Chapter 16
Thoratbed: Why did that sting? My lips thinned at the undur disappointment 1 felt. I didn’t want to think further on why it all bothered me.
1 turned back towards the counter when the bartender just served the shots. I took it. The liquor burned its way down my throat.
Bey chuckled looking at me “Perhaps I might be able in convince you for another round”
“Maybe” I shrugged. She did the shot before jerking her head towards the dance floor. As we strode towards the dance floor, I resisted the urge to sneak a planer at him and failed. Aiden was in formals, gray trousers and white shirt, the first two buttons undone. Most likely he was here after work. Thaven’t ever seen this man not look insanely attractive.
He hadn’t noticed me staring. His eyes were on the brunene. His lips quirked up at something she said. Before I could pin at how that made me feci, I felt another pair of eyes on me. It belonged to another man sitting beside Aiden. He was as tall as Aiden, tousled dirty blonde hair and his lips. twisted in a sardonic smile. I blinked and looked away.
As soon as we stepped on the floor, Gasolina started playing. Rey’s head snapped towards me and I knew what that look said. We both loved the song and judging by the cheer, so did the crowd. We wanted for the beat to drop before moving along with the music.
We were two songs in when a hand snaked around my waist from behind and a chest pressed against my hack.
“You have a nice ass” My shoulders tensed immediately, creeped out at the contact. I freed myself from that hold and turned around to face a man. He had some two inches above me, a crooked nose and a creepy ass smile.
“One dance!”
“No, thanks.” I gritted out.
He scoffed out loud. “Come on
on now. Don’t play hard to get.”
Rey stepped forward in a defensive stance. “Get the fuck away before I kick you in the teeth.
“Did I ask you?” He spared her a quick glance before advancing towards me. He had taken all but one step in confusion. I had failed to notice when Aiden had covered this distance but there he was, holding that man back by the back of his shirt. He was in my direction when his brows dipped towering over that man.
Aiden’s presence was
was magnificent. He was attracting quite the eyes. I was transfixed by the raw masculinity radiating off him.
Well that was until he slammed his fist against the other guy’s face. The latter stumbled forward and held a protective hand over his nose. “Which pan of ‘no do o you not understand?” Aiden asked in a low voice. Contrary to his actions, his voice was too calm, the kind that would make
“Its none of your business, dude. Creepy guy snarled at him and I saw his jaw muscle twitch. He stepped forward and grabbed him by the neck. “You’re going to walk out of here right now.““
That’s it. There never cam
Gafie a or. As if there wasn’t a possibility of his order not being followed, Judging by the look on the man’s face, it was probably true. Alden scared him, that was evident. He hastily nodded, struggling to breath in his hold. I was convinced that Aiden was going to choke that man to death before he fully decided to let go..
Creepy guy coughed, already on his feet, scrambling away,
“Are you fine?” Aiden pulled my attention back to him. His face looked composed but his eyes still looked agitated. I was about to hit with an ‘yes‘ when my eyes fell on his acquaintance, that brimene making her way towards us. My mood soured for some unknown reason. I pursed my lips and stared back at Aiden.
“I am capable enough to protect myself. You didn’t have to play the white knight.”
Ladmit, it was rude of me. And unnecessary. I blamed it on the single shot of tequila that my judgment was a little unbala
unbalanced.
His face hardened, some dark untamed emotion flashing in his one look could bring a grown man to his knees. Then why could 1 not look away even when I wanted to? Or I was kidding myself into thinking that eyes. It sent a shiver down my spine. Aiden was scary, there was no denying it. His I wanted to look away,

“You feeling okay there, brother?” Cillian slapped my shoulder, grinning at me. Amusement gleamed in his eyes, Good to know that he was finding amusement at my expense while I squirmed with the need to carry Freya out of the chils caveman style.
“You’re staring at her like she’s going to disappear any moment now.
Great As if Cillian wasn’t enough, now I had Erica added to the mix. She continued like I hadn’t just ignored her previous statement not seconds ago. “Although it’s good to know you’re finally moving on after spending your last six years obsessing over that woman.”
Cillan let out a chuckle. “Oh yeah‘ He definitely moved on.”
“What
would that mean?” Erica asked, looking between the both of us, catching on to the sarcastic tone in my brother’s words. He lips tilting up in a teasing smirk..

“It’s her. Freya Wilson Aiden’s obsession.
“You can’t be serious?” He spared her a glance, a swift disinterested one like he was done conversing with her for the day.
“Fuck! I need to meet her.” I groaned, annoyed d at her unnecessary enthusiasm. Before 1 could tell her no, my eyes caught sight of a man headed in that direction. He sneaked up behind Freya and put his hand around her waist, plastering himself to her back.
