Chapter 6 - Chemistry

Piper

I feel a strong arm wrap around my waist and tingles shoot through my body like fireworks erupting on the fourth of July. My back is met with a hard chiseled chest as I am pulled back, and my senses are engulfed with the most tantalizing masculine smell my body has ever encountered. I turn my gaze up to meet the bluest pair of eyes I have ever laid my eyes on before. I'm lost in the abyss before I lulled back by the deep, penetrating voice of Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome from the balcony.

His voice sends shivers down my spine "Can I have this dance?".

I feel like my knees will give out at any minute. My body seems to suddenly have a mind of its own and I can only make a breathy whisper "yes".

I gaze up into the ocean blue orbs that seem to have sucked the sense out of me. Being this good looking should be a sin, but even this close up, he is more intoxicating that I could have imagined.

I am briefly pulled back to reality when I realize I was with someone just a second again.

Where is Ang?

I look to my left and my mouth hits the floor. She is grinding on the other hottie from the balcony. When the hell did he come over? One minute we are laughing and dancing the night away and the next she was grinding on him.

What happened to our buddy system?

When did they infiltrate us?

How did they slide in without us noticing?

How many drinks have we had?

All my questions seem irrelevant as he wraps his hands around my waist, and we start moving to the music. I swear my mind has shut off and I am lost in his world. His movements are so eloquent and smooth. I feel like a sloppy toddler trying walk for the first time. I try to gain my wits and process what is happening right now. My body is overriding my mind with the need to touch this man. I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck in a desperate attempt to be as close as possible to this mirage.

Someone pinch me!

Is this really happening?

Our bodies are so close I'm wondering if he can hear my heart thundering in my chest and the flood of heat headed straight to my core from his proximity. It like he has taken over all my self control. I'm acutely aware of my surroundings but nothing seems to matter as we holds me in his arms. I'm trying to process this hold he has on me. How someone I just met, scratch that I don't even know this guys name, can make my brain short circuit with one touch.

I gaze into his eyes and I think for a brief moment, I see the same magnetic pull there. Does he feel what I feel? "What is your name?" I purr.

He learns down, brushing my ear with his lips "Let's just have fun and not get caught up in the formalities" he whispers.

I close my eyes and my body hums at his closeness. The contact has left me so frazzled I can't even respond. I just nod and continue to grasp onto him like my life depends on it.

We sway to the beat of the music for what seems like forever. I've lost track of where we are and what we were doing. Hands roaming freely and mouths teasing with words when he reaches up and takes a handful of my chocolate brown locks in his hand. He gently tugs to tip my head back and I lean to the side to give him the access he is requesting.

He nuzzles my neck and leaves a trail of sparks as he kisses his way to my lips. Small, needy kisses leading him to the spot he wants to be at. The spot we both want him at. His lips fuse with mine. It's a gentle exploratory kiss as his tongue sweeps against my lips begging for more.

Then he pulls back from me and my body is instantly sad at the lost of contact.

I haven't been able to shake that girl since I saw her heading off the dance floor with her friend. Those gorgeous green eyes are going to haunt me. I need to know more about this girl.

I turn to Andrew "she's the one".

Andrew smirks "I'm totally banging her friend". I can't help but roll my eyes. This guy has no filter. We finish our 5th round of Flaming Lamborghini's as I turn to him "let's do this".

Andrew is sprawled out on one of the couches and laughs "Calm down. We need to lay some ground rules for this deal".

"Fine" I hurl back at him, clearly agitated. I don't even understand my level of irritation right now.

Andrew looks at me intently like he's trying to figure something out "We can't tell them our names and they have to go home with us. Sex is optional, although I promise she will be screaming my name later" he says with a wink.

I bust out laughing "How will she be screaming your name is she isn't allowed to know it?"

Andrew looks lost for a minute before responding "What if I give her a fake name?"

This guy.

"No names Andrew. You have to complete the task with no names" I deadpan.

Andrew rolls his eyes before sulking "Fine".

We head downstairs and I feel like I can't get there fast enough. My feet are moving swiftly as my body seems to be overriding all other senses right now. My hands are itching to be all over her body. This girl is doing something to me I don't understand. And I don't even know her…

When we hit the bottom of the stairs, we are flooded with bodies dancing, drinking and laughing. We push our way through them but I don't see the girls. I look to the bar thinking maybe they went for drinks but I don't see them. Andrew is looking over by the DJ booth but to no avail. I know I saw them come off the dance floor.

We round the dance floor and pass some tables when I see the most glorious ass I have ever laid eyes on. They are back on the dance floor. I tug on Andrew's sleeve signaling to the dance floor. It doesn't take long before he's locked in on them.

I feel like a hunter sneaking up on his prey. Once my target is acquired I can relax. I zero in on her and start moving in that direction with Andrew in tow. I'm watching her hips move to the beat of the music pouring from the speakers.

We slide up behind them as my body acts on its own accord. I wrap my arm around her waist with the need for more contact. I pull her back to in my chest and the most intoxicating scent hits me. She smells like honeydew and fresh rain. She leaves me momentarily shocked by the powerful sparks that shoot through my body at contact with her.

I spin her around in a fury and I'm instantly locked in on those gorgeous green eyes. "Can I have this dance?" I sputter.

My body is out of its element. I'm always in control but something about this girl has me short circuiting. She responds with a "yes" and it's like my body cant get her close enough fast enough. I pull her to me as we begin to move with the music.

She whispers "What's your name?".

I glance to the left and remember the bet "Let's just have fun and not get caught up in the formalities" I choke out. This girl has me wanting everything not just what the bet entails.

She is mesmerizing…
