Chapter Ten (Episode 10: Recon)
Riggs wasn’t happy about them separating. But Lacey was pissed at him. He was glad she cared enough to be jealous, but he didn’t want her to worry that his intentions towards her were less than genuine.
As he moved through the crowd on the upper level of the club, he kept one eye out for Professor Jotham and one eye on Lacey. She was beautiful and sexy tonight. A lot of men were noticing her. She didn’t seem to have a clue. But that was one of the things that he loved most about her. She wasn’t fake or pretentious.
She glanced up searching for him but then when their gazes locked she quickly looked away. He needed to pull her aside and let her know that she was the only girl for him. He suddenly stopped moving when someone on the dance floor caught his attention.
It was Professor Jotham and Ms. Krebbs. They were dancing close together. Jotham had his hands all over her but she actually looked like she was trying to push away from him.
Riggs signaled to Lacey that he spotted Jotham. He wanted her to stay out of the way while he made his way back downstairs. He frowned when he saw that she wasn’t going to wait. She tapped some guy on the shoulder and said something. Then the two of them headed towards the center of the dance floor.
What the hell! Riggs rushed down the stairs not caring that he was shoving people out of the way. He squeezed through the crowd on the dance floor and felt a jealous rage overtake him when he spotted the stranger’s arms wrapped tightly around Lacey’s waist.
Riggs tried to keep his cool. He glanced around and saw that Jotham and Ms. Krebbs were still dancing about fifteen feet away. He turned back to watch Lacey and had had enough when he saw the stranger move his hands from her waist down to cup her ass. That’s was it. No one touched his girl!
*****
Lacey was about to tell the creep that she was dancing with to remove his hands from her butt or she would remove them for him. She glanced up and caught sight of a furious Riggs storming their way. “Oh shit.”
“Get your hands off my girl!” Riggs growled at the man that was dancing with her.
She was torn between telling Riggs to go dance with one of his regulars, or throwing herself in his arms. He was jealous over her dancing with this guy and it was kind of a turn on to know she meant that much to him. Some of her anger and resentment about him knowing the girls who worked at the nightclub faded a little bit. She shouldn’t blame him for having a life when they hadn’t been a couple or attempted to be a couple until now. She needed to extricate herself from the guy dancing with her before the started a fight.
“Thanks Vance…” the guy was rude enough to interrupt her.
“It’s VANN.”
“Right, Vann. Thanks for the dance, but my boyfriend is here now.”
“You didn’t say you had a boyfriend when you asked me to dance.” Vann didn’t look happy about being dismissed.
“I didn’t say I didn’t either. My boyfriend was late and I wanted to dance. I appreciate your time. Have goodnight.” She didn’t wait around for the man’s response. She launched herself into Riggs’ arms keeping him distracted.
“Are you going to dance with me or not?” Lacey asked with a husky voice. That got Riggs’ attention big time. He turned his full gaze on her. Those dark eyes of his always seemed to see right down to her soul.
She shivered in pleasure as their bodies rubbed against one another. She leaned up and nipped at his chin making him growl. Lacey thrilled at the thought of being able to drive him crazy like he did her. She didn’t even care that they were surrounded by a large group of people.
“Baby you are so sexy. The only one for me. I swear it.” Riggs nibbled on her neck.
She knew it, she felt the truth when he spoke. She couldn’t erase his past with other women, but she could become the sole center of his world right now. Like he was for her. That’s what she wanted. She felt like she was finally ready to take things to the next level.
He bent his head and kissed her. Their lips were warm and needy. She felt his hands roam her back and when his hands lightly touched her ass, her reaction was much different than it had been with Vann. She wanted Riggs, wanted him with a passion. They pulled apart slightly and she planned to let him know that he was the only one for her and that she would let Blayne know.
“Riggs I…”
“They’re moving.” Riggs told her as he danced them through the crowd.
It took her a moment to have her thoughts refocused. Right, she almost forgot they were here to spy on Professor Jotham. She looked for signs of them and saw that Jotham and Ms. Krebbs were getting a seat at a table on the other side of the dance floor. Riggs moved them until they were close enough but not easily seen.
“We won’t be able to hear anything from here.” Lacey whispered in Riggs’s ear.
They watched as Jotham left Ms. Krebbs at the table while he went to the bar. He took a seat next to a man in a blue suit. The man in the suit looked completely out of place in the club.
Riggs turned to her. “You stay here and keep an eye on things while I try to make my way closer to the bar to overhear the conversation.”
“Be careful.” Lacey hated parting ways. She watched as Riggs snatched someone’s baseball cap from the table and put it on. He then walked closer and took a seat further down the bar.
Who was the guy in the suit? He didn’t seem right to her. Something about his appearance bothered her. Everything in her screamed to get out of there. But she wasn’t going to leave Riggs. He needed her.
