Chapter 6: Squeeze
When we're alone, I get so close
Give me your warmth I've never known
Face to face, caught in a wild embrace
This is the safest place I've ever known
Put your arms around me, baby
Put your arms around me, baby, and squeeze
Only you know how to save me
Put your arms around me, baby, and squeeze
- Fifth Harmony
Enzo
I only planned on having a couple of beers tonight, so I threw on some jeans and a long sleeved t-shirt with my leather jacket, then dragged my Harley out of the garage and let her roar into town towards Stefan's new business venture, Club Davina.
When I talked on the phone with Stefan earlier, it sounded like he had something up his sleeve, which worried me. He mentioned getting laid, but I hoped to hell he took me seriously when I'd said I wasn't interested. The last thing I was in the mood for tonight was to fight off some woman who Stefan thought I'd like. The only woman I wanted was out with her boyfriend.
I parked the bike directly in front of the club knowing Brady, the security guard at the door, would keep a close eye on it.
When I climbed from the bike, I shook Brady's hand and he opened the door for me. As soon as I walked inside I was pulled into the beat of whatever the DJ had playing. Everyone seemed to love it, if the gyrating and screaming was anything to go by. It wasn't that bad, at least for a club. I actually preferred quieter music, with less shouting.
The music was just what I needed to bring the headache that had been hovering for most of the day to front and center. I knew this was a really bad idea and just as I was about to go in search of my brother to tell him that I was heading home, he found me with a woman on his arm.
I was going to kill him.
"Enzo, I was wondering when you'd get here. I'd like you to meet Lexi."
I held my hand out to shake hers and found her in my arms. What the hell. Stefan made a quick getaway.
"Hello, Enzo. Your brother has told me you're in need of some female company."
"Well, I'm afraid my brother has been misinformed," I replied, while trying to untangle from her. "Look, Lexi, I'm sure you're a nice young woman, but I really just want to be alone tonight."
She started crying. What the hell? Why me?
Stefan was in deep shit when I got my hands on him.
I could be polite for a short time and then hopefully, someone more willing would come along. "Let's go and find a table, then have a drink." She perked up at that, obviously being able to turn the water works on and off when she wanted.
I took hold of her by the elbow and led her through the throng of dancers to a table and then placed our drinks order.
How the hell did I get myself into these situations? Or rather, why did my brothers get me into these situations? I thought driving to Stefan's bar tonight would change my mood slightly from being pissed, because Bonnie was with someone else, but it hadn't, thanks to my ass-of-a-brother who had tried to fix me up. Being dumped with Lexi by Stefan really did piss me off. It wasn't her fault, so the least I could do was be polite. I really wanted to head home.
One of the waitresses brought our drinks and placed them on the table. I knocked the whiskey back and then emptied half the beer. Lexi just sat and watched me while she sipped her wine and snacked on the peanuts that had been left on the table.
"What do you do, Enzo?"
"Construction," I replied dryly. This was not a date, so date questions didn't apply and hopefully she would start to get the hint and look around for someone else.
"So you build things, like at a construction site?"
I sat forward and looked at her for a minute. She really was pretty. She had a slim build, blond hair, blue eyes and large breasts, which she kept pushing up with her arms. Anymore pushing up and they'd fall out of her dress.
"Lexi, I don't mean to be a bastard, but this isn't a date. My brother thought I needed a woman, but I don't. In fact, I have one. She just isn't free right now. I'll buy you dinner, if you're hungry, but afterwards, I'll be leaving, alone. I need you to know that."
"She's one lucky woman."
"Yeah."
I leaned back on the chair and watched the dance floor while I finished my beer. Stefan had really done well with this place. Our family's company had done the renovation work, and at the time I'd told him he was crazy for wanting to do this, but now, I knew different. Damon had told me the place was packed every night with people lined up outside waiting to get in. The club had only been open about a week, but hopefully that would continue.
