waist and pulled me against him as our gazes locked.
    He held my eyes intensely and I was starting to think
about pulling him back in the car and riding him hard when a familiar screech
resounded in my ears “For fucks sake” We both groaned together
      “Well Well, look who it is?” Rebecca trilled loudly and I turned my head to
see her with her arm linked in Masons, her hand rested on his arm possessively.
I rolled my eyes and Kade pulled me closer “God, how wonderful!” I sighed
grumpily and her eyes widened at my ridicule “Well you two look quite cosy” she
smirked and squeezed Masons arm and I flicked a swift glance his way. His
expression was completely detached and he wouldn’t meet my eyes but to be
honest I was sick of deferring to his feelings “Oh we’ll be even cosier later”
I winked exaggeratedly at her and Masons eyes shot to mine, the cold glint in
them made me shudder as Kade pulled me even closer and slipped his hand down to
rest on my backside.
    “I hear congratulations are in order Rebecca. I’m really
pleased for you both. You thoroughly deserve each other” I declared with a
sweet smile “Thank you. Yes Mason and I are so excited aren’t we darling?” she
smirked and my eyes swung to his face. His eyes still held the cold glint but I
could also see the guilt, pain and remorse in them  
    “I’m happy to see you managed to fill your empty bed” she
sneered as she eyed Kade and I saw Masons lip curl at her. “Can I just say
Rebecca” I smiled sickly and leaned further in to her “You won’t be fucking
pregnant forever” she scowled at me “And what’s that supposed to mean?” she
asked and I raised my eyebrows at her and then turned to Kade “You were right
Darling. There really are some obtuse tarts here tonight. Have fun you two” I
tipped my head pleasantly and pulled Kade onto the dance floor
    “Fucking dance with me before I get arrested for flooring
a pregnant woman” he tipped his head back and howled “God, I love you” he said
as a joke but we both shot a look at each other when he said it. He shrugged
“Well it’s not like you haven’t heard it before Ava” he said sheepishly and I
gave him a soft smile and palmed his face “Kiss me” I whispered and I heard his
breath hitch.
      He closed his eyes
“Do you know how long I’ve waited to hear you say that Ava?” he breathed and
then bent forwards and gently brushed my lips with his, his warm breath wisping
across my mouth and then he groaned deeply as he took me in an intense
passionate kiss, controlling and owning me with its fierceness and it suddenly
felt like we were the only two people in the room as his hands slid around me,
one held at the back of my head as the other dropped to the base of my spine,
pulling me in further.
    “Wow” he grinned as he pulled away “Please tell me that wasn’t for Masons benefit” he said and my eyes
widened. Shit ! I had forgotten he was
watching and I took a horrified glance around but couldn’t see him. “Well at
least that reaction to my words proves that no, that wasn’t for Mason’s
attention. But I must say it’s nice to know you forget all about him when I
kiss you” he beamed at me and I couldn’t hold back the grin from my face at his
obvious pleasure “No Kade, I didn’t kiss you for Masons benefit. I wanted you to kiss me and I’d really
like it if you did it again” I said with a fire in my eyes. He grinned and
swept down but this time instead of a demanding kiss it was soft and slow and
exquisitely tender.
    He held his lips against mine as he ended the kiss, his
forehead resting on mine as we danced slow and erotically. He ground up against
me and I could feel his hard erection against my thigh. I groaned and cupped
the back of his head as it was my turn to control the kiss and I took him
vehemently and forcefully and he growled deep in the back of his throat “Please
tell me you’re coming home with me tonight Ava” he asked, his
