UNTOUCHABLE (Siri's Saga Book 1) (36 page)

"Yes."
Shit! This might not have been the best move.
I can't tell from her tone if she is hostile or only asking.

"Don, give me two shots of tequila." She looks at me. "What's your name?"

"Siri."

"Siri here is with Aurei." She points at me.

Don nods. "One for Candy. One for Siri. Coming up." He pours them and shoves them our way without looking at us.

Not wanting to be rude, I accept. "Thanks."

She licks the back of her hand and dashes it with salt then holds it out to salt me. "Siri's a cool name. I'm Candy."

"Nice to meet you, Candy." I lick mine. She pours, then we lick together, clink our glasses, throw the tequila back and bite a lime slice provided in a saucer. I think of Mac and smile.
I'm glad she didn't ask to do body shots.

"Gotta love a girl who stands up to ole Ruthless and leaves her speechless."
Well, I have another fan.

The girl on the right looks at me. "You have really pretty blonde hair."

"Thanks.

"You're the girl that danced on the table, aren't you?"

I laugh. "I'm not the only one who danced on a table."

"No, but you're the only one that danced Britney on the table."

"Yes, that
was
me."

"That was crucial, bitch! It was like watching Britney live, you know?" She says to Don, the bartender. "Did you see her?"

He shakes his head. "No, but I've been hearing it run up and down the bar here."

"I'm Scarlet."

"Siri."

"Nice to meet you."

"You too."

Don asks. "What can I get for you, Siri?"

"I'll take 4 bottles of water, please."

He looks stunned at me.

"Can I order water? Is that a problem?"

"Yes, you can. No problem. Coming right up."

I reach into my back pocket and pull out my credit card. I shove it to him. "Put their drinks on here too."

Scarlet thanks me. "That's really sweet of you."

Candy does too. "You're an alright bitch. Are you from around here?"

"I grew up around here, but I left after high school."

Don slides my 4 bottles of water along with my credit card back to me. "I thought Jess and Gaby was pulling one over on me when they said you were here."

I smile. "Yeah, I'm here … with Aurei."

"Aurei? … figures. Enjoy the rest of the evening with us. Let us know if you need anything."

"Thanks. I will."

Turning with the bottles of water in my arms, I find there is a crew of about 10 girls standing right behind me, crowding the bar. "Excuse me." I say trying to wedge between them. Several girls move back allowing me to I slide in-between them, then no one moves and I find myself surrounded.

"So, you're the girl here with Aurei?"

I take a deep breath.
I'm going to have words with him when I get back to the table. He should have warned me about the extra attention coming here with him was going to bring.

"Have you danced with him yet?"

"Pardon me?"

"Have you danced with him yet?"

"Is she the contender?"

"I danced 'Wild, Wild Love' earlier with him."

"She's the contender."

"That doesn't count." One of the girls behind me says.

"Are you here with Aurei or not?" The girl directly in front of me ask.

"Yes, I
am
here with Aurei."

"Damn it. It's true! She is here with him."

"Darn it! Look at her. She's already won."

"Well?" The girl directly in front asks. "Have you?"

"Have I what?"

"Have you won?"

"Won what? If you want to know if I've touched Mr. Untouchable, the answer is yes."

She turns around and announces loudly. "Ladies, spread the word. Aurei is off the market."

"God dammit! I need a drink after hearing that."

"I tell you what. I'll buy you all drinks." I turn back to the bar and magically the crowd parts for me.
Free drinks always makes everyone happy.

When I tell Don, he grins. "You got it!"

The path back to Aurei is clear. "Thanks, bitch. You're all right."

CHAPTER TWENTY

I dance my way back through the dancers on the dance floor. When I get close, I can see our table between couples gyrating to Lady Gaga's, "Edge Of Glory" and what I see makes me angry. Stopping shy of coming in full view, I watch through the green eyes of jealous hate. The bitch, Ruth, is sitting on the table right in front of Aurei. I can see she is talking and her body language says it's seductive by the way she swings her hair.
She's flirting.
I'm too far away to read her lips.
He must be saying something back to her because she wags her finger at him then points to herself.
If she touches him, I'm gonna open a big can of whoop ass on her and she'll find out what the name ruthless bitch really means.
She continues to talk and he listens. Occasionally, I see his head move or shake.
They are having a conversation. The table is cleared so Gaby has been back.
Both Steve and Paul have
returned. Their faces look uncomfortable that Ruth is there. She has the same crew of girls hanging out on the dance floor.

