watched every female in the club rise to their feet and rush the stage. They
looked to each other when the chants started and the six girls all smiled when
the name “Simon” rang out to deafening decibels. They all laughed before exiting
their seats and pushing their way through the throng of women to be center
stage. "And now, for your
viewing enjoyment, The Pleasure Dome is proud to present the man who instills
more wet dreams with a single glance than any other man alive…the one, the only…Simon!” His name echoed throughout
the room when Billy Idol’s, Rebel Yell started to play. The loud
thumping beats Paige felt in her chest from the music and the crowd was quickly
replaced when she caught her first glimpse of him. Her breath caught and
every thing around her dimmed as she stared at the man who came through the
curtain. Tight, black jeans encased
his lower body and a black t-shirt hugged every muscle of his chest. His
bleached-blonde hair stood in tiny spikes on his head. His skin a creamy
alabaster with hard toned muscles that stretched the material of his shirt. He
swayed slowly to the beat of the music, strutting his way across the stage and
looking out through the crowd at everyone screaming his name. He looked like the ultimate
bad-boy. The one your mother warned you about. Paige’s heart beat
double-time when he suddenly turned toward her. Shockingly blue eyes locked on
hers and it felt like a lighting bolt struck her. The tingles started low in
her stomach before firing off every nerve ending in her body. He tilted his head to the
side, his eyes roaming over her body before he licked his lips and smiled. She
felt her knees go weak before her lips curved into a smile. He was simply beautiful. He turned when the beat of
the music got faster and there wasn’t a single person not completely mesmerized
by him. He moved across the stage and worked the crowd, the screams of his name
becoming louder by the second. The smile on Paige’s face
matched her friends. She glanced away from him to see them screaming along with
everyone else in the club. She turned back to the stage and watched Simon stop
in the middle of the floor. He ran his fingers slowly down his chest before
grabbing the bottom of his t-shirt and raising it to show the slightest bit of
skin hidden under the fabric. The women in the club
screamed out their approval. His joy at their reaction showed on his face. He
leered at everyone, his tongue sliding between his lips and being caught with
his teeth. The small action earning him more screams and hands shot up, fists
clutched with money. Paige understood now what
the announcer meant when he said, “more wet dreams with a single glance,”
because the minute he turned and looked at her again, her heart nearly stopped.
Just one simple glance and her mind conjured images of naked flesh and how he
would feel wrapped around her body. The music picked up its
tempo and the gorgeous blonde on stage grabbed the front of his shirt and
ripped it down the center. Paige nearly went deaf when the noise level rose and
he pulled the shredded material from his body. Hard, toned muscles flexed
and rippled with every move he made and her eyes watched him greedily. He turned suddenly and
faced her. Paige felt her face flame when he looked directly at her. His tongue
slid across his bottom lip, his eyes drinking her in and for a split second,
she wondered what she’d done to garner this gorgeous man’s attention. She turned her head then,
looking to see if he was in fact looking at someone else, but the minute she
locked eyes with him again, he smiled at her. The action almost did her in. He was
looking at her. He walked across the
stage, his movements slow and almost predatory and Paige’s eyes never left his
face until he stopped right in front of her. He bent to one knee, reaching out
and running his fingertips over her collarbone before lightly tracing her arm
down to her fingers. When he grabbed her hand,
Paige’s smile widened before he reached for the other. She stood there, holding
his hands and staring up into his smiling face before she felt someone grab her
around the waist. Before she could turn to see who it was, Simon and the
anonymous person behind her lifted her to the stage in one quick movement. Her excited shriek sent her
friends into a screaming fit. They laughed and cheered her on. She gasped when
her feet landed on the floor and Simon pulled her against his body. He wrapped
his arms around her waist and immediately guided her hips into a dance. Paige's eyes fluttered. He
rocked their bodies to the beat of the music and she found it hard to control
her breathing. She stared up at him, the look on his face her undoing. This
gorgeous man was in her arms and she knew she’d never have another chance to
explore all this man had to offer. She tentatively laid her
hands on his arms, feeling the corded muscles under her fingertips before
letting them travel up the length of them to his shoulders. She blushed before
looking up at him through her lashes. The look he gave her made things low in
her belly tighten and sent her pulse racing before she smiled and ran her palms
over his smooth skin. The look on his face
turned seductive and Paige watched the bright blue of his eyes darken the
longer she stared at him. He was even more beautiful up close. His lips were
full, the bottom much thicker than the top. Long lashes swept his cheeks when
he blinked and his cheekbones were impossibly high. She felt his hand skim her
exposed back before he leaned forward, burying his face in her neck. She tilted
her head to the side and held her breath. A small, barely there kiss was felt,
followed by two more before he licked a trail to her ear. A shivered raced up her
spine at the move and his arms tightened around her. His warm breath tickled
the small hairs at the back of her neck and she swallowed hard before closing
her eyes. She could only imagine
what this man could do. The way she felt with nothing more than a few kisses to
her exposed skin made her want to beg for more. She heard nothing but the beat
of the music and she swayed with him to the rhythm. The sensations running
throughout her body blocking out everything but him.
