mussed waves behind her ear. “I won’t fall back into being another plaything for you. Excuse me.”
She pulled her wrist away, and I removed my grasp. I watched her take a few steps down the hall. The show on the front stage must have ended because the hall began to fill with people headed to the restroom.
I moved through the crowds and stepped in front of her, blocking her path to the main floor. “I’m not giving up on you, Jill. You will see that I have never stopped loving you.”
She blanched at my words, and the gesture was painful to watch.
“Have dinner with me.” I prompted, forgetting the speech I’d practiced earlier in the evening. I hated feeling so bloody out of control.
Jillian blinked a few times at my offer, completely caught off-guard. “Are you asking me on a date? Or is this an order?”
“We’ll talk and then you can decide once and for all.”
For a fleeting moment, Jillian seemed to have softened, and then she rolled her eyes.
“Decide what, Mason? Should I decide whether I want to keep letting you toy with me? You’ve been a real wake up call. Thanks for that.”
She moved away from me, and I felt what was left of my heart walk away with her. She’d left me like a fool, standing in the hall. I was at a loss.

An hour had progressed and I couldn’t help myself. I couldn’t take my eyes off Jillian. I watched, from a distance, as she laughed and talked with Piper and Elyse over drinks. Jackson was especially kind to them, showering them with endless drinks and appetizers of their choosing. I didn’t approve of Jillian’s third cosmo. Then Elyse took Jill’s hand and I watched them dance together under the violet lights. The girls moved their bodies together and I watched Jill bite her lower lip as she tried to keep up with her saucy friend. She caught my gaze briefly from the dance floor, and then casually glanced my way every so often to check if I was watching.
Oh, yes, I’m taking it all in, darling.
S he caught my gaze as I watched her body move with her friend. She was buzzed from the two cosmos, and I fought to control my wits. She smiled at me like a sly fox and began to move her hips in a slow, circular motion. It reminded me of the way she used to ride my cock. She was fucking with me, and there was something spectacular and incredibly arousing about this side to Jillian.
Fuck. Me.
A few blokes came up to them and danced with Jill. She was completely uninhibited at this point, and moved her body, sandwiched between the two bastards. I fought my horrendous struggle to not storm over there and drag her away from those pricks. She was Mine. My tormenting vixen. I had no one to blame for this, but myself. I was the one who stirred something within her. I saw it in the spark within her dark eyes when she looked up at me, just before she left me in the hall.
After toying with me for some time, she left the dance floor to get some water from the round bar. I seized the moment and approached her as she waited for her order. She was sweaty and flushed crimson.
“You tease,” I murmured to her amongst the other patrons who were lost in their own conversation. I still expected her to acquiesce at any moment.
She looked over to me but said nothing. The bartender handed her the ice water and she took several sips. She watched Elyse continue dancing under the lights, distracting herself from conversing with me any further.
At that moment, Jackson approached us at the bar. He slapped his hand on my shoulder and gripped too firmly.
“Glad to see you show your face tonight, cuz.” Jax gave his typical smirk.
“Yes, well, I can say the same for you. It’s good to see that you’ve descended from your estate in New Rochelle to mingle with humankind.”
“I had personal matters to attend to,” Jackson gave a cryptic response but a knowing grin. “I’m sure you can
