ADELINE'S POV
"I haven't been here in years." I say to Liam, my arms wrapped around his as we walk into the most luxurious club in the city. Before leaving the house, I settled for a tight black dress that hugs my figure in all the right places, with spaghetti straps that help support the dress onto my shoulders. It's not something I would normally wear but I'm feeling a tad bit rebellious tonight.
I've been thinking about Dante. A lot. I was with him just a few hours ago but it feels like a part of me was ripped away when he drove out of my yard earlier. I want to feel him on my skin again and I think the way I've been thinking about him since he kissed me has been very unhealthy for my mental health.
"Yeah cause you're a workaholic and you never want to have any fun with me." Liam pouts as he leads us up to a bar in the VIP area. The music here is lighter and there's a sea of bodies in the center of the room, swaying and rocking to the sound of the music.
"You know we can have even more fun at home." I argue and Liam rolls his eyes, leaning on the bar counter.
"Yeah but your body needs different air from time to time. I don't know if anyone has ever told you this before Addie but you're really uptight." He did not just say that to me. I narrow my eyes at him and turn my attention to the bartender who's looking at eagerly, waiting to get our orders.
Behind the bartender is a variety of alcohol and I'm not even sure I know how they're called. Liam smirks amusedly at me as he looks from me to the bartender in anticipation.
"Give us the strongest thing you have. Then multiply that by six. Times two." The bartender nods and I turn to Liam with a triumphant look on my face.
"Let's see if you're able to keep up with me Liam." I smile challengingly but he jus rolls his eyes.
"You can't handle one shot Addie, let alone six. Besides I didn't bring you here so you could wasted Addie." He's right. I'm very lightweight and my body can't handle the slightest bit of alcohol that gets into my system. But I'm not going to admit that. I came here to try and get Dante out of my mind and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
"It's not like I walk around getting wasted every now and then Liam. Let me have this one night, okay?" I say and as soon as the bartender comes back with our drinks, twelve shots on a tray, six for me and six for Liam, I don't even give him time to protest, I grab the first shot and down it like it's a glass of water. My face twists from how hot the liquid feels on my taste buds.
I immediately feel a foreign burn in my chest and my head already feels woozy from how strong the drink is.
"Not so fast Addie, jesus." Liam says looking at me with wide eyes. As soon as the burning sensation goes away, I jump up and down laughing as I grab the second shot. With the way my body feels right now, I know if I take two more shots, I'll be done for, but I don't care.
"Come on Liam. Keep up." Before I know it, I've finished six shots and I'm grabbing Liam's arms and leading him to the dance floor. At this point I'm drunk as fuck and I'm an entirely different person Alcohol has a way of making me bolder, making me forget all my worries and cracking the little uptight shell I've been living in my entire life.
It's why I don't and never drink. I love being in control of my actions and emotions. Who knew all it would take for me go near alcohol again was Dante fucking the hell out of me? But I've never felt this free in a long time. Like I can do anything without caring what others think.
Liam doesn't even look a little bit drunk. He has a higher alcohol tolerance than me and even if he's taken seven shots already, he still looks sober as if we didn't drink the same thing. But he doesn't make me feel uncomfortable about my state. I know I can be safe around Liam.
He dances with me for minutes until I suddenly feel him tense against me, stopping his motions as he fixes his eyes at something behind me.
"What is it?" I turn around and realization hits me as I notice Naomi on the counter ordering a drink and she looks like she's alone. Liam looks like he's going to run away and I grab his arm before he can make a stupid decision. He wants her back and she's right here. This is the perfect coincidence.
"What the fuck is she doing here alone?" Liam whispers over the sound of the music.
"Go talk to her right now before another man approaches her." I say and start pushing him towards the bar. This is his chance to get her back. It would have been better if he sought her out himself and took her somewhere a little less vulgar to talk things out. But he can't miss this chance.
"Hi Naomi!" I smile a little bit to widely, which no doubt is the influence of the alcohol in my system. She looks so beautiful like she always does. I'm so drunk, I think I'm seeing double now and I think I'm gonna throw up.