A quick glance back to Lexi assured me she was more than occupied.
"Why don't you go over and say hello?" I suggested, hoping she'd take the hint.
She stood up and, without another word, stomped off in the direction of the two guys who had been giving her the eye.
I picked up another beer, but before I could take a sip, my eyes came into contact with the object of my desire. I put the beer back onto the table and watched every move she made.
Matt had his arm around her waist as he spoke to another guy, but Bonnie didn't look happy. I really wanted to go over there and talk to her, to make her smile. She looked so sad and….stunning.
She had a pair of silver stilts on with a very short dress, which showed most of her legs. The dress was a mixture of silver and black with long sleeves. It was sexy as hell.
My blood started to boil, and so did my temper. She was mine, and he had no right putting his hands on her. Fuck. She lived with the bastard. I breathed heavily and tried to get my jealousy under control.
She was the most beautiful woman in the room, and she was getting rather a lot of looks from the guys who had spotted her.
I watched their group move further into the room and head towards the bar. That's when I noticed the back of her dress. I nearly choked on my beer. It was backless. Her dress was backless, right down to just above her ass. I sure as hell had no intention of leaving until I'd spoken to her. Or touched her.
I picked my beer up, leaned back against the chair again and watched her.
Bonnie
Going out with Anna and Jeremy had been a good idea, because they caused a distraction. I really did like Anna, although Jeremy was a bit of an idiot. Matt liked him and usually talked Jeremy's ears off, which would usually leave me alone to do my own thing to some degree. But not tonight.
I'd worn a new dress that I'd been itching to wear and for the first time in like, ever, I'd gone without a bra. Very big mistake. Matt became all lustful, which I really could have done without. Since we'd left the apartment, he did nothing but touch me. It was probably the most he'd touched me in five months.
Anna kept looking at me funny. I tried to separate from Matt to go and chat with her, but he insisted I wasn't going anywhere on my own. If he didn't let go of me soon, he'd get a stiletto in his foot. That was one thing I knew for sure.
The club he brought me to was new and looked like a really hot place to be. It was packed and the music was loud, just how I liked it. The only downside to being in a club was that Matt didn't dance, and he wouldn't let me. He was afraid other guys would get the wrong idea. The only guy I wanted to get the right idea was Enzo, and he wasn't here.
It wasn't even twenty-four hours since we first met and already I was longing to see him, to be standing in front of him. He tied me in so many knots. The guy should come with a warning, because hell, with a single look from him, I had soaked panties.
"Bonnie, are you alright?" Anna asked me.
"I'm fine. Just tired. Had a busy day at work."
Her eyes nearly popped out of her head. "I thought….I mean…."
"I started a new job today, at Salvatore's Holdings."
"You did?"
Why did she sound so stunned? What the hell had Matt told Jeremy? I needed a minute to myself. I stood up abruptly.
"I'll come with you, Bonnie," Matt said as he stood to join me.
"No. You. Will. Not. I'm quite capable of going to the bathroom on my own." I startled him. Good. I turned my back on him and stormed to the restrooms, or rather the direction that I thought they would be in.
I came to a stop close to the bar, not having any idea in which direction to turn.
"Can I help you? You look lost."
I turned and was stunned to be standing in front of a guy who looked just like Enzo.
"Stefan," Enzo growled as he approached without taking his eyes from mine.
"I take it you two know each other?" Stefan questioned, pointing out the obvious. He held his hand out to me, drawing my attention away from Enzo. "In case you didn't catch it, I'm Stefan, his brother." He pointed to his side.
"I'm Bonnie." I shook his hand as Enzo moved in closer.
"Don't you have something to do?" Enzo snapped at his brother.
Stefan laughed and after hitting him on the back, walked in the opposite direction.
Enzo stood so close to me and placed his hands on my hips. "Dance with me Bonnie. Let me have you in my arms for a little while."
My heart beat wildly, sending a pulse straight between my legs. I'd never felt so hot.
