" Desire is a life force. It is not something to try to get rid of. It is not something that you can get rid of even if you try. Even the desire to rid yourself of desire, is in and of itself a desire. " - -Teal Swan

A distraction is what she hoped for, some innocent fun to loosen the grip around her heart allowing her to take control of her mind and body again. Life always knew how to bite back.

     Three  men stood in front of her. Each looking nastier than the other. The nastiest, the one in the middle, the leader  with a gold chain around his neck and diamonds in his teeth. He wore a shirt so shiny it reflected all the lights, blinding people who lay eyes on him.  Like his flashy style, his gun was in plain sight, tucked in the front of his trousers. A tacky way of  arming oneself with a weapon. A style only those at the bottom of the food chain inherit to show off the little power they have over the few they lead.  Nonetheless, it was a gun. A weapon that only needed a second to kill a person. Scarlett saw the gun. Her throat tightened with fear. Her feet couldn't move. The only option she saw was to trust the man that had his arm wrapped tight around her. His grip was like a shield calming her senses. The gun had no effect on him, Michael Kane. A history teacher? Clearly he was more than that. He laughed at the site of the gun. He looked at these men like they were children.

"Shall we go" his lips brushed Scarletts hand gently. His arctic blue eyes mesmerizing and cold like its color. But, he had a softness to him. She swallowed hard with nervousness, focusing on her steps as she walked up the stairs.

"I'm not finished with you!" The gun now pointed just above the beautiful blue eyes. "What is Mr. Cool going to do now." Scarlett squeezed her little hands tight around Kane's arms. The leader positioned his finger on the trigger. A discussing smile lit up his face.

"Maybe if you behave, your parents will give you some bullets." Kane walks past with a smirk.

"You fucker! It is loaded." Click. Click. the gun sounded as his finger pulled the trigger in frustration. 

"Sweet heart."  Kane opened the shiny red curtain. "Take a deep breath." Kane's warm breath touched Scarlett's ear. The corner of her lips go up in a small smile. In the comfort of his arms she was able to pull herself together accepting the situation.

" I didn't think you had time to play" A deep voice with anger hidden in it said. She turned and clashed eyes with the very person that influenced her decisions. Not one word was said between the two. But, if the men in that lounge were remotely smart they would have notice the tension between them.

"Just a little kitten I picked up."  Kane pushes her on to his lap. His  black hair shined like  velvet. A messy look that made him look  fierce. His breathtaking blue eyes and the dark black suit that emphasizes the power he had over these me; yes, there was something captivating about him. Kane reached for a whisky soaked cherry. Scarlett gave him a confused look. Kane took the lead. To keep her safe He had to show dominance. He had to show all these men here that she was his. He put the cherry between his lips. His hands easily pushed her forward, bringing her lips to the cherry. Soon there was no cherry. Just two pairs of lips with no space between them. Liam's grip tightened around the glass in his hand. Kane saw the burning anger in his eyes. He respected his partners silent warning and did no more. He restrained her, making her sit on his lap like a delicate ornament.
