“Okay.” I nodded. “Come on Alice, we can get free drinks if we dance on top of the bar.”
“Are you sure?” She asked me skeptically and I nodded.
“I’m sure.” I grabbed her hand. “Let’s go and show Xander and Aiden what they’re missing.”
We walked around to the side of the bar quickly and the hot bartender helped us up the bar. I looked out at the crowds of people and for a second I thought about getting back down. I wasn’t so sure this was a good idea, but then Alice grabbed my hands and started dancing and so I went along with her.
“Here are your shots girls.” He handed us the glasses. “No I want to see you drinking them as if they were really blowjobs.”
“Okay then.” We both laughed and grabbed the glasses. I closed my eyes and sucked on the glass and downed the drink quickly and then started swaying back and forth. I could hear some guys whistling and hollering at us and I moved my hips in a more pronounced manner so that I could give them a show. Before I knew what was happening, I felt a pair of strong arms around me and pulling me off of the bar top. I opened my eyes and saw Xander’s fuming face in front of me.
“You are determined to make me blow up tonight, aren’t you?” He growled as he set me down on the ground.
“I didn’t ask you to do that.”
“You looked like you were about to fall, Liv. What were you thinking?”
“What are you talking about? We just got two free shots for—”
“Dancing on top of the bar like some hooker.” He cut me off and I saw him shaking his head. I looked behind me and noticed that Aiden had picked Alice off of the bar and seemed to be giving her a similar lecture.
“I’m not a hooker.”
“Come with me.” He lifted me up again and carried me through the crowds and outside of the club. “What are you doing Liv?”
“What do you mean what am I doing?”
“Why are you teasing me?” He ground out and leaned forward and kissed me roughly, his lips brushing against mine as his fingers ran through my waves and brought my head towards him.
“I’m not.” I mumbled as I kissed him back. He tasted and smelled like lazy sex on a Sunday afternoon and I ran my hands through his hair and held onto him for dear life as he sucked all the air out of me.
“I want you so badly.” He groaned as his hands fell to my ass and he cupped my butt cheeks. “I want to fuck you right here, right now, in front of everyone.” He muttered as he sucked on my lower lip. “I want everyone to know that you’re mine and that I’m the only one whose hands and cock will be getting under that short skirt tonight.”
“Xander.” I moaned, turned on by his guttural talk. My hands flew to the front of his pants and squeezed his already hard cock. I was about to unzip his pants, when something inside of me snapped and I took a step back and pushed him off of me. “No, stop.” I gasped, wiping my lips in haste. “We can’t do this.”
“What?” He groaned, his eyes dark with desire.
“You can’t keep playing hot and cold with me and I can’t keep letting you. I don’t know what’s going on, but the fact of the matter is, I’m not your plaything. I’m not going to fuck you whenever you want me to. We hooked up last week and you regretted it so much that you proposed to my sister. Well, you know what Xander, you can go and fuck her. I’m done. I’m over this. You can just leave me alone, okay.”
He looked shocked at my outburst. It was as if he finally understood that I was not cool with this whole sordid mess. It was as if his cock had just figured out that he couldn’t just play around inside of me whenever he wanted. I was not going to be that girl. Not with him. He was about to say something when Aiden and Alice came out of the bar.
“There you are.” Alice ran over to me and she looked furious.
“Everything okay?” I asked her quietly.
“Your brother is an asshole. End of story.” She muttered and looked away.
“You guys need to leave now.” I said loudly and glared at them both. “And when I say now, I mean that if you aren’t gone from this street in thirty seconds or less I will scream so loud that the police will come running and arrest you both.”
“Liv.” Aiden started to say something and then stopped himself. “I’m sorry.” He sighed and I just shook my head.
“It’s too little too late.” I took a deep breath and looked at Xander as I spoke. “You can’t treat me like this anymore. I’m not going to take it. Just go home and leave us well alone.” I turned around and grabbed Alice’s arm and we walked back into the club, both of us knowing that our fun girls night out had already been ruined, but neither one of us wanting to admit it and go back home.
Chapter Nine
“Welcome home.” Scott opened the front door as we arrived back at the house few hours later.
“Yeah thanks.” I muttered and brushed past him, not in the mood for small talk.
“I’m going to hop in the shower, is that okay, Liv?” Alice asked me softly and I nodded.
“Yeah, I’m going to grab some water and go out to the rocking chair in the back yard. I’ll be up in a bit.”
“Okay.” She nodded and I watched as Scott escorted her down the hallway. I sighed and then walked to the kitchen and looked through the fridge for some food. I grabbed a bottle of water and some string cheese and headed out to the backyard to rock my bad mood away. The sky was beautiful tonight, almost majestic in its’ deep velvety blackness. I stared at the twinkling stars and sat back, enjoying the cool breeze that caressed my face.