"Oh my God Adeline? It's been ages!" She exclaims and envelopes me in a warm hug. I know she has noticed Liam standing awkwardly behind me but she hasn't even spared him a glance yet. I guess she's still pretty pissed off with him.
"Yeah, you dumped me too when you dumped Liam, remember?" As soon as the words leave my mouth, I know for sure I'm more drunk than I thought I was. Why did I have to open my big mouth and make things even more awkward. Naomi hasn't even looked at Liam yet and I know I have to give them privacy if they're going to talk to each other.
"I have to pee." I announce to no one in particular and leave before Liam can protest. And I didn't even lie. I actually have to pee and throw up but as I head towards the bathroom, I collide with a hard wall which sends me falling backwards, but before I can hit the floor, strong arms grab my waist and pull me up back into a standing position.
I sway and try as much as possible to keep myself on my feet as I feel a headache coming along. I can't see anything clearly but if there's one thing I remember, it's that smell. That beautiful manly cologne and hands that were all over me just a few hours ago. Dante.
I look up to the pair of brown and blue eye staring back at me with that same intensity I'm still not used to.
In my drunken state, it feels like the pleasure I feel when his hands are on me has only been magnified and I smile sweetly at him, hopping off the floor and straddling him. He catches me easily and leans back on the wall, his hands firm on my thighs with my hands wrapped around his neck.
"I can't walk properly." I say to him but my words don't come out as clear as I expected them to. He tenses when I bring my lips awfully close to his. I definitely didn't expect running into Dante here but I'm drunk and I don't have a care in the world and I need to feel him all over me again.
I lick his lips and nibble on his bottom lip and I feel wetness seeping through my panties. He lets out a frustrated groan and tightens his grip on my thighs.
"Don't do that Adeline." He whispers.
"Why?" I ask and bring my lips to his neck, licking and sucking on his skin. He curses and drops me to my feet, keeping his hands on my waist to balance me on the floor, but all I do is smile up at him. I can't think of anything else right now but the fact that I want him inside me.
"I came here to forget about you, you know." I blurt out. "I can't stop thinking about how you feel inside me. You're all I think about lately." I push my body against his and take his tie out of his perfectly straight suit. I frown when I look at how formally he's dressed because who the hell wears this to a club. And Liam thinks I'm uptight.
"You shouldn't be walking around all alone by yourself in a club when you're drunk Adeline." He says as he scans my face. I look down at his pants and place my hands against his hard on, which makes him draw in a sharp breath. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who's horny right now. I've never wanted for a man to want me as much as I do Dante. The fact that I have this effect on him sends a wave of heat to my core.
"I'm not alone." I smile up at him, my hand moving up and down his length. "I came here with Liam and we were at the bar but then we saw Naomi, his ex, so, I wanted to give them privacy so they could work things out. Plus, I really needed to pee, but now that you're here I want you inside me instead. You know you want it too Mr. Russo."
"I prefer to fuck you while you're sober." He says and I let out a giggle when he picks me up from the floor and heads towards the VIP bar with me. Liam and Naomi look like they're in a heated conversation, but they're closer to each other now, Liam's hand slightly brushing a hair out of Naomi's face and I jump in triumph internally. They're so getting back together.
"There's Liam." I say pointing to him at the bar "Put me down Mr. Russo."
"Shut up." He walks confidently and determined with me towards the bar.
"I'm taking her home." He announces to no one in particular and Liam's and Naomi's eyes widen when he sees me in Dante's arms.
"It's okay Liam. He just wants to be alone with me so he can fuc-" Dante places a hand over my mouth before I can finish my sentence and I giggle unintelligently against his palm.
"Uhm that nice of you man, but I brought her here. I'll take her home." Liam says but as he walks towards me, I hold a hand up and stop him in his tracks.
"Liam, shut up and stay here with Naomi. I'll be fine with Dante." I say and look up, noticing Dante's eyes are already fixed on me, drilling holes into my skull.
"It's settled then." He says simply and walks out of the club with me.
