Alice
I watched as the crowd of people danced and drank. I really missed Liam and wished he was here even though I was gonna be totally ghosted. I sipped the glass of Cheryl in my hand and sighed. All around me people were vibing and here I was craving for one hot arrogant dude. I had tried to avoid my family not because I hated them, it is just that they are sometimes as annoying as hell, Elizabeth the most. Before I could turn away she spotted me and grinned, she headed my way and I rolled my eyes.
“Not pleased to see me huh?” She said with a grin and I scowled. She and I have not been the best of sisters. I plastered a fake smile on my face when she said that.
“It’s great to see you” I said, hoping there wasn’t malice in my voice. I really couldn’t help it, she had really caused trouble a lot since we were kids. She smiled like she knew I wasn’t pleased to see her, which I wasn’t.
“Oh Alice. I missed you” she grinned and ruffled my hair. “At least you got a rich husband huh?” She said and I could have sworn jealousy filled her voice. She waved as she walked away and I smiled inwardly if only she could take what I took from Liam. I sipped the last of my drink and sighed as the flavor hit my tongue, where the hell the Liam, he promised.
I started to sense a familiar presence watching me. Expecting Liam, I turned only to find his brother Kane watching me, he approached me as soon as I noticed him. He smiled and I smiled back but I was wary, his eyes were as dangerous as Liam’s only that Liam eyes still looked like they had life in them, his brother Kane had soulless dark eyes like a vampire. If I was scared of Liam I was terrified of his brother.
“Can I have a word with you?” he said, his voice was deep, dark and primal. Liam had a deeper voice but it was intriguing. Kane’s voice was very raspy.
“Sure” I replied and he led me to a closet and locked the door. I stared at him surprised, then he grinned, an evil grin.
“I like you pimp” he said and I backed away, making him grin wider. He lunged for me but I slapped him hard, the sound echoed and he smiled and grabbed my hands and pinned me to the wall, he cupped my breasts and I screamed. He slapped me and I quietened.
“Quiet slut,” he snarled, “I am sure Liam wouldn’t mind sharing” he said.
“I do mind” a deep familiar voice said behind us and I nearly sobbed in relief. Kane turned and forced a smile.
“Oh Brother, I was merely telling her something,” he said. Liam’s face was as menacing as a lion. Kane noticed this and gulped, so the coward was afraid of Liam. Liam slowly approached him and scowled.
“You are molesting my wife” he growled and Kane raised his hands.
“I wasn’t” Kane lied and Liam clenched his fists and I knew what was coming.
“So you didn’t touch my wife’s breasts” Liam said. Wait, did he just called me wife twice.
“I…” Kane flew back from the impact of a punch, he collapsed to the floor motionless. Liam turned to me. His gaze was so fierce it took all my willpower to keep his gaze.
“Let’s get out of here” he said and I nodded following on his heels as we walked out but he stopped immediately.
“Shit” he swore and I stopped behind him. He backed into me.
“We should hide” he said and I raised a brow, he never hid from anyone.
“Who’s that” I asked trying to see from his broad shoulders.
“Fucking paparazzi” he growled and led me to a dark drape and pushed me behind them and followed till he was behind me. The space was so small I felt myself pressed against him. I closed my eyes and smiled feeling him hardened behind me.
“Oh God” he breathed and I grinned, “Damn you Alice” he said and I raised my head to look at his face. Liam was smiling genuinely and it was so contagious I smiled back.
“You left me after you promised not to go” I said and he smiled.
“You do not control me” he said and I smiled and pushed back into him, he let out a groan.
“Did you say something” I teased and he scowled.
“I’ll get you back for this” he said and I smiled and grinned when he leaned down and claimed my mouth.
“I love you” I said but he didn’t answer but I didn’t care I knew he certainly cared and at least he didn’t stop me from saying it this time. He stared at me instead and shook his head.
“You won’t stop will you?” he said and I smiled at him and he stared back trying to keep a straight face but his mouth twitched and he broke into a grin.
“Your backside is doing crazy things to me” he said and I chuckled and pushed back farther. He growled and closed his eyes.
“When did you become so bold and seductive” he asked biting my earlobe and I groaned and arched into him.
“Since you made me yours” I whispered and he smiled and clutched me tighter. He poked his head out of the drape and turned back to me.
“All clear” he said and led me out. We walked to the car and slid in, I kissed his cheek and he stiffened, I guess he wasn’t used to this kind of affection.
“You kissed my cheek?” He asked and I grinned at him.
“I did” I replied, he nodded thoughtfully and ignited the engine. His dark eyes regarded me again as if seeing me for the first time then he grinned widely.
“I’ll tear you apart when we get home” he said seriously and I smiled at him.
“I am looking forward to it” I said and he chuckled and the car lurched forward.
“We’ll see about that” he promised. Then he grinned, a dashing one that held promises.
