Page 86 of We Are Yours

We laughed.

We drank.

“Come on, dance with me!” I shouted to Julius. He sat on the edge of the table, and I stood between his legs.

He grabbed my arm, tugging me to his face. “Not when you’re dancing for me.”

I smiled, beaming.

With a sway of my hips, I slowly rocked my body in a circle, and he took a swig of his beer.

His eyes drank me in.

Making my heart flutter.

There was so much I craved to say.

So much I desired him to hear.

“Do you mind? Or are you just going to stand there?” I taunted, rolling my hips to the beat.

He smiled widely. Leaning into my ear, he growled, “By all means, Isla. I don’t mind one bit.”

“You have no shame, Julius Knightly.”

He grabbed my hand. “It’s going to take a lot more booze to get me to dance. Now you…” He twirled me around in a circle, showing me one of the only dance moves he knew. “Can dance for me all night long.” His arms wrapped around my waist.

I deliberately worked my hips against him. “Then all you have to do is stand there and look like the badass you are.”

He chuckled. “Tell that to my dick. It likes you a lot right now.”

My mouth dropped open with a surprised smile creeping on my face. “Look at you. Is that booze talking or are you just happy to see me?” I mocked, knowing damn well it wasn’t the booze. “I didn’t know I needed his permission. I thought he always liked me.”

He chuckled again. “Oh, sweetheart, he’s liked you since day one.”

“I see…” I continued to tease him. “So how do I get him to love me?”

He pressed his forehead against mine. “You earn it.”

I got close to his mouth, speaking with conviction, “And how do I do that?”

Julius

The crazy part about Isla was that she truly had no idea how much she commanded a room. All eyes were on her, including mine. There was this energy radiating from her. This confidence and sex appeal weren’t something you learned. You were born with it. She didn’t have to try. It was just there.

It came so naturally to her. Luring you in with a look…

A smile.

A slight movement in her body.

She was captivating and exuded sexuality. A magnetic pull that forced you in without even realizing it. At that moment, as much as I tried to ignore the thoughts hovering, I couldn’t.

I watched how she danced.

How her ass shook.

How her hands worked their way up her body.
