"Let's dance Sweet Ass!" Nick shouted, dragging Stephanie away from Aj, leaving Raquel and Amy to dance with him. Stephanie tried to struggle and escape his strong hand but couldn't manage to shake it off. Once Nick found an empty spot, he tugged her to him, pressing her tightly against his tall body. One of his hands gripped her hair to keep her looking up at him, while the other rested at her lower back, trapping her lower stomach against the growing eagerness in his black jeans.
"Nick I really don't feel like dancing right now." Stephanie stammered as she tried to push away from his chest, but was silenced by his lips crashing down on hers. She resisted as much as she could, keeping her lips pursed together, but Nick continued to try to pry her lips open. He succeeded only when squeezing her rear end roughly, making her shout into his mouth. Stephanie immediately went passive, just shutting her eyes tightly and waiting. When his tongue dove into her mouth, she clamped her teeth down onto it, hard enough to make him push her away.
"You little bitch!" He yelled, too worried with the pain in his mouth to notice her run off the dance floor. She felt tears pounding against the back of her eyes as she searched blindly for the exit. She pushed clumsily through the mobs of people, pushing couples apart to escape the club. She was within reach of the exit when she saw Brian giving her a confused look from the corner then mutter something to Kevin who was standing nearby. She continued her mad dash out of the club, hoping to get away before any of them could catch her. The people that had congregated at the door immediately moved out of her way to let her leave. She was greeted by the cool fresh air of the night.
**~~**~~**
Kevin had watched her run, and gazed around for what she was running from. Suddenly Nick walked towards them, looking slightly pissed.
"What is you're problem, Kaos?" Brian asked, pushing Monica to go get him a drink.
"That little bitch bit me!" He nearly shouted back, his fists clenching at his sides.
"Why would she do a thing like that?" Theresa asked, joining the conversation. "And where did she go?"
Kevin threw Brian a look as not to say anything, and shrugged. " I don't know, but get back to whatever you were doing. She'll show up eventually." With that he walked away, heading towards the exit.
"God, he can be so insensitive!" Theresa grumbled, turning back to face the dance floor. She finally eyed who she was looking for and headed him instantly.
**~~**~~**
Stephanie shivered in the chilly air of the city. She wished she had kept her sweater. She gazed around to decide where the hotel was and noticed a familiar face exit the club. She quickly turned away and moved towards the shadows. The last thing she wanted was to deal with Kevin at the moment. Still she couldn't help stare at him in his black silk shirt and jacket. His hair was in disarray about his head, tousled to perfection. She gulped when she saw him stared in her direction. He had seen her, she knew he had. She began walking away as fast as she could in the heels on her feet. But to her dismay, he caught her arms before she could get very far.
Kevin felt her start pushing away from him, trying to flee. He managed to hold her wrists behind her back and get her to stop wiggling to get away.
"Get your hands off of me…" She yelled, trying to get someone's attention, it didn't help though, it only succeeded in getting Kevin to hold her arms tighter, almost to the point of pain.
"Stop it will you." He growled, jerking her up roughly to where her feet weren't touching the ground. She cried out as her arm popped uncomfortably. "Where do you think you're going? You'll freeze to death out here!"
Stephanie stared up at him in shock. His voice sounded almost concerned with her well being. He carefully sat her back down on the ground and stared into her chocolate eyes. He loosened his grip on her arm and put up no argument when she pushed them off. She shivered again when the frigid air swept against her exposed skin. Kevin noticed instantly and pulled off his jacket, wrapping it around her protectively. He immediately frowned when he realized he had made her leave her sweater.
"Let's get back inside, my little runaway." He stated, leading her towards the club entrance again.
"No, I don't feel like going back in there. I want to go back to the hotel and sleep." She insisted, trying to pull back. He gazed down at her then back at the club.
"Fine." Was the only word he muttered, leading her to the limousine and speaking to the driver softly. To her surprise he climbed into the back with her. He noticed her startled gaze on him and smiled softly, "Just decided to escort a lady back to the hotel."
Stephanie just stared at him in confusion. One minute, he was ready to break her arm, the next he became a protector, then the next, a horny male. He was the most unusual and mysterious man she had met. She rode all the way to the hotel, seated as far from him as possible.
**~~**~~**
Theresa strutted towards Aj slowly, waiting for the right moment to interrupt his dancing. Raquel had vanished, but Amy was still clinging to him. She cautiously stepped up and met Aj's eyes, silently longing for him.
"Pardon me, but may I cut in?" She asked loudly over the music, noticing the daggers Amy was giving her. Amy nodded, but before moving away, she jerked Aj to her and planted her lips against his, taking advantage of his surprise.
"There. He's all yours, Theresa." She smirked, winking at Aj seductively and wondering away from the two. Aj noticed Theresa's deathly glares at the taller blonde's back and pulled her to him. He muttered softly to her, making her cheeks flush and her giggle slightly. She had barely heard him, but knew exactly what he was saying.
