I can’t believe that I let them drag me to another boring club. There’s never anything around that interests me. It’s just going to be another night of going back to the hotel alone, but you can’t get them to understand that. They’ve all got somebody, unlike myself. Jeff has Mark, who fawns over him like he some prince from a foreign land. Matt has Jason, who he protects just about as much as he protects me. Greg has Paul, Levesque, that is, and those two are so damn sweet to each other it would give you a toothache. Me, on the other hand, I am completely alone. My friends seem to think that, just because I’m the youngest, that I need to be protected. Well personally I’m sick of it. They won’t let me go out with the type of guys I like, because, well let’s just say they all fall under the dark and dangerous category. I can’t help it, that’s what turns me on. Someone that would just fuck me and not care if I got hurt. Just goes to show what years of being protected can do to you.

When we walked in, there was something playing over sound system. Jeff loves this stuff. He says it’s the thumpa thumpa of club music that keeps his heart beating, well that and of course Mark. Don’t get me wrong, I love club music. They play it so loud in these places that you can feel the beat in your chest. Sometimes it’s the only thing that let’s me know I’m alive. I’m scanning the room for some eye candy, that I know I’ll never get. Like I said, my friends think my taste in men is just too dangerous. That’s when I spotted him. He was standing across the room, talking to some of his friends. I swear my cock stood at attention the minute I laid eyes on that body.

Sean O’Haire, third degree black belt, gymnast, photographer, and all around devil. Yeah that should give me some sweet dreams tonight. I tell Jeff to get me a drink and set down at a table where I can get a good view of this God. He’s holding a beer, with his hand wrapped around the neck of it. Oh tell me that didn’t send me into fits of arousal. I can just imagine that hand wrapped around my cock that way, the muscles of his arm constricting as he jerked me off. Wow, we’ve only been here about ten minutes and I’m about to excuse myself and go to the bathroom. I’m already rock hard and the guys like to stay at these places for a few hours at the very least.

Jeff comes over and sits the drink in front of me. I down the thing. Something has to numb me to the fact that I’ll never have that man. I walk out onto the dance floor with Jeff and start to dance. We’d probably danced through two songs when I turned and could have sworn Sean was checking me out. So what do I do? I did my best impersonation of Emeril and kicked it up a notch. If Mark saw the way I was dancing with Jeff he would have kicked my ass into next week, but I didn’t care. Every time I rubbed myself against Jeff, I noticed Sean getting more and more excited. I was loving it. Wouldn’t you know it that’s when Jeff’s big brother routine kicked in.

He pulled me off the floor and sat me down, wanting to know what was going on. “Shannon, what the hell was that all about? I mean, it’s obvious that you’re turned on, but I’m with Mark.” Jeff said, acting like it was his ass that had me to that state of arousal. He’s my best friend, and I love him like a brother, but sometimes he can be a conceited little bitch. I just ordered another drink and rolled my eyes at him. He walked back onto the dance floor and left me sitting there. Punishment I guess, but hey I’m used to it. I was well through my third drink when I heard his voice.

“You wanna dance?” I turned around and there he was. Sean Christopher O’Haire. Being in this close proximity to him made me feel like I’d wanted him my whole life. It didn’t take me two seconds to walk onto that dance floor with him. I knew one of my friends would probably be along pretty soon to break it up, but I was just relishing the moment. We danced through the song that was playing, then the DJ said they were going to slow things down for a minute. They began playing a slow song and I couldn’t believe when Sean wrapped his arms around me and held me tight. Dear God, being in this man’s arms felt like pure heaven here on earth. I guess it’s just the fact that I know he could snap me like a twig. That kind of power in another human is the greatest turn on in the world for me.

Now, let’s talk embarrassing for a moment. I don’t know how long I stood there with my head rested on his massive chest, but the next thing I know he’s whispering in my ear. “Shannon, the song’s changed. We look kind of silly standing here like this when everyone else is bumping and grinding to the song that’s playing.” Sean said, as I lifted my head off his chest, turning a beautiful crimson color. “If you don’t mind I would like to get the bumping and grinding myself.” He added when I looked into his eyes.

I started to walk away, figuring that it wasn’t me he wanted to bump and grind with. I about melted into the floor, though, when he grabbed my arm, spun me around and began to dance with me, rubbing his body against mine. So much for the numbness. My body sprang to life, the blood flowing to places that had been neglected for far to long. At least by anything but my right hand.

You know how you’re friends tell you, ‘you can count on me’? Well I could. Before I knew it Matt was walking up to me and telling me that it was time to go. My heart sank into the pit of my stomach, but I gathered all the rational thought I could and told him that I was gonna stay. He argued that I’d have no way back to the hotel and that I should just come on. That’s when it happened, the most glorious five words I’ve ever heard. “I can take him home.” Sean said to Matt, wrapping his arm around me possessively. I know I’ve spent the last couple years of my life bitching that my friends protect me to much and that I was sick of it, but this was different. I felt so protected in his arms, and I was liking it. Fuck that, I was loving it.

Matt told Sean that I should really go with him, and Sean let me go. My heart sank again. I thought he was going to tell me to go with Matt, when he took Matt by the arm and walked away with him, leaving me standing there in the middle of a crowded dance floor. I looked around and noticed that Jeff and Greg were nowhere to be found. They must have gone out to the car. I guess I should go ahead out there and save the scene that Matt was going to cause. I was just about to walk off the floor when I heard that sexy voice again. “Where the hell do you think you’re going?” I looked up and saw Sean standing in front of me. “We still have a lot of dancing to do.” He added as he grabbed me and walked back to the center of the floor.

I was shocked to say the least. “Where’s Matt?” I asked, looking around for any sign of my friend. I couldn’t believe that Matt, Jeff, and Greg would leave me here with this monster. As much as I wanted it to be true, I couldn’t believe it.

“Matt decided it would be best if I took you home.” Sean said wrapping his arms around me again. “Of course, he had a little help coming to that decision.” Sean said, looking over at the group of friends he’d been talking to earlier. They all just looked at us and smiled.

“You didn’t hurt him did you?” I said, honestly not caring much at this particular moment. At least not with Sean’s hands running down my back and cupping around my ass.

“No they didn’t hurt him. He’s your friend. They just persuaded him to leave you in my hands. I had to promise that I wouldn’t hurt you.” Sean said, squeezing my ass a little. “I didn’t say anything about making you scream though.”

Three hours later, I’m drifting off to sleep with my head on his chest once more. I have a feeling that he’s going to be very possessive and protective, and I love it. I don’t think you’ll hear me complaining about this one. I just hope it wasn’t the lust that made him say I was his during sex. I wouldn’t mind being possessed by the Devil.
