us. She gets all Cheshire and I suddenly want to scratch her eyes out. No wonder this woman brings the drama wherever she goes. She practically begs for it.  
    But instead of wrapping my fingers around her bony little neck, I give her a little shove, and wedge myself in between her and Ray.  
    “Hey!”  
    Showing Dina my back, I smile up at him. “Sorry I’m late.” I can’t stop the shiver that runs through me when I rake my fingers through his thick dark hair.
    Ray’s frown deepens and the girl laughs.  
    “Really? I’m supposed to believe trash like you can hook a guy like this?”
    I’m not sure what constitutes trash in her world. But if she spends as much time staring in the mirror as I imagine she does, I can guess she wouldn’t have to look too far to identify it.
    “Just go with it, okay?” I whisper as I stare up into his aquatic blues.  
    “With what? Who are you? I don’t—”
    I grab ahold of his collar and his brow softens a bit. Just enough to give me the courage to help me make up my mind. To decide between what my body is now craving and my mind is telling me is the most logical move.  
    Maybe Ronnie’s right. Maybe I am drunk. It wouldn’t be the first time. It’s just been a long time.  
    “What the hell’s going on here?” a voice growls behind me.  
    I don’t bother to acknowledge it, I keep my focus on Ray’s wide eyes and before he can say another word, I make my move.

CHAPTER FOUR
Ray

    She tugs on me until I’m flush against her and reaches up to pull my head even closer to hers. “Just shut up and let me handle this,” she murmurs in my ear. “We’ll both be better off.”
    Before I can respond her lips are on mine. But not just her lips, her tongue, her hands, her…everything. She’s probing at the seam of my mouth, her fingers tangling in my hair, her knee rubbing against the inside of my leg. My eyes are wide open, so I close them doing my best to follow her lead. I open my mouth and, almost immediately, her tongue brushes mine. She tastes like some kind of sweet liquor and while it’d usually be grounds to get out of a situation like this as quickly as possible, I kind of like it. I’m kind of thinking I could get drunk off it.
    I suddenly realize my hands are idle. I’m not selling this thing at all, but the way I’m feeling, it won’t take too much pretending. Without much thought, I settle them on her waist digging into the flimsy fabric that hangs from her hips, my fingers pressing into the exposed skin just above it.   She flinches a little so I let up. In response, she yanks me even closer, her teeth bearing down on my bottom lip.  
    My knees go weak and a throbbing just little bit higher begins. Her mouth is so warm, her skin so soft, I can’t stop the groan and before I know it her moans are vibrating against mine. I’ve never kissed anyone like this before. I didn’t even know it was possible for a kiss to make your body react this way. I could live in this moment forever. This is definitely a sock on the door kind of moment. Only there is no door, we’re standing in a room full of people and—
    “Jesus,” someone says. “We get it. You’re hot for each other. I was only being friendly.”
    And just like that she pulls away and I work hard not to stagger backwards. I clear my throat and offer a polite nod. “Thanks. I guess?” I mutter as Dina walks off to meet the guest of honor.
    He says something to her, his eyes flashing but I can’t be bothered to make it out. My eyes may be focused on them for this fraction of a second but every other part of my body is tuned into the brunette standing in front of me.
    “You’re welcome,” she says and I give her my full attention. “You looked like you needed a little rescuing.”
    I lick my lips. “Uh, yeah. I mean, I don’t know. Like she said she was just being friendly.”
    “She is Justice’s girlfriend. Known for drinking too much and hooking up with the wrong guys at the