I remember her words from the line tonight. '
Or maybe more, like old times.'
I stiffen.
They could have had a thing together. Shit!
I feel my heart fall to my gut.
Is she one of his secrets? She obviously still has feelings for him. 'Like old times.'
A vision of Aurei fucking her comes into focus and I suddenly feel sick to my stomach. Then I remember what he told me. '
He hasn't fucked anyone here in years.'
When he fucked her, he was young.
A vision of a young 16 year old Aurei with raging hormones comes into view. My stomach pain eases.
Well, you had your shot Ruthless and you lost him. If you are waiting on him to return, you'll die a bitter old maid. He's my man now.
I take a step toward the table to defend him when I see her place her foot over his legs. She starts to scoot her butt off the table to straddle him when a couple pauses in front of me, dancing and grinding. A vision of her straddling his lap flashes across my mind and a flash of red rage burns in my eyes. The grinding couple moves and Aurei is sitting straight in the chair with his arm out blocking her. She laughs at him as she swats his hand away and tries again to sit in his lap. He stands up pushing the chair back.
So does Steve and Paul. What the fuck is happening?
She reaches out to touch him. Steve and Paul both take a step around the table. He snatches the chair out of the way.
Fuck! He's angry.
I shudder knowing this could get really bad, really quick, but he backs away from her. Steve and Paul stop, watching him. He spins around and walks straight at me.
Fuck! He is looking for me!
I twirl around and maneuver a retreat to the edge of the dance floor by the bar.
I don't want him to know I saw that.
Turning to return, I spot him weaving in and out of the dancers. "The Edge of Glory" ends and the gyrating stops, making it easier for Aurei to maneuver to me.
He is frowning.
As soon as he sees me, I give him a big smile, roll my eyes and blow a pretend strand of hair out of my face. He visibly relaxes and laughs at my dramatics. All jealously and rage leave me. I can see from his smiling face that he is mine.
No need to worry about the bitch left overs. They are left and over. We have Forever.

When he arrives, I tell him. "Aurelius, you're my hero! Here. Carry these water bottles for me." The dance floor goes dark as "Boom Clap" by Charli XCX starts to play.
Strobe lights! Nice!
I thrust my tits at Aurei for him to take the bottles. The crowd shouts "Boom Clap" and sings with the song. I start to giggle because Aurei is grinning wickedly at me as he squeezes my tits behind the water bottles. I watch his beautiful face change expressions as the strobe light highlights his halo, his bright, emerald green eyes and his straight white teeth. When the song ends and the low lights are back on, he actually takes the water from me.

While we walk back together laughing, "Far Away" by Nickelback plays. When the table comes in view what I see makes me angry all over again. A bad taste comes into my mouth. Ruth is still sitting there, watching the dance floor.
Waiting for Aurei to return no doubt. Steve and Paul are sitting silently, watching for Aurei too.
When Aurei spots her, he swears. "Damn!" He doesn't slow down. He advances on her while I stop on the edge of the dance floor trying to decide how I will handle this.
Will I be able to make her leave without a fight? Or will we have a cat fight right now?

Ruth has eyes only for him. "Aurei, I requested this song for you. It's fitting, don't you think?"

He stops shy of the chair she has her feet on. "Ruth, for the last time, nothing happened between us. Nothing. You've been lying to those girls so long you are actually starting to believe it too." He turns to say something to me, only to find I stopped. He frowns at me when he sees I'm not by his side. My stomach slides down to my tummy as I look at his frowning face.
He is disappointed I'm not with him.
His look puts my feet in action. Strutting up, I take two bottles of water from his arms. Then, I pull the chair, placing it in front of him, blocking him from the table. Her feet drop to the ground. Next, I stand directly in front of her and stare her cold, blue eyes down again.
I'm unafraid, Bitch!
And finally, I lean around her brushing her body as I hand Steve and Paul the two bottles. I smile and wink at them.
I got this boys.
They smile, take the bottles and lean back in their chairs to watch the show. I hear Aurei chuckle behind me.

Ruth slides off the table to avoid contact with me as I stand to face her again. "Look what the cat drug in."

I place my hands on my hips. "Fuck! Look what the dog dug up!" Steve and Paul spit water while Aurei laughs out loud. "Take a hint, Baby Ruth!"

She makes a skank face at me, then looks at Aurei. "Take a hike, Ruth." He tells her.

She crosses her arms, gives me a go to hell look, swings her hair, and stomps off back to her crew. They follow her off, fading away to the dance floor as Bad Meets Evil, "Lighters" starts.

Aurei opens a water and hands it to me, then opens one for himself. We clink them then turn them up
.
"What did she want besides you?"

"Nothing. Don't worry about it. Nothing has ever happened between us. Any claim of more than polite conversation is all in her mind."

"She's a stalker then?" I ask for clarification as he sits back down in the chair. I lean on the table, watching him.

"Yes!" Steve says behind me.

"That's a strong … not a word I would have chosen. She made up a story graduation night when I found her passed out in the back of my truck with her …."

"Pussy pounded." Paul says for him.

Steve adds. "Aurei and I took her home and dropped her off in the gazebo in her front yard. Her sister saw the truck leaving and told Ruth it was Aurei."

"So, she thinks you were the pounder?"

Paul answers. "Yes, she spread the rumor that it was Aurei, but it was me. When I confessed, she told everyone I was covering for him."

"Didn't they believe you?" I ask Aurei.

"I left the next morning for basic training. It was almost 9 months before I returned."

Stunned, I ask. "Is there a kid?"

"No! That would have been easy to disprove. It's her word against ours."

"Why would she keep a lie going for six years?" I look right at Steve. "Well?"

