pleased to see him also struggling to breathe, his chest heaving, as he sucked in much needed air.
“Yes…Mel?” I gasped at her.
“Would you like me to leave you here with…?” She trailed off as her eyes shifted to the man before me.
I looked at her face, and then up at Dan’s and just like that, like someone had thrown a bucket of icy cold water over me, like when Mel and I had done the ice bucket challenge a few months ago, reality hit. What the fuck was I doing? I couldn’t do this. This man was more tempting than the apple probably had been to Eve, but apart from the fact I’d promised Mel I wouldn’t pick up a man tonight, I couldn’t pick up this man. As gorgeous as he was, he screamed trouble. There was just something about him, something I sensed in him that told me, to look, but don’t touch.
He was the most incredibly attractive man I’d ever seen and he might think he wanted me now, but a man like that, would not want a woman like me for long. I could be a fool at times but I wasn’t being foolish now. I was looking at him with suddenly clear and amazing clarity. This man had the potential to make it past my walls, and then where would I be? He’d fuck me until he got bored, leave me, break my heart, and I’d be fucked, but no longer in a good sexual way.
“Will you come home with me Grace, please? I would really like to get to know you better.” His voice drew my eyes to him again, and I wavered momentarily, staring up at all that mind blowing sexiness. Reluctantly I looked away from him, to Mel’s expectant blue eyes, and seeing her face was enough for the fog to clear from my brain, and common sense hit in time to save me, from what I already subconsciously knew, would be a huge mistake.
“I can’t, I’m sorry.” I whispered, not looking at him because I was scared I’d change my mind if I did. “I have to go. It was nice meeting you.” The moment the words left my lips, I turned to Mel, nodded once, and understanding filled her eyes. She reached for my hand, and with one final smile to the tall, silent man beside me; she pulled me away from him, and led me rapidly from the club. Mel had known me a long time, and she knew now that I’d needed her to intervene, and stop me making what would surely be a huge mistake.
He was too much for me to deal with alone. He was like Superman’s kryptonite, he was the cupcake to a child, in other words as I’d thought earlier, he was more tempting to me than the apple had been to Eve.
When Mel got me outside, I collapsed back against the wall of the club and bent forward, sucking in air frantically. Away from Dan, my body seemed almost to go into shock, and I began to shake.
“Thanks…Mel…” I gasped. “Fuck, what was that? What is he? Where the hell did he come from? He’s too much. I’ve never encountered anyone like him before.”
“I could see that.” She smiled at me. “He is one good looking son of a bitch, I have to say. The man has an aura surrounding him that has more pussy pull, than all the alcohol a woman could drink.” She patted my shoulder. “I’m proud of you though Gracie girl. You turned him down and girl, if you can turn down a man who looks like him, you can turn down any man. Even I had trouble dealing with his sex appeal. We can’t have sex with a man like him. Someone who looks like him can’t be shit in bed, surely, so it stands to reason if you had fucked him and he was good at it, he’d ruin you for anyone else.”
I groaned. “I know but damn it was hard walking away. I swear he nearly made me come just from kissing him. If he can use those lips like that, I can only imagine what else he can do with the rest of that body.” I grinned. “I felt him too. He was hard, and just before you came out of the ladies, he pushed against me and holy…fucking…hell!” I nearly shouted. “He…felt…huge!”
Mel groaned at my words, which made me groan. She collapsed against the club’s wall
