woman.”
    “Yeah.”
    I leaned back on the chair and watched the dance floor while I finished my beer.  Ruben had really done well with this place.  McKenzie’s 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.  Sebastian 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 Michelle 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.
    David had his arm around her waist as he spoke to another guy, but Lily 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.  My cock pushed desperately against my zipper, wanting to play.  Hell, I’d be lucky if I could walk out of the place.  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.

 
    Chapter 13
    ~~ LILY ~~
    G oing out with Val and Daniel had been a good idea, because they caused a distraction.  I really did like Val, although Daniel was a bit of an idiot.  David liked him and usually talked Daniel’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. David became all amorous, 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.
    Val kept looking at me funny.  I tried to separate fr om David 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 David 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 Michael, and he wasn’t here.
    It wasn’t e ven 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.
    “Lily, are you all right?” Val 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 n ew job today, at McKenzie Holdings.”
    “You did? ”
    Why did she sound so