Steve cuts his eyes at Aurei. "Aurei is the most eligible bachelor around here. She thinks if she can keep him that way, he will eventually come back to her."

"So, she's delusional too?"

"Yes!" Paul says behind me. "And she's a mean bitch. She bullies anyone who comes on to him, which has been a lot of girls over the years."

Aurei says, "I don't know if she's deranged or anything. It's been all harmless, school yard, bully intimidation, like what she tried on you earlier. I ignore her, and the rest of them."

"The rest of them? Aurei! I ran into another crew of girls upset at the bar that I was here with you tonight. How many stalkers are there?"

Steve answers. "I believe she's the only serious one."

Aurei smirks at Steve. "The psychologist over there has all the answers."

Paul claps Steve on the back. "Yep."

Katy Perry sings "Dark Horse."

I stand up and say to Aurei. "Come on."

He doesn't move. "Why?"

"I want you to kiss me, right there, in front of everyone." I point to the middle of the dance floor. "If there is any one who hasn't heard I'm here with you, they'll hear. If there is any doubt in anyone's mind, it will be cleared up. If there's another stalker or any one else with delusions, they'll surface. Do you have a problem with that?"

He smirks. "A kiss? No, Wild Thang, I'm not bashful. I can kiss you right there." He stands up and I cinch his fingers.

As we make our way across the dance floor, Mike sees us and turns on the spotlights. They circle around the floor, stopping on us. When we reach the spot, I put my hand on Aurei's chest and mouth. "Stay!"

He rolls his eyes. "This is more than a kiss, isn't it?"

"We have to make sure we have everyones attention." I smirk.

"You can't help yourself."

I grin. "No true dancer wastes a good song." And I begin to dance to the last two minutes in full song interpretation. I pull Aurei's hand out and poke it on "Baby, baby." With "Yes or no, no maybe," I spin around backing my ass up to him and ask if he wants to play with me, "Magic." Then, I twirl around and around as I spin around his body. He stands stoic but watches me perform.

I have no idea what he is thinking.
Probably drama queen, but music and dance speak to everyone. Hang in there, Golden God, it's almost over. We will have everyone's attention and you can kiss me for your world to see.

I walk away from him and become "Magic." I wag my finger that there ain't no going back. When Juicy J raps, I rap attitude with him and Aurei shows a hint of a smirk. Then… I'm "Magic" again. I tight rope walk up to him as the song ends, mouthing to him. "Are you ready?" Hooking my Christian Louboutin on his ass, I drag my hand down his face and poke his chest. "You are mine. There ain't no going back!"

Mike has either forgotten to spin or forgotten to talk, but either way, silence falls on the dance floor. I command Aurei. "Now. Kiss me!" I lift my eyes to his, teasing him, but I blink. His thunderous intensity is back. For just a moment, I feel a flash of fear. Not from the thunder, I understand that, but from the intensity. Then I realize exactly what it is.
Oh!
My heart sings.

He puts his hand under my knee and lifts, holding me captive. He runs his other hand down to my hand and cinches our fingers tight. Bonding us together more intimately than anything I could have done through dance.

"This Kiss" by Faith Hill breaks the silence and he smirks at me.

Leaning down, he whispers in my ear, then he nibbles it. "Listen, Sweet Thang." My breath and heart beat meet in my throat. Then with words of the song, they sink to my gut.
You were hurt … bad because someone left you. Someone has broken your heart.

"No good byes." He says as he looks into my eyes. "You turn me into a damn rocket and I shoot the fucking sky!" He steps up, pressing our bodies together, towering over me, holding me under his spell as he seduces my eyes. I melt under his heat. He moves his hand down to my ass and presses my body against his. I grab his shoulder and hold myself there. He slides it up my back, then buries it in the thick part of my hair, twisting his whole hand around my long strands. He yanks it hard, jerking my head back. He continues to pull it rough, but with control until my face is looking at the ceiling, fully exposing my neck to him. He puts his mouth on the bone behind my ear and he moans. My knees go weak and my heart melts to my pussy, soaking me. He inhales deeply and blows a stream of air in my ear then down my throat making me shiver against his body. His primal throat moan escapes him as he lays his mouth on my neck and sucks hard, then he nips my juggler.

I quiver, not in fear, not in pain, but with pure passion.

Moving his hand to the nape of my neck, he tilts only my face back to his. His dark green gaze thunders into my light wild ones, holding them captive, while he opens his mouth and devours mine. He thrusts his tongue completely down my throat.

My knees buckle. I squeeze his hand. He holds me up by my hair.

Withdrawing his tongue to the edge of my mouth, he allows my tongue to touch his in a caressing roll, and my throat moans. When he pulls away, his eyes devour mine, searching them. "I'm yours, Aurei. Forever." I whisper. We lose the world in each other in this kiss as he thrusts and fucks my mouth while I take him in and out, sucking again and again.

The crowd starts to sing the last chorus. Aurei lets the kiss go as they get loud finishing the song. "It's the way … It's a feeling …. This kiss, this kiss! …." He holds my hair and my face staring into my twinkling eyes. We talk at the same time.

I laugh into his face. "My fireworks are in rocket mode!"
