features.
“I’m here for you, Alexandria. ” I gulped.
“What do you mean?” I was utterly confused.
Onyx smiled, raised his hands and slid them under my platinum wig. He worked for a minute and freed it from my head, letting it drop to the ground.
“I don’t just want a dance tonight for the hour I paid. I would never be able to fully enjoy it , knowing the moment I left you would be moving these sinful hips across another man’s lap.” For effect, his fingers curled around my thighs, digging in as if he was claiming them. My blood sizzled, my heart thumped, and my core throbbed hard.
“Most people don’t think about other men while I’m moving my hips.”
“Cute,” he said, not nearly as amused.
“I don’t know what you’re looking for, Onyx.”
He looked from the floor up to my face and grinned wide. “That brings me to my proposition.”
“Oh?”
“Tonight, instead of spending the rest of the evening turning different men’s worlds upside down—just flip mine. Leave here with me. Right now. We’ll go somewhere where you can give me that dance, and I know you will be mine. Only mine , for the entire night.”
I was speechless. Onyx wanted me all night long . None of this seemed real. Not to mention I never went home with anyone. Then again, I had never been so infatuated with someone before either.
“I’d be missing out on a night of tips.” It was the last thing on my mind, truthfully. However, bringing it up gave me longer to process what was going on.
“That’s a simple solution, love. You tell me how much you would make if you were here tonight, and I’ll pay you that amount.”
“You’re going to pay me to leave with you?”
“No. I’m going to reimburse you for your tips. I’m simply going to ask you to leave with me.”
Onyx backed away from me, giving me a moment to think. I watched him as if it was a life or death matter as he strolled about the room. It was never a rule of mine to not get involved—it was just a way of life. My heart was taken by one, and there were no other places open for anyone else. Being at the club kept me from feeling alone without feeling involved.
And now Onyx wanted to change up everything I knew. Was it worth it? For just one night? I chewed on my bottom lip as he plopped down onto the chair. The smirk on his face never subsided. Onyx knew the power he held and he was eating it up.
“I don’t know, I mean people are going to talk. The girls, Maurizio, and what if Kayne found out?”
Onyx narrowed his eyes , and was back in front of me. Our bodies touched with how close he stood, his hand slid around my waist to my lower back.
“None of those people matter, Alexandria. I will take care of Maurizio, but that’s all. The only things that matter right now are you and me.”
“But…” Before another word left my mouth, his hand pressed the back of my head to his and he kissed me hard. Any anxieties or fears I had about leaving faded as Onyx worked his tongue with mine. That one kiss stimulated every emotion I held back when it came to him. His mouth was soft, rough, and tasted damn good. My fingers wound back into his hair, and I knew I had my answer.
As Onyx broke away, I panted heavily in his arms. We stared deeply at the other and I knew we shared something very important. We wanted each other in this moment more than anything else in this world. I needed to feel him in me , and there was no way I could turn down one single night with him.
Onyx seemed to receive my answer , and let that wicked smile shine.
“It will be our little secret, Alexandria.”
Before we left the room Onyx slid my wig back into place. When I asked what the point of that was, the response I got just about made me jump his bones right there.
He looked at me with a smirk, adjusting the wig. “Because when you are here you are Kandi. The other men can fantasize about Kandi, but I want Alexandria. And her I won’t share.”
