Okay. I'm going to be a little cruel today. I only have one chapter. The next one will be up at the latest tomorrow! Thanks for reading!
Chapter 21
(Futuresex/Lovesound – Justin Timberlake)
Lex led Chloe into the middle of the crowded dance floor as the thumping rhythm of one song changed into the slow, sexy rhythm of another. Chloe was reminded of her dream – the sexy, dirty dancing dream. She instantly forgot about Leo, and although she struggled to remember Mancuso and why they were there, as soon as she started dancing with Lex everything but his presence fled from her mind. She was surprised by how great he moved. Then she remembered that he had been basically a bad ass club kid before he became the bad ass business man he was now.
He grabbed her hips and pressed her against him as they danced. They grinded to the beat and Chloe had a feeling if he held her just a little closer, the tension would be just right and she would come on his thigh, right there in the middle of the dance floor. He smelled so good and felt like heaven; she didn’t care if he made her come in front of everybody here because they didn’t matter.
Suddenly he turned her around and bent his head to whisper in her ear. She turned her head bringing her ear closer to his mouth and smiled. She would never forgive herself if she let that giggle that was in her throat out of her mouth.
“You wanted to know how you affect me?” He asked. His hands on her hips seemed to burn her through the soft satin of her dress. “I can’t think of anything else when I’m around you. Just you and what your skin would feel like under my hands… what you would feel like… inside.”
Chloe gasped as Lex pressed her firmly against him. She felt how much he wanted her pressed into the small of her back.
“I have a hard time keeping my hands off of you…” He said as his hands slid down her thighs to the hem of her dress. She raised her arms and wrapped them around his neck as they continued dancing.
Chloe was in heaven. But then something permeated her paradise. She smelled something that her foggy brain knew was important but it seemed to take forever to place.
Mancuso.
Chloe froze and her head snapped in the direction the faint odor was coming from. She didn’t see Mancuso, but she did see a pierced man staring at her from across the room. When she looked at him he glanced away, trying to look innocent.
Yeah right. Dumb-ass thought he could get away with that?
(Prelude 12/21 - AFI)
Without turning to talk to Lex, Chloe tugged his hand indicating for him to follow her. She marched through the thick crowd, easily pushing dancers aside. She didn’t hear there curses or even Lex calling out to her. All she heard was the blood rushing in ears and the need to get her hands on this guy who reeked of Peter. The guy looked back at where Chloe had been and was startled to find that she was no longer there. She watched as his eyes flicked across the dance floor trying to find her. When his eyes finally locked with hers, he bolted and she ran after him, pushing anybody in her way to the ground.
Chloe followed him to the very back of the club and through a mirrored door by the bar. The door shut briefly behind the guy and Chloe caught a glimpse of herself. She looked feral. She opened the door just in time to see the guy disappearing through an exit into an ally behind the club. She ran through the dark hall and knocked back a couple of girls coming out of the bathroom; grabbing the door handle, she tore open the door. She did it with such force that the handle broke a hole into the wall behind it.
Chloe jumped into the seemingly empty ally and looked around. Though the ally was dark, she could see through all the shadows. Night vision. Cool. She saw rats crawling around through the filth and garbage; their eyes glowing when they looked her way. Unfortunately, the rat that she was looking for was not among them.
Lex burst through the door and out into the ally behind her.
“Chloe…”
His voice seemed to be cut off abruptly and she whirled around to face him.
Lex was being held at knife point by the pierced man. Lex held up his hands in front of him. He did not look scared. He looked pissed. The knife was held tightly across his throat and the villain, who was a foot shorter than Lex, peaked out from behind his arm.
“What are you gonna do, girlie? Back off or I’ll give your boyfriend an ear to ear grin.” He shouted, hiding behind Lex’s body.
Mother Fucker.