"We'll dance in the dark, over there. No one will see us."
I nodded.
He released my hips and took my hand, leading me to the back of the dance floor which was as dark as night.
Enzo released my hand and wrapped himself around me from behind. "If I'm in front of you, I won't be able to stop myself from taking your lips," he whispered in my ear.
I wanted to turn my head and capture his lips. My nipples were pebbled and my thong was soaked, all in the space of a few minutes. He was wrapped so tightly around me, I never wanted to move.
My hands reached for his as we entwined our fingers together. His cock felt hard as rock when he rubbed it between my ass cheeks. I pushed back against him. He groaned. "Bonnie," he took a deep breath, "you keep doing that, I'm going to come like a teenager. I want you that badly."
"I want you too." I raised our joined hands to my breasts. "Feel what you do to me."
He used his fingers to rub circles over my aching nipples. I moaned and pressed my ass into him. I moved my hands and reached behind me to his hips, then dug my nails in, pulling him against me. We moved to the beat of the music as though we were the only two people in the room. It was the most erotic dance of my life.
"Bonnie, we really need to stop," he whispered again as he slipped a hand into the back of my dress and caressed down to my waist, then slowly moved up to my breast, cradling it in his palm. He gently rubbed my nipple between his finger and thumb. My whole body felt alive and ready to combust.
"Enzo, oh god." I threw my head back on his shoulder, and reached up with my hand to run my fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck. I felt him shudder against me. I turned my head and looked straight into his eyes. I could hardly breathe. I wanted him between my legs. No, I needed him between my legs.
"Bonnie, you crush me." He leaned down and nuzzled my neck. I couldn't control the shiver that racked my body. He moved his other hand and started to lift my dress.
"Enzo," Stefan said from behind us.
"Fuck…. Stefan go away."
"The guy she came with is looking for her."
He gripped me even tighter. "Okay."
We were both breathing really heavily, our chests heaving up and down. Enzo removed his hand from my dress and turned me to look at him. "You're a lot more than my assistant, Bonnie. I know we've only just met, but I don't want you to think that I'm taking advantage of you, because that's so far from the truth. I want you so damn much, it's killing me."
I took his face between my hands and brought his head down, pressing my lips to his. He growled. I wanted to melt into him. Where I found the strength to step back, I'd never know.
I smiled up at him. "I want you too, Enzo. But perhaps it's for the best that we got interrupted." I dropped my hands from his face.
"Bonnie, there you are," Matt said as he arrived at my side with Jeremy and Anna trailing behind him. "Oh, Enzo St. John, I didn't know you were here." He looked from me to Enzo and back again.
"My brother, Stefan and his mate Marcel, owns the place," Enzo told him.
I was surprised because I didn't know that, not that we'd had time to talk about it, we'd been more interested in touching each other.
Matt put his arm around me and stared at Enzo. God, Matt was an ass.
"We're leaving," Matt announced.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Enzo," I said, not wanting to leave him.
As Matt started to drag me out of there, I reached out and briefly squeezed Enzo's hand. I seriously thought he was going to pull me out from under Matt's arm.
"Bonnie, why were you standing in the dark talking to him?" Matt asked as soon as we walked outside.
"I got lost looking for the bathroom and his brother came to my rescue, just as Enzo appeared. He's my boss, I wasn't about to ignore him."
Matt had a strange look on his face, which I couldn't decipher. "If you say so."
We climbed into the taxi which Jeremy always managed to find within minutes. Sitting back in the taxi I wondered whether Matt saw Enzo and I dancing and how we were wrapped around each other. If he did he wouldn't say anything until we arrived home, so at least I would know in an hour. I realized that I wasn't actually bothered if he had seen us.
Enzo made me feel desirable and so damn hot. He only had to look at me and I tingled from head to foot, and that was only knowing him for a short while.
I really couldn't wait for work tomorrow, so I could be close to him again.
