Without giving Kat a warning, I stand with her still in my arms and guide her legs around my waist. She might hate me later, but that’s probably for the best. She places her arms on my shoulders with a death grip and turns her head to the side to take in the scene of about half the partygoers watching the fight that’s about to start. She tightens her legs around my waist and wiggles, but like hell if I’m going to put her down. I have a point to prove, and I’m really hoping she goes along with my crazy plan.
“You asked me to trust you, but now I’m asking you to have a little faith in me. I got this, Princess,” I warn her just as I grip her round ass cheek with one hand. I try to ignore the breathless whimper that just rushed out of her sexy mouth and pat Beast on the back with my other hand to have him step to the side to let me through. He glances over his shoulder with an irritated scowl, but he raises an amused eyebrow at Princess and me. The fucker.
“Shut the fuck up and let me through, bro.” I roll my eyes at the smile he gives me and the blushing girl in my arms.
Does she have to keep squirming? She’s rubbing up against me, and it’s having an effect on my body that I have no control over, because it feels damn good. I drop her a little so she can feel how hard my dick is straining in my jeans. Her startled gasp and the way she slightly moves lets me know she likes what she’s feeling, and she starts chasing her pleasure in small subtle movements without even realizing it. She’s killing me slowly but man, what a way to go to have her in my arms.
“What the heck, you dickhead! Put my friend down this instant! I’ll kick you in the balls if I have to. Kat, you okay, chica?” asks a girl who appears out of nowhere and gets in my face, pointing an accusing finger at me, as if I hurt Princess or something. The fuck, I would never hurt her.
“Beast?” I question him and watch his big shoulders shrug in a gesture at that says ‘what the fuck you want me to do?’ but he hasn’t stopped looking at the little Latina who’s shouting at me with lust in his eyes. Well damn.
“Mary! Calm down, you don’t look so good,” Kat says, worrying about her friend. We watch as Mary sways on her feet, but she just keeps glaring at me.
“I’m perfectly fine. Might’ve had too many drinks, but you know your girl can handle it just fine. I was just looking for some big dick around here until I heard some shouting, and I came out to find you here with this dickwad. Who is this, and why are you still holding her?” Mary asks both of us at the same time in a drunken rush, completely ignoring everyone staring at us.
I look at Kat before answering, but notice her face turning pale at whatever caught her attention by the doors leading inside. I glance over to follow her gaze and see Jeff staring at her in an intense way, almost like ownership. Victoria is wrapped around his arm, but her face is red, and she’s taking in the girl in my arms like she wants to scratch her eyes out. Kat clears her throat, and I whip my head back to her to see her already looking at me with an apology in her gaze. I don’t know why she’s sorry, but I might have to say sorry to her in a few moments after I answer Mary’s question.
“I’m Granger, her boyfriend,” I state calmly, then almost choke to death on nothing because I sure as shit did not expect the next words that come out of her mouth
“I’m his girlfriend. That’s why he’s still holding me and practically humping me. He can’t keep his hands off of me,” she says straight-faced, but I notice the twinkle in her eye as she quickly looks at me before glancing at the enraged Victoria.
The ex from hell bats away Jeff’s arm that’s draped around her and charges at us with a flushed face of rage that matches her red hair. I roll my eyes at Princess and almost chuckle when she hides her face in my neck to snuffle her laughter, judging by her shaking shoulders. I start to slowly slide her down my body until her booted feet are planted back on the worn deck. She bites her luscious lips, and I can almost, and I mean almost, forget about Victoria screaming like a crazy lady in front of us.
“Are you fucking kidding me, Granger?! This cunt is your girlfriend? Please, you know you can do so much better,” Victoria yells at me, but it’s not a struggle to ignore my ex as I watch Kat’s expression pale a little and her fingers tremble. I place my hand in hers with a slight squeeze.
I turn back to face Victoria once her words register with me to see her pointing a finger at Kat as she stares at me with a snarl on her face, and I wonder what the hell I ever saw in her. The ugliness runs deep and changes her appearance on the outside to something hideous that even her makeup can’t fix.
I place a protective arm around Kat’s stomach when Victoria swings her gaze to her and steps closer with a raised hand, like she might strike her with her red clawed nails. Kat’s body jerks next to me like someone kicked her, and before I can tell my ex to back off, she’s suddenly screaming because Mary has jumped on
