“I have a jacket,” I said, tugging on my leather.
“Oh yeah, that reminds me.” April held out her hand. “Pass it over.”
“It’s chilly,” I said, stepping back away from her.
“But in there it won’t be,” she assured me. “Now give it.”
I looked at both Raven and Maddison for help, but I could see neither of them were coming to my rescue. They both wore smiles as they waited for me to do as April asked.
“You’re ridiculous,” I said as I slipped one arm out and then the next. Suddenly, a loud whistle followed by a few catcalls rang out to my left. All four of us turned our heads in time to see a couple of guys walking out of the bar looking in our direction. My cheeks heated and I hung my head, once more questioning my choice in wardrobe.
“Oh, this is gonna be fun.” Maddison rubbed her hands together before she offered the two men an eager wave. “Let’s go.” She reached out and hooked my arm as she began to tug me along.
Just as we reached the door, I took in one last deep, calming breath before they pulled it open and the sound of country music spilled out.
Chapter Sixteen
Rhett
“Rhett.” Mikey slapped me on the shoulder and gave me a little shake. The beer I held in my hand sloshed from the top, and I stepped back to avoid a shower.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” I grabbed the towel Ross held out to me from behind the bar and started to clean up the mess we’d just made.
“Damn,” I heard someone say, though I ignored them. Stupid asses had been eyeing the ladies all night, but I was just buying time until AJ arrived. “I call dibs,” I heard another guy say just as I stood up and held out the beer-soaked towel to Ross.
“No dibs on that girl,” Mikey said with authority, “she’s already taken.” He cupped my shoulder firmly. “Isn’t that right, Rhett?” It’s then my attention was fully gained, and I looked back over my shoulder toward where they were all looking, and I felt my knees practically buckle beneath me.
“Fuck,” I said with a deep groan, and I heard Mikey chuckle. Suddenly my feet were moving fast, carrying me toward my girl. I noticed the moment she saw me, her eyes widening just a fraction.
I paused in front of her, my eyes raking over her body from head to toe, before meeting her eyes once more. “Ladies,” I said, though I didn’t even look their direction. The only thing I was doing was trying to concentrate on the fact that my cock was already growing hard, and it wasn’t the time or the place.
“Hey, Rhett,” Maddison said as she leaned in to offer a hug. “She looks good, don’t she?” she whispered so only I could hear. “Raven says she’s never seen her sister so happy.” When Maddy leaned back, she offered me a wink before stepping past me and moving toward the bar.
“Hi, I’m Raven.” The woman to AJ’s left thrust her hand out in my direction. “I’m AJ’s sister, and you must be Rhett?” I nodded, fully aware of how rude I must seem, but damn it, I felt like my tongue was three sizes too big and words were a blur.
“Yeah.” I finally managed to grunt out a response and she smiled wide.
“I know she looks hot, right?” Raven said with a gleam in her eyes as she bumped her hip against her sister’s. “I’m getting all hot from the lustful gaze you two are sharing.” She fanned her face. “I need something cool to drink.”
Raven reached out, grabbed April’s hand, and pulled her away, leaving only AJ and me remaining.
“Is it too much?” she asked as she looked down at herself. “I had a jacket on, but April stole it outside.”
“It’s, um…” I tried to form the words.
You ever get that hazy feeling, the one that makes you feel a little off-kilter? Like your body is slowly swaying from side to side? I had that.
“Um…” AJ shrugged with a little laugh. “Never been ‘um’ before.”
Without another word, I moved forward, cupped her cheek with my palm, and pressed my lips to hers. She gasped, her lips parted just a fracture, and I took full advantage of it. My tongue dipped in just enough to seek hers, and together they rolled so seductively.
I reached around to place my hand on her back and pulled her body to mine, pushing my hips forward just enough to prove my point. “That’s all you,” I whispered before kissing her again. “You’ve got me all tongue-tied, babe.”
She smiled wide as she gave me that sultry look of hers, the one that was a mixture of just enough sweet and sex that it made my head feel like it was spinning.
“Is this new?” I asked as I used my fingertip to trace over the exposed skin between her breasts. I could literally see the contour of her tits in the center, and I still wasn’t sure I liked the idea of others seeing it too.
“I got it yesterday."
“I’m thinking we need to find April and get your jacket back.” When she frowned, I dipped my head and brought my lips near her ear. “I’m afraid that if I don’t cover you up soon, I’m gonna get myself arrested for taking you right here.”
She moved her head just enough that our lips were now hovering near one another’s. “That sounds intriguing.”
I shook my head, still trying to tame the beast inside of me that wanted to drag her ass to my truck and bury myself inside her. “The problem with this is,
