that I couldn’t take my eyes from, her long blonde hair was rippling in the breeze and her eyes closed at half-mast as a bloke behind her held her upright in her inebriated condition.
I picked up my radio and cleared my dry throat, attempting to remove the lump that had formed in it. “Let ‘em in, Tank.” I ordered as my eyes remained on her through the camera lens.
I saw him press his finger against his earpiece then move aside to let the party in. The brunette giggled and gave a swift kiss to Tank’s cheek before she turned and gestured for the blonde to follow her, closely shadowed by the fuckwad that was still holding her up with an arm around her waist. I wanted to snap each of the fingers that touched her as well as burn his fucking retinas for looking at her like he wanted to devour her.
I tracked their entry on each of the small screens, watching the graceful, if a little wobbly, glide she walked with, the thin fabric of her dress swaying against her slim hips as she made her way to the main floor.
“I’ll be on the floor” I said as I quickly stood and made my way across the office, my gaze now scanning the huge one way window that looked out onto the dance floor.
“I’ll sort Evan then” Ben sighed.
“Yep.”

I’d watched her for over two hours, never removing my eyes from her as I sat at the bar. She’d glanced at me several times, once or twice letting her eyes roam my body with a hungry gaze or letting them remain for a moment too long on my own.
Fuck, she was so beautiful; her long golden waves tumbling against her back as she danced. Her slight hips rocked sensually as her amazing backside taunted me and her small but firm breasts mocking me as they pressed against the tight material of her dress. Her eyes, even though hazed with her drunkenness, were utterly exquisite, the silver flecks in them sparkling like stars in the dark sky but it was her smile that nearly brought me to my knees; her whole face lighting up prettily every time she laughed.
I was pissed with my dick. I’d never been so hard, my balls tight and painful as I observed the way she moved. I closed my eyes and rubbed at my temples as I angrily tried to control my hunger for her. I couldn’t and wouldn’t allow myself to give her what she was so desperately looking for tonight.
She surprised me; I knew she was engaged to the blonde sad bastard. When I was notified of their engagement, a fury like never before had blazed through me, and its potency had scared me. He wasn’t right for her, even I knew that. The way she looked at him with no glow or want in her eyes made it clear that she didn’t love him, so when she had accepted his proposal, it came as a huge shock. At the time, I’d wondered if she was pregnant but then I’d had to break something at the thought of him being inside her.
Opening my eyes, I found she’d made her way across the dance floor with her friend, Fuckwad still following her like a needy fucking puppy. I could read the longing on his face, his eyes glinting and a wicked smirk on his ugly fucking mouth as he watched Frankie’s arse swing when she walked in front of him. My fists clenched and my heart banged against my chest. Pulling out my phone I dialled Ken.
“Boss,” he answered after the first ring.
“Tall guy, ugly fucking bastard; white shirt, blue jeans, walking across the dance floor with an arrogant swag.” I set my gaze on him so Ken could see who I meant from his position across the room.
“Yep, got him,” he acknowledged with a nod of his head as he turned his eyes to me.
“Get rid of him.”
“Boss.”
I watched as Ken moved fluently across the floor and took hold of Fuckwad’s arm, pulling him none too gently over towards the doors with ease.
Frankie hadn’t even noticed he’d gone missing as her and her friend picked out a song on the karaoke. They both giggled, my dick hardening further as Frankie bent to peer at the screen and gave
