Nothing was wrong. I was embarrassed, insecure, and uncomfortable, but it was in my head.
Until someone brushed my shoulder, and I stilled, feeling a hand graze my ass.
“Mmm, I know you,” the male voice said. “Rika Fane, Trevor’s girlfriend, right?”
No. Not right, I immediately thought.
But then I froze, recognizing the menacing tone that always seemed to carry a double meaning no matter what he said.
Damon.
“What are you doing here without your man?” he taunted. “And who got you all trussed up like this?”
The skin on my arms hummed, and I wanted to rip the blindfold off. I didn’t like him looking at me when I couldn’t see.
Damon wasn’t safe.
I swallowed the lump in my throat, holding my ground. “Trevor’s not my b
oyfriend.”
“Too bad. I like playing with shit that’s not mine.”
And then his finger grazed my bottom lip, and I twisted my head away. “Stop,” I demanded.
But then he wrapped a hand around the back of my neck and pulled me in. “You sleep over at the Crist’s sometimes, huh?” he growled low, his breath falling on my lips. “You’ve got your own room there?”
I planted my hands on his chest, trying to push away, but he gripped my hip with the other hand, holding me in place.
“Damon!” I heard a bark come from behind him. “Fuck off and leave her alone!”
It wasn’t Michael’s voice.
Damon sighed and challenged in a bored tone, “I take what I want when I want it, Kai. We’re not in high school anymore.”
I ground my teeth together, struggling against him, but he wrapped both arms around my waist like a steel band, and I felt his whisper above my ear.
“How about I visit your room tonight, huh?” His hands dropped to my ass, and I squirmed, pushing against him, but he was too strong.
“Will you open the door for me?” he whispered against my lips. “Will you open other things for me?”
And then his hand dropped between us, sliding between my legs and rubbing me over my skirt. I let out a scream, but he cut me off, covering my mouth with his. I couldn’t breathe as I squirmed and cried out, the sound muffled under his lips.
Michael, where the fuck are you?
I balled my fists against his chest and grabbed his bottom lip between my teeth, biting down hard until he released me and shot backward.
“Fuck!” he yelled, and I drew in ragged breaths, holding out my hands, because I didn’t know where he was or if he was coming back at me.
I felt a small breeze, sensing someone else coming up.
“I said back off!” Kai yelled, sounding as if he was in front of me.
“She bit me!” Damon raged.
“Then you got less than you deserved!” Kai shot back. “Go downstairs and blow off some steam. It’s going to be a long fucking night.”
I reached up, grabbing the blindfold and wanting to see, but instead, I dropped my hands, curling my fists in anger.
