Locked Hearts

Chapter Four

GRACE POV

"I'm coming with you." Kelly sat on my bed.

"Well, you obviously are." I turned back to my closet.

I couldn't decide what to wear, not even sure why I cared how I looked.

"What was she like?" Kelly asked, coming up to me.

"Cocky and irritating." I took a dress out, examining the design.

Kelly reached forward and picked out a dress for herself. "Okay, but was she hot?"

My mind swirled with graphic pictures of the arrogant club owner. Her tall, strong frame, her tattooed arms and intriguing eyes. "She is and she knows it."

Kelly squealed. "Something nice to look at while you work." She nodded to herself. "Thank you for trying with this. I really didn't want us to lose this story." She added.

"Yeah, I know." I still didn't understand people's obsession with the woman.

We got dressed and left for the club in record time. Her husband was meeting us there.

We stood in the long line outside the club's entrance. I was already having second thoughts about coming here. I was never one to let people push me around or take shit from them. So if weren't for this piece, I'd have cursed her out and left. Instead, I was standing here, in heels waiting in line.

"She couldn't have fucking put you on the damn list." Kelly complained grumpily.

Just then, a man loudly called my name. I looked down the line to see the cocky woman standing next to him. She had on a black ripped skinny jeans, black sleeveless shirt and boots. Her muscled and tattooed arms on display.

"Well, fuck me." I heard my friend exclaimed quietly. "You are so screwing that woman tonight. I would myself, but unfortunately I'm married."

"That's always nice to hear, honey." Peter spoke.

Raelynn made a 'come here' motion with her pointer finger.

I sighed and turned to my friends. "That's her."

"What, really?" Kelly whispered.

I nodded as I closed the distance between us, my friends following

"You came." She said with a big smile. "And you brought friends, even better."

"How'd you know we were here?" I asked as she gestured for us to follow.

"Cameras." She simply said.

She led us to the VIP lounge and told us to order whatever we wanted. Someone called her name and she held a finger up, telling him to wait.

"Excuse me a moment."

Kelly leaned close to my ear, her eyes glued to Raelynn. "You know what, fuck the magazine and fuck her instead." She held a serious expression.

I laughed out and shook my head. "I'd rather not."

"Oh, come on, please."

I turned my body to her. "You're my boss and you're trying to get me to sleep with our potential client?"

"I'm your friend first. You need some fun, it's been a minute for you."

"Peter, please control your wife."

"No can do. She's the boss of me too." He chuckled.

The night went on and we drank to our heart's content. When I felt myself going too far, I started drinking water to sober up. Raelynn would come to check on us every once in a while, and even when she wasn't, I could still feel her eyes on me.

"Babe, let's dance." Kelly pulled me to the dance floor.

Kelly turned me around and held my waist. My ass pressed against her front firmly. We danced sensually, gaining attention from people around us but we didn't care. After a while, another pair of hands was felt on me. I swiftly turned with the intention of telling them off.

Raelynn stood there with a lustfilled gaze, making me forget about cursing her out. I didn't stop dancing as she held me close. Our bodies moved together in sync to the loud music. Kelly's words about having some fun ran through my mind over and over. I was still drunk but sober enough to know what I was doing. My arms snaked around her neck and I pulled her down.

Her lips hovered over mine, I could feel her breath on my face.

"Close the distance." She dared.

I hesitated for a spilt second before complying. Our lips met hungrily, she pulled me closer as her tongue swiped my bottom lip. I granted her access and I moaned into her mouth when our tongues collided. This was my first kiss in over a year and she did not disappoint one bit. My body already craved for more and I knew I wanted her.

We pulled apart but we still held onto each other. My eyes opened to see her with a dazed and confused look in her eyes. We silently stared at each other before being interrupted my Kelly.

"Oh man, that was hot." She fanned her face. "I think I might be a little gay." She walked off.

Raelynn was still staring at me when I turned back to her so I asked, "What?"

"Wanna have some fun?" She had a cocky smirk on.

I thought for awhile. I really did need to move on and have some fun. No relationship needed, just plain fun.

"Yes, but on one condition."

She raised a brow. "And that is?"

"We only have fun, no attachments." I gave my condition.

"Sweetheart, that's what I'm all about." She whispered against my lips before kissing me briefly.

"Give me a minute." She nodded and I made my way to Kelly and Peter.

Kelly sat on his lap as they made out, both drunk and horny. I rolled my eyes and tugged on her arm.

"Fuck away." She mumbled before going back to kiss him.

"Kel, I'm going with Raelynn." I said, loud enough for her to hear over the music.

That got her attention.

"Really?" Her eyes lit up. I nodded. "Fucking finally. Wait, should I warn you about mixing business with pleasure?" She slightly slurred her words.

"Weren't you the one who said, you're my friend before my boss?"

"Yes, right, I did. Have a good fuck." She went back to kissing her husband.

Raelynn led me down a hall pass the VIP area. We passed a few doors before stopping at one and entering. As soon as the door closed, her lips were on mine. My back hit the wall harshly as she pushed me against it. My hands were tangled in her shoulder length hair while hers squeezed and kneaded my ass. She was rough with her actions and it only turned me on more. She moved to my collar bone, sucking hungrily at my flesh. One hand on my ass, the other on my breast, she groped me. I moaned loudly, enjoying being touched after so long.

Her phone rang before we could go further though, and she groaned while reaching for it.

"Hello?" She waited, with an irritated look on her attractive face. "Right, I'll be right there." She hung up. She turned to me with a regretful expression. "I'm so sorry, something came up and I have to go."

I was disappointed but shrugged nonchalantly. "It's fine. I should head back." I went to leave but she stopped me.

She looked hesitant before speaking. "We could um, continue at my place? I just have one thing to deal with real quick."

"Are you sure?" I asked because she didn't look too certain.

"Yes. Let's go." She grabbed my hand.

On our way out, I noticed people staring after us, but I paid no attention to them. Raelynn led me to her car, the same one from that day at the grocery store. We both got in her Lamborghini and she sped off.

It was only when we were on our way, did the nerves kick in.
