Luka climbed into the back seat and waited for Marcus to start the car. Once he did, Luka leaned into the front and started playing with the radio while squishing me in the progress. When I let out a little sigh in protest, he glanced over at me and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. I smacked his shoulder and laughed. He finally managed to sync the Bluetooth to his phone and settled back into his seat.
We drove for about 10 minutes and pulled up in front of a small boutique. Marcus made a quick call and a small brunette opened the door. She greeted us with a warm smile and gestured us to follow her in. As we walked into the large space she started talking excitedly about her new designs and wanting me to try on a few pieces that would look "absolutely fabulous" on me.
The store had a very trendy aesthetic. The walls were silver and the clothing racks were placed along the full length of the store. Large loungers sat in the middle with a minibar and mounted television.
The brunette instructed the boys to sit and offered us a glass of wine. As they sat in the loungers I was pulled into the back of the store where she laid out about 10 outfits for me to try on. I took the first ensemble, a white blouse with navy pants and tried it on. I did a quick once over and liked the look. Clean and simple. I started trying on the second outfit when I heard loud protests coming from outside the change room.
"One of the reasons we are here is for you to actually show us the outfits you're trying on"
"No way, you can see them when I wear them" I replied.
"If you don't come out, we will come in, your choice" Luka threatened.
I breathed out defeated and tried on a black embroidered tank top with a a pencil skirt. I stepped out and was greeted with loud cheers and whistles. I turned beet red and hurried back into the change room. Boys!!
After about 45 minutes, and many many outfits, Marcus knocked on the change room door and asked if he could come in. I opened the door slightly and saw him holding a beautiful black minidress.
"I thought you can wear this tonight" he said in a low sexy voice. I reached to grab the dress as he stepped in closing the distance between us.
"I liked everything you tried on" he moved in even closer, his face just inches away from mine. I held in my breath as I watched him looking down at me. His eyes held mine for a moment and I could suddenly hear my heartbeat. The room felt very warm and I started to get a heating sensation in my core. As If sensing my arousal his lips brushed mine and broke out in a grin. His hands squeezed my side making me jump and he moved away.
Without saying anything he left the room. I remembered to breathe and closed the door. What the fuck was that? And why did I suddenly feel so lightheaded.
I put the dress on and called the brunette over. She "eeeeked" when she saw me and ran to grab something from the side closet. She came out with the most amazing black stilettos and passed me a little clutch.
"Perfect" she gasped and pushed me Into the main room. The boys stood there and looked at me without saying a word. I felt my cheeks getting red again when Luka finally spoke up "you're definitely coming home with me tonight".
Marcus glared at Luka and stepped in front of him blocking his view. He held out his arm and I wrapped mine around it.
"Everything is taken care of and packed in the car" he stated as he led me towards the door. The brunette gave us one last look before disappearing into the back.
"Where to now?" I looked at them both. Marcus opened the door for me and cupped my face "anywhere you want baby"
Marcus POV
We entered the Lacasa nightclub through the side door. The line up was wrapped around the building and I didn't want to pass by the front in case I knew someone. I didn't feel like having to pretend that I was pleased to run into them or force myself to engage in small talk.
We were ushered to the private area in the back and sat at an oversized booth in the corner. The waitress came by immediately and Luka ordered us a double round of shots. I asked for a few waters and a couple bottles of wine.
I glanced over at Ana and saw her staring out to the dance floor. The waitress arrived with our drinks and we downed the shots. I poured her another glass of wine, and when she was half done I pulled her towards me.
"Let's dance"
"No, I really don't dance" she nervously tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Just let me lead and you'll be fine" I pulled her out and led her towards the crowd of people. As we made our way to the middle, I pulled her in close and placed my hand on the small of her back. We started swaying to the music and let it take us over. Bodies were grinding on each other all around us and the room smelled of alcohol, sex and perfume.
I placed my face near Ana's neck and inhaled her scent. Her smell made my body tense and awoke my other senses. Her touch made my skin tingle, her breath on my face made me
Light headed. She was intoxicating.
I pulled her in even closer and allowed my lips to slightly touch hers. I could feel her inhale and hold her breath. At that moment everything stopped around me and, as I leaned in for the kiss, She pulled away and left the dance floor.
It took me a second to realize what was happening and, by the time I did, I saw her swept up into the Crowd and out of my vision.
I tried to go after her but it was impossible to maneuver around all the people dancing. I reached the edge of the dancefloor and looked around for any sign of her. As I was about to move to the back of the club a familiar face stopped me in my tracks.
"Marcus, so nice to see you" Kate moved her body towards me and placed her arms around my neck. I tried to gently push her away while still scanning the room for any signs of Ana. Kate tightened her grip and pushed her breasts against my chest.
"C'mon baby, I missed you. I hate when we fight" Her lips moved up from my cheek to my ears. I pulled my head away and looked down at Kate. She looked messed up, her pupils were dilated and it was clear that she was on something. Regardless of my disinterest, she was someone that was my friend and previous companion. I couldn't just leave her in this state. I put my hand around her waist and led her back towards our booth. I saw Luka flirting with a couple of women by the bar and waved him over.
"Ana took off and I can't find her, can you stay with Kate while I look for her?" I tried to pass her off to Luka but she held on tighter.
"Kate, I need to leave for a minute, but Luka will take care of you ok?" I pleaded with her. Kate positioned herself in front of me, and with an unexpected push, I landed back into the booth. Before I could sit back up, Kate was on top grinding herself on me. She leaned down and pressed her lips on mine violently, trying to slip her tongue into my mouth. I tried pushing her up stopping the assault on my mouth. She continued to sway her hips making things slightly uncomfortable in my pants. I pushed her off with more force this time and sat up.
"Luka help me out here please" I looked in his direction and my heart stopped. Ana stood there looking at me with disgust. Without another word she took off again.
