CHAPTER THIRTEEN
“Here you go,”Fox said as he slid a plate with a hamburger and fries in front of Teagan at the bar in the Pink Flower.
“Ah, thanks.” She didn’t waste a second and dipped two fries in mayonnaise before stuffing it in her mouth. She hadn’t had a meal in between working at Errin’s dance studio in the morning, her confusing run in with Devlin in his office and working with Julie on her new dance routine.
“Such a waste of good fuckin’ fries,” Fox said with a smile.
She stuck out her tongue, since he’d already ragged her when she’d ordered the mayonnaise. She took a sip from her diet coke, her eyes trained on Julie as she took the small steps to climb the purple illuminated stage in the back of the Pink Flower.
If Julie could kill those first moves on the pole, it would give her so much more confidence. Teagan held her breath when the sexy, drippy-faucet inspired tune of Sex You by Bando Jonez started. Julie swayed her hips in her white cotton thong and T-shirt tied in a knot under her breasts on her way to the pole.
Fox stopped mid swipe, his wet towel stilling on top of the bar as he stared at Julie on stage. “Damn. I’m a sucker for the sexy girl-next-door vibe. That outfit was your idea, wasn’t it, little miss T?”
“Her name is Teagan, brother,” Devlin said from out of nowhere. She grabbed her drink to swallow down the piece of hamburger that got stuck in her throat at Devlin’s possessive growl.
Devlin sat down next to her, his almost seven-foot frame shielding her from practically the rest of the club by sliding his arm over the back of her barstool. She wondered if he’d chosen that seat for that exact reason since there were two seats vacant on her other side, closer to the wall.
She felt his dark brown eyes taking in every inch of her. His masculine smell engulfed her as he leaned in further, resting his other hand on her thigh. Her body responded instantly to his touch. The surge of a needy ache between her thighs made her swivel in her bar stool.
“Stop fidgeting.”
She tried to ignore him and kept her eyes trained on Julie, who absolutely nailed her first minutes. Teagan knew what came next. She’d practiced with Julie on tearing the white T-shirt to tease the men with just a hint of her natural D-cup cleavage.
“Every damn time I turn my back, guys are gawking at you instead of the girls on stage. I can’t even fuckin’ blame them. Look at what you’re wearing…”
She scrunched her brows, glancing down at the simple purple sundress she’d changed into after working with Julie. “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?”
“You’re so sexy. And you don’t even know it.”
She tried to ignore the delicious buzz she got from his undivided attention and stared straight ahead. Julie picked up the water bottle from the edge of the stage and splashed her chest, making her white T-shirt see-through. It worked exactly how they’d planned it, as the guys in her section cheered her on, throwing bills on stage.
“Remember that day weeks ago, when I told you that I’ll never be tamed?”
She searched his eyes, trying to get a feel for his next words. When he’d said that, she’d taken it as a challenge. But now that he’d unleashed his kinky side on her in his office, she wasn’t too sure she would ever want to tame him. His demanding ways were too much fun and satisfying.
“After what happened the other day in that grass field at your farm and earlier in my office; I’m under the impression that I’m not the only one with a wild side. It makes me want to pin you down and fuck you into submission.”
Her heart raced in her chest. He wasn’t that far off. Even though she hadn’t been with anyone in years—her sexual appetite had reached an ultimate high. In some weird, perverted way, she loved to explore how far he could take her.
Something in Devlin called to her. Like her subconscious knew how he could make her forget about all the bullshit that needed to stay in the past. Not only did she ached for Devlin to fulfill her needs, she even hungered for him to do as he’d pleased with her. She’d never felt as free as she did while handing over the reins to Devlin.
“Let me in,” Devlin whispered in her ear, his fingers tracing a line on her inner thigh before sliding under the hem of her dress.
She gripped the bar. “Oh, God. Yes.”
Fox looked up from pouring a corpulent, bald man a whiskey on the other end of the horseshoe type bar. He turned his back to them after a nod in Devlin’s direction.
Teagan glanced around the strip club, glad that they sat at the far end of the club, and that a wall shielded her to one side, a bar in front of her and Devlin on her other side.
The hairs of his beard tickled her behind her ear as he said, “Keep your eyes on Julie.”
She narrowed her eyes; ready to give him hell for mentioning another woman while his fingers reached for her wet panties. She shot him a scathing look, unsuspecting of his lustful eyes locked on hers.
“Fuck, yeah. Show me that fire, Little Bird.”
She turned her head away from him, just in time to see Julie walk off her stage, smiling in her direction. Teagan gave her a thumbs up, but grabbed the bar again when Devlin slapped her pussy underneath the bar.
“Dev!”