Theresa felt the pulse of the music shift from 'Don't Let Me be the Last to Know' by Brittany Spears, to Mandy Moore's new song, 'In My Pocket.' She moved closer to Aj until there was no open space between them. They ground together like one being, in perfect rhythm, caring for nothing outside of the music that surrounded them. Theresa sighed as she buried her face into his neck, inhaling his musk-spiced cologne. She was in love.
**~~**~~**
The limo stopped before the hotel, leaving them at the entrance to go pick up the others at the club. Kevin grabbed Stephanie's tiny hand and led her to the elevators, ignoring the fact that she barely grasped his hand back. When the elevator doors shut, Stephanie glared up at him. He felt her cocoa eyes fixed upon his face and turned to look down at her.
"What?"
"Why can't you just leave me alone? Why couldn't you just stay away from me and stop confusing me and making me want…" She stopped abruptly, biting her tongue before she uttered her secret.
"Making you want what, Princess?" He smirked, knowing what she about to say, and felt a strange happiness in it.
"Making me want to leave." She saved herself. She averted her eyes before he saw the lie in them, aware she wasn't going to leave until she understood him.
"Oh…" He believe her, she was safe. "I'm certainly not trying to scare you away, but I can't help but want…"
Kevin saw her face jerk up to look at him, but he didn't finish, just turned away to look at the slowly passing numbers above the doors.
"You can't help but want what Kevin?" She was mocking him now, he knew she was, and a low growl formed in the back of his throat.
"Can't help but want to fuck you senseless right now." His voice came out cold and sinister to her ears, so much so that she turned away from him. She wished silently she could be swallowed in his jacket and vanish. He was so cruel and insensitive to her, why didn't she just leave?
Kevin looked over at her, frowning when he noticed her turned away from him, her shoulders shaking slightly. He glanced away quickly, hating himself for making her cry. He let out a sigh when the elevator tolled their floor. He made no attempt to move as she hastily dashed pasted him to get to her room. He followed her at a fast stride and watched her get to the door and try to tug it open.
"Damn it!" She cried, kicking the locked door with her shoe. This only made her yell aloud again, cursing her open-toed heels. Kevin wondered up behind her and waited patiently for her to compose herself a little. She turned around suddenly to face him, tears still shining in her eyes. He felt a sudden wave of compassion, ordering him to hold her, take her into his arms and make her stop crying. But he didn't, he refused the urge and rested his hands on her shoulders.
"Come stay in my room until they get back…" He started, but stopped when she glared up at him through her tears.
"Yeah sure, so you can fuck me senseless right? You ass-hole, just leave me alone!" She screamed at him, pushing his hands off and removing his jacket. She threw it at him and backed away from him.
"I'm not going to, I'll leave you alone. But you look a bit tired, I won't touch you… unless you ask." He watched her glare up at him, but she didn't have much else choice until Theresa got back.
"Just leave me alone." She whispered, angry with herself for losing her self-restraint in front of him. He was no doubt enjoying her agony. He didn't move away, but closed in on her, trapping her to the door. She shivered and sniffled back her tears, staring up into his piercing jade eyes.
"I can't." He stated simply, wrapping his arms around her waist and dragging her to him before she even knew what was happening. Her protests were silenced when his mouth closed over hers roughly, pulling her under his spell again.
Stephanie drown out the voices swimming in her head, and enclosed her arms around his neck to keep him close. Her head was light feeling, and her pulse raced fiercely. She raked her nails down Kevin's silk covered back, enjoying the wisp of gossamer covering his strong muscles. He released a muttered sound of delight into her mouth and drove his tongue into her mouth, holding her relaxed frame against him tightly. He surprised her when he pulled away, suddenly lifting her up into his arms and carrying her to his room, refusing to take any objections.
**~~**~~**
Theresa opened her eyes slightly at the feel of Aj's warm body pull away from her. She noticed Brian tugging at his arm, stealing him away again. Aj nodded to her casually and moved to the side of the dance floor to speak privately.
"J, Kev just left, I'm guessing to catch Stephanie. I'm just mentioning this because me, Nick, Howie, and the girls are heading back. You two ready to leave yet?" Brian asked, watching a tall blond woman walk by in a short black mini skirt and tank top, checking her out for only a moment.
"I'll check with Theresa…" Aj responded, stepping away from Brian to motion Theresa over to him. She obediently trailed up to him, flipping her stray honey locks out of her face. "You ready to blow this joint, Babe?"
"I suppose. Did anyone ever find Steph?" She asked, her voice filled with concern. He shrugged and met her eyes.
"She probably already went back to the hotel. This isn't really her idea of a good time." Aj replied, snaking an arm around her waist and leading her towards the exit. They met with Nick, Howie and three of the five dancers and waited patiently until Brian showed up with Christina and Raquel.
"Alright, let's get outta here!" Nick declared, nudging Amy out first, trailing behind her to the limo as it pulled up to collect them.
