The Draglen Brothers - DRAKEN (BK 1) (29 page)

“I’ll join you in a second, get them
warm and I’ll be over to relieve you of one,” I say, smiling,
knowing Layern is good at dancing. He can handle two or three human
women at once. Layern walks away shaking his head. I continue
staring at her. I need her name. I walk to the bar, blocking her
from going behind it.

“What the hell you doing?” she yells
at me, trying to go around. I just smile, and wait for her to look
at me. Finally her head rises to meet mine. She is beautiful, even
angry.

“What’s your name?”

“I’m not telling you my name. You’re
more than likely a stalker as you can’t take a hint already,” she
snaps, placing her hands on those lovely hips. “Now move!” She
looks me dead in my eyes, but I see a guard up, not anger. Huh, I
need to know more.

“I’m Showken. You are . . .” I say,
raising a brow. She is not getting past without a name.

“Marilyn, now can you move?” she says
through her teeth.

“That wasn’t hard, Marilyn, and yes, I
will move, for now,” I say, stepping aside and making sure to feel
her heat as she slides past me, trying not to touch. I stand and
listen as she gives the bartender her order for another table. She
looks pissed, but I still want her. She just has to be difficult,
and I love a challenge. She turns and looks at me, rolling her
beautiful eyes. Oh, yes, this one I will have. I return a wide
smile, and head for the dance floor. I pull the first girl I see
out of her seat, and dance with her seductively. The lady is very
willing and aroused, but my eye is on Marilyn as she watches the
show. I sniff the air, and there it is; she is hot. She likes my
dancing. I make eye contact with her, then we just stare at each
other, and I mouth “I want you,” licking my lips for her pleasure.
I really need this woman. I see Domlen and Hawken walk out with
their fun for tonight. Smiling, I nod to them. The song ends, and
Layern meets me at the table.

“Showken, what is it about her? I’m
picking up anger and arousal, but the anger is way more intense.
The human you were just dancing with is willing to do whatever with
you,” Layern says, drinking straight from the only pitcher left. I
smile, knowing she has to come back.

“Marilyn!” I yell, forcing her to look
again. She looks sexy as hell walking this way. I may just want her
because she said no. Whatever the reason, I can’t help but rise to
the challenge. Finally getting to our table, she places her hands
on her hips, narrowing beautiful grey eyes at me.

“We need more pitchers,” I say,
raising my brow and sliding another hundred dollar bill her way.
She snatches again, and storms off without a word. She says
nothing, heading for the bar.

“You are really pissing her off,”
Layern says, finishing the pitcher.

“I know, that’s the point. She’s very
angry, very hot, too. I think a little fun will help her out,” I
say, not taking my eyes off her as she brings four pitchers back to
the table. I wonder does she think she can get me drunk? She bangs
them down, spilling some, and storms off angrily. I tilt my head,
watching her walk away is amazing.

“Layern, I’m not giving up on this
one. After I have my fun I’ll leave her alone,” I say, grabbing a
pitcher, and taking a huge gulp.

“Ok, but I’m telling you, this one is
not for fun. She has secrets that I can’t get to. I’d stay clear if
I were you, but seeing the sparkle in your eye, brother, I know you
will stop at nothing. So good luck.”

“Luck? Shit, I plan on having a good
time with Ms Marilyn,” I say. “Her anger only excites me. Besides,
I don’t think she knows how angry I can get.” I watch her maneuver
through the crowd delivering beers.

She ignores me for the rest of the
night. Layern invites some ladies to the table, and they are very
willing, but I can’t keep my eyes off her. I give attention to the
redhead purring next to me, but I don’t want an easy lay tonight. I
want a challenge, and I see I have one. Studying her walk, how she
stands, her eyes, I smile, thinking it will be fun getting to know
her. She shakes her head every time she looks my way, sighing in
frustration. Yes, I’m in her mind, now I want in that body of
hers.

“I’m going home, brother. You coming?”
Layern says, standing with a lady on his arm. I stare at him in
confusion, I know who already holds my brother’s heart. Maybe he’s
over her.

“I think I’ll make sure Marilyn gets
home safe, but you have some fun with both,” I say, leaning over
and giving the redhead next to me a kiss. “Sweetheart, you and your
friend will take care of my brother, right?” I smile, and she
melts.

“
Yes, of course,” she says, rising. Layern takes her arm, and
they all go for the door. It’s getting late. I will stay until she
leaves. I need to see what I’m up against.
