“Fuck!” Ty swore suddenly, causing the people at his table to look at him. “Sorry.” He muttered, staring into his plate of food which he hadn’t even touched.
“I’m going to break his legs,” Jackson murmured beside Ty, drawing a bitter chuckle from Ty.
“Why bother?” Ty murmured. “She’s obviously moved on. I don’t see her discouraging all the attention.”
“Typical,” Jackson muttered, sounding pissed. “I just can’t believe all it took was a handsome bloke to turn her head. They were probably fucking before you even came on the scene.”
“No, they weren’t,” Ty growled, clenching his fists at the mere thought of someone besides him fucking Tanesha. “She’s not that kind of girl, Jackson.” Ty couldn’t wait to whisk Tanesha away and ask her what the fuck was going on.
And as the evening wore on, the newly promoted Lieutenant Commander got angrier and angrier. The idiot, who Jackson claimed was called Ajay, danced virtually non-stop with Tanesha. She’d only danced with her father and Tristan for some brief minutes. All the other dances were with the guy. Despite the fact that Ty was boiling pissed, he couldn’t help but admire Tanesha though. She exuded utter elegance. He wasn’t surprised when he noticed almost all eyes on the couple.
“It’s time to cut in, don’t you think?” Matt muttered, coming to stand beside Ty. The squad had seen what was going on and were not happy but they didn’t want to say anything to Tanesha as they didn’t want to piss her off any further. Besides, Aaron and Tristan had warned them to stay away from the feisty beauty. Matt therefore felt the only chance Ty had to assert himself was to dance.
“I don’t intend to, Matt.” Ty rasped, watching how the Ajay guy had his hand against the bared skin of Tanesha’s lower back. Ty remembered clearly how smooth that skin felt to the touch and felt his heart pound with fury. “In case you haven’t noticed, the situation is no longer how we thought it was when we had that conversation earlier. If he’s the one she wants, fine.”
“Really? I must admit I never thought I’d see this day.” Matt chuckled. “A day when Ty Wesley would give up something he really wants. How disappointing.” He shook his head as if the most unfortunate thing had happened. “Oh look. Something really slow.” Matt drawled when the band started playing Sister Sledge’s ‘Thank You For Today’, which was a slow song. “Oooh, this is going to be good. See the way he’s pulled her closer? I bet he’s rub…” Matt trailed off when Ty abruptly left his side and stalked purposefully…like a panther towards its prey, to where Tanesha and her date danced. He almost burst into laughter. “Stubborn fool.” He muttered as he turned towards his table, where his fiancee, Jen, waited with a knowing smile on her face. It was no secret amongst the squad how the Petroleum Engineer loved that particular song by Sister Sledge.

“May I cut in please?” Ty asked in a hoarse voice. He didn’t have any choice but to act polite. He couldn’t possibly create a scene in the presence of his superiors and the president of the United States.
“Finally.” Ajay breathed, pressing a quick kiss to Tanesha’s forehead. “Took you long enough.” He murmured to Ty as he stepped away from Tanesha. “See you later kiddo.” With that, Ajay sauntered away.
The confusion on Ty’s face couldn’t be masked as he took Tanesha into his arms. What the fuck had the guy meant by that comment, he wondered. But he didn’t say anything as the woman he knew for a fact he’d die for, melted against him…her head resting comfortably against his shoulder, thanks to whatever heels she was rocking. And at that particular moment, nothing mattered but the woman in his arms. Ty would have died happy. When the song ended, Ty wished he could tell the band to repeat it. But they started belting out Westlife’s ‘Flying Without Wing’, which he thought was beautiful too. He felt a shiver pass through Tanesha as her hands moved up to wrap around his neck. Ty tightened an arm around her waist as his other hand rubbed against her bare back.
“God, I missed you.” He rasped against her ear.
Tanesha’s breath hitched in her throat at the sound of that voice. God, he sounded as sexy as hell. “I could almost believe you,” Tanesha murmured, breathing hard. The feel of Ty’s body against hers, his hands touching her bare skin, his breath on her face, and the beautiful song that was being sung by the talented lead singer was driving her crazy.
Ty winced. “How can you even doubt that?” He growled low in his throat as his hand deliberately moved down to caress Tanesha’s arse, pulling her tighter against him. From the low moan that tore out of Tanesha’s throat, Ty knew she could feel how hard he was. “There was no second that went by that I didn’t miss you.”
Tanesha couldn’t suppress the gasp that tore out of her when she felt Ty’s hand on her arse, pulling her tighter against his erection. Her pussy throbbed in need. She wanted him inside her so bad. “Skull…”
Ty chuckled. It was understandably going to take some time for Tanesha to get used to the fact that Skull wasn’t his name. “What is it, baby?” They were virtually not moving.
“Sorry Tyler…Tyron…Ty. Urgh.” She groaned. “What do you want me to call you?” She whimpered, unconsciously rubbing her cheek against Ty’s neck. Tanesha had obviously forgotten where she was. It felt as though the two of them were in their own world.
“Oh shit.” Ty moaned as a delicious shudder passed through him. “You can call me anything you feel comfortable with.” Ty husked as he tightened his hold on Tanesha, squeezing her arse in the process. And when he felt the wet flick of Tanesha’s tongue against his skin, his eyes fluttered shut. “Christ…” He gasped, so aroused he wanted to fling Tanesha over one of the tables and fuck her hard and fast till she screamed his name in release. “Tan, stop that please…”
“Stop what?” Tanesha murmured, as she licked at a particular spot on his neck. She remembered very well how a mere kiss to that spot drove Ty wild with need. Loving the sound of the irrepressible moan that tore out of Ty, she latched onto that sensitive spot and began to suck.
“Fuuuck!” A low growl rumbled within Ty’s chest as he began to uncontrollably move against Tanesha. They were virtually humping each other on the dance floor. And when a lustful cry of need fell out of Tanesha’s lips, it was all Ty could do not to shoot his load right then. He knew he had to get them off the dance floor before he disgraced himself. He extricated himself from Tanesha and took her hand. “Come on.” He softly instructed in a voice thick with desire.
