioned, pointing out the obvious. He held his hand out to me, drawing my attention away from Michael. “In case you didn’t catch it, I’m Ruben, his brother.” He pointed to his side.
“I’m Lily.” I shook his hand as Michael moved in closer.
“Don’t you have something to do?” Michael grouched at his brother.
Ruben
laughed and after hitting him on the back, walked in the opposite direction.
Michael stood so close to me and placed his hand
s on my hips. “Dance with me Lily. Let me have you in my arms for a little while.”
My heart beat wildly,
sending a pulse straight between my legs. I’d never felt so hot.
“We’ll dance in the dark, over there. No one will see us.”
I nodded.
He released my hips and took my hand
, leading me to the back of the dance floor which was as dark as night.
Michael released my hand and wrapped himself around me from behind. “If I’m in front of you
, I won’t be able to stop myself from taking your lips,” he whispered in my ear.
I wanted to turn my head and capture his
lips. My nipples were pebbled and my thong was soaked, all in the space of a few minutes. He was wrapped so tightly around me, I never wanted to move.
My hands reached for his as we entwined our
fingers together. His cock felt hard as rock when he rubbed it between my ass cheeks. I pushed back against him. He groaned. “Lily,” he took a deep breath, “you keep doing that, I’m going to come like a teenager. I want you that badly.”
“I want you t
oo.” I raised our joined hands to my breasts. “Feel what you do to me.”
He used his fingers to rub circles over
my aching nipples. I moaned and pressed my ass into him. I moved my hands and reached behind me to his hips, then dug my nails in, pulling him against me. We moved to the beat of the music as though we were the only two people in the room. It was the most erotic dance of my life.
“Lily, we really need to stop,” he whispered again as he slipped a hand into the back of my dress and caressed down to my waist
, then slowly moved up to my breast, cradling it in his palm. He gently rubbed my nipple between his finger and thumb. My whole body felt alive and ready to combust.
“Michael, oh go
d.” I threw my head back on his shoulder, and reached up with my hand to run my fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck. I felt him shudder against me. I turned my head and looked straight into his eyes. I could hardly breathe. I wanted him between my legs. No, I needed him between my legs.
“Lily, you crush me.” He leaned down and
nuzzled my neck. I couldn’t control the shiver that racked my body. He moved his other hand and started to lift my dress.
“Michael,
” Ruben said from behind us.
“
Fuck
…. Ruben go away.”
“The guy she c
ame with is looking for her.”
He gripped me even tighter. “Okay.”
We were both breathing really heavily, our chests heaving up and down. Michael removed his hand from my dress and turned me to look at him. “You’re a lot more than my assistant, Lily. I know we’ve only just met, but I don’t want you to think that I’m taking advantage of you, because that’s so far from the truth. I want you so damn much, it’s killing me.”
I took his face between my hand
s and brought his head down, pressing my lips to his. He growled. I wanted to melt into him. Where I found the strength to step back, I’d never know.
I smiled up at him. “I want you too
, Michael. But perhaps it’s for the best that we got interrupted.” I dropped my hands from his face.
“Lily, there you are,” David said as he arrived at my side with Daniel and Val trailing behind him. “Oh, Michael McKenzie, I didn’t know you
where here.” He looked from me to Michael and back again.
“My brother, Ruben, owns the
place,” Michael told him.
I was surprised because I
didn’t know that, not that we’d had time to talk about it, we’d been more interested in touching each other.
David put his arm around me and stared at Michael.
God, David was an ass.
“We’re leaving,” David announced.
“I’ll see you tomorrow, Michael,” I said, not wanting to leave him.
As David started to drag me out of there, I reached out and briefly squeezed Michael’s hand. I seriously thought he was going to pull me out from under David’s arm.
“Lily, why were you standing in the dark talking to him?” David asked as soon as we walked outside.
“I got lost looking for the bathroom and his brother came to my rescue, just as Michael appeared. He’s my boss, I wasn’t about to ignore him.”
David had a strange look on his face, which I couldn’t decipher. “If you say so.”
We climbed into the taxi which Daniel always managed to find
within minutes. Sitting back in the taxi I wondered whether David saw Michael and I dancing and how we were wrapped around each other. If he did he wouldn’t say anything until we arrived home, so at least I would know in an hour. I realized that I wasn’t actually bothered if he had seen us.
Michael made me feel desirable and so damn hot. He only had to look at me and I tingled from head to foot
, and that was only knowing him for a short while.
I really couldn’t wait for work tomorrow, so I could be close to him again.

MICHAEL ~~
Back at home,
I’d been unable to get Lily and her sexy body out of my head. She was one mighty fine woman with the longest legs I’d ever seen. The thought of having them wrapped around me and the feel of her full breast in my hand made me rock hard.
In the end
I’d hit the shower and used my hand to get some relief so I could actually sleep, but it hadn’t helped any. No sooner had I dried off and climbed into bed, was my cock stiff again.
A
fter a crappy night’s sleep, thanks to Lily and my very stiff body part, I found myself at the office earlier than usual. I walked into the elevator with more enthusiasm than normal, excited because I was closer to seeing Lily. She wasn’t due into work for about an hour and a half, but she would hopefully be there soon.
As I stepped from the elevator I just stood and took in my surroundings while I was unobserved.
I could hear one of the receptionists pottering around in the small kitchen. Normally, I would arrive when the reception area was fully staffed, but not today. Usually, the minute I stepped into reception I would have their eyes on me and Jacky fluffing her hair, offering me a lot more than what I ever intended to take.
