“Why are you telling me this?”
Tavin hopped off the rail. “Because I love seeing the look in your eyes when she’s mentioned. I told you before, she’s not Adele.”
“I know she’s not.”
“Find some courage to go after what you want.” He slapped the chicken on the hot grill.
“Are you about to take your own advice?”
“No, but I don’t have to. I at least talk to my woman.”
So he had a point. “When did you get to be such a pain in my ass?”
Tavin grinned. “Pretty sure as long as you have been one in mine.”
Figures.
Having a rare night off together after they ate, they climbed in Davin’s Jeep and went out. He didn’t want to, but it was Saturday night and he had agreed to be Tavin’s designated driver.
Three bars later and he was more than ready to head home. Tavin, not so much. They were outside and while his brother flirted and laughed, he gazed around.
It was busy and the crowd seemed to grow the later it became. Couples, singles, all out mingling and having a great time. With the exception of him. He wanted to be home.
Or with Neha.
That wasn’t a thought he wanted to expound on. Okay, that was a lie. He wanted to but, given they were out in public, he shouldn’t or he would be walking around with a dick that could smash concrete.
“Uh oh.”
He faced his brother as a tingle snaked up his spine.
“What?”
Tavin pointed behind him.
“Your new woman us approaching and I think you may just lose you your shit.”
The sincerity of his brother’s words sank in as he spun, gaze landing on Neha. Right away, no having to search the crowd of moving bodies, for her. He just lasered in on the woman like she was his next and only breath of air.
Holy fucking shit.
All of his blood rushed south to pool at his dick. His pants grew unpleasantly tight.
Neha in uniform was hot. Neha in jeans was sexy. Neha in this outfit, the tiny painted on, barely there dress was going to be the mother fucking death of him.
It was hot pink and shimmery, mesmerizing him as she moved with grace and ease.
“Fuck,” he breathed out.
For a moment all he could do was stare. Her hair bounced around her, framing her face as he wanted permission to do. Her brilliant smile flashed as she talked and laughed with those around her. Not a care in the world.
I had no idea she looked that good. Hot yes but this is something far surpassing that.
He wasn’t in any place to face her as well as the three with her. Two girls and a guy. All dressed to the nines.
Where had they been?
Jealousy was an ugly motherfucker and he hated it was owning him.
“Neha!” Tavin hollered for her.
Yeah, he was ready to kill the man. His brother didn’t have any trouble getting his voice to arc over the loud crowd.
Davin’s heart skipped a few beats and he realized, he couldn’t keep ignoring whatever this was he felt for her. She may not want anything to do with him, but he had to be honest, because this was killing him.
She turned, as did the ones with her. The blonde with her, in a similar dress but a dark purple, waved excitedly and mentioned something to the other two with them.
He pegged her to be the other friend, her brother had met a few days ago. He stepped up beside his brother as they made their way toward them.
“I’m going to fucking kill you.”
“You’ll thank me and we both know it. We have a table and now you have an excuse to sit with her.”
Davin was grateful for his brother being there because as soon as Neha was close, he lost his ability to speak. Her incredible skin was dusted with diamond dust and he swayed toward her before catching himself.
“Twice in one week, Tavin Bly.”
“My lucky week then, beautiful. Are you four free to sit for a bit? We were just going to order another round.”
Neha angled her head to look around Tavin and gave him a small smile. “Commander.”
Her brown eyes punched him in the gut.
“Davin, please.” Not giving her a chance to refuse, he reached by his brother and took her arm, leading her to a chair next to him. Beside her sat his brother, then it was the blonde woman, the guy, and the other black woman on his other side.
Neha made the introductions and Tavin got up with the one who called herself Renny to get another round of drinks. Chatter was light but he knew the only reason for that was somehow Neha had gotten them to behave.
When his brother got back, he engaged the others in conversation about being a member of SWAT. He looked at the woman beside him.
