“Changing. We just got here ourselves.”
Daniel nodded. “I was going to get a drink. Care to join me?”
Alexander motioned for Daniel to lead the way.
While Daniel ordered a water, Alexander ordered a Scotch for himself and a piña colada for Grace. That told him more about how the other Dom was feeling than anything he could have said. He and Grace wouldn’t be going upstairs tonight.
“How’s business? Any issues growing your practice?” Daniel asked.
“Slow, but steady. We’ve been asking for referrals, so that’s helping.” Alexander was a doctor. In the Army, he’d treated wounds caused by gunshots and IEDs. When he decided to open a practice here in St. Louis so he could be with Grace, he’d chosen to switch his focus to pediatrics.
“That’s the way to do it.” He twisted the top off his water bottle and took a drink. Mid swallow, he saw Ali exit the locker room and almost choked.
Alexander clapped him on the back, then stood. “Have fun, man.”
Oh, he planned to have a lot of fun.
CHAPTER20
Ali wanted to cover herself.The baby doll Daniel had selected for her to wear tonight had a sheer top. Her hard nipples were on full display.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, he’d given her no panties to wear. The negligée barely covered her butt. Heaven help her if she had to bend over.
Taking a deep breath, she forced her feet to move. Daniel was waiting for her.
He followed her movement as she weaved through the other patrons, not taking his gaze from her. She focused on him and not all the people around her. Why she could be completely naked upstairs in one of the rooms and not be bothered, yet want to hide in the corner down here, she didn’t know. It was just different.
She came to a stop in front of him and waited.
His gray eyes darkened, and his nostrils flared. “You are a walking temptation.” He lifted a finger to her lips. “You will not speak unless I ask you a direct question or to use your safeword, do you understand?”
“Yes, Sir.”
Daniel slid off the stool and took her hand in his. She thought they would head upstairs, but instead, he led her to the dance floor. He stopped in the middle of the floor, facing her. “Put your arms around my neck.”
She did as instructed, which only made her dress ride up higher on her thighs. Cool air tickled her sex as he brought their bodies together, making her very aware of how exposed she was.
His hands snaked under the short hem of her outfit and cupped her ass, massaging the flesh under his hands as he moved their bodies to the music. The skirt of her dress bunched and lifted, giving anyone who was looking a view of her backside. She tensed.
“Relax,” he whispered in her ear.
He held her tight as they swayed to the music. His hands didn’t leave her ass, but eventually, her nerves eased a little.
Dipping his head, his mouth found hers and she gladly lost herself in his kiss. He crushed her against him as his lips and tongue explored her mouth. Her nipples scraped against his chest, the thin fabric of her nightie doing nothing to dull the sensations surging through her.
He removed one hand from her backside and rubbed a thumb over her nipple, making it harder. He swallowed her gasp and gave her nipple a hard pinch.
“I want you, Ali. I want you like I’ve never wanted anything before.” He cupped her breast in his hand. “This is mine.”
She moaned and he deepened the kiss. All thoughts of the people around them gone.
Removing his hand from her breast, he returned it to her ass, giving both cheeks a firm squeeze. “This is mine.” His voice sounded deep and strained as he ground her against him.
They danced like this, kissing and grinding through two songs. Then one of his hands moved lower and lifted her leg. He hooked her leg around his waist, exposing her even more.
Ali pressed her face against his neck as her heart raced and her sex pulsed. Without his lips on hers, she began to feel self-conscious again. People were all around them and she knew at least some of them were watching.
But her body didn’t seem to care. She was wet despite how self-conscious she was. Her body and her mind were at war with each other.
