Loving Steele (First book in Rivers series)

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Storm's POV:

"Is this it?" Blake asked pulling into the parking lot of the club.

"Yea it is." I nodded. I couldn't necessarily go in but Ace assured that I could. Ace got out waiting for me and I stepped out and he took my hand. Brandon followed close behind us as Blake waited in the car.

"ID." The bouncer demanded. Ace let go of my hand and opened his coat and the bouncer's eyes went wide. He nodded for us to go in and we went in to the dark club. The music thumped under my feet as we emerged into the large area.

Ace directed me over to the bar and I sat on a stool.

"Do you see her?" He asked looking down at his phone. I turned back scanning the area and I found her chatting up some young guy in jeans and a tight shirt.

"She is behind you to your left leaning against the pole. She is wearing a red dress." I said quietly. He glanced back as the bartender laid a scotch down in front of him.

"Alright." He said downing the drink,

"Let's do this." He said walking over. I watched him when someone grabbed my hand and motioned to the dance floor. I nodded going over watching Ace tell the guy to leave. He stood very close to my step mom and she batted her eyelashes and twirled her hair. She ran her hand along his arm and took his hand leading him to the dance floor.

The guy behind me placed his hands on my hips and I winked at Ace as his jaw tensed. He danced with my step mom and ran his hands along her hips and torso. She leaned into him smiling happily and I frowned at her actions.

She whispered something in his ear and he nodded as she led him to a booth. I watched from a distance as she sat close to him lightly touching his jaw. She leaned in and pressed her lips to his.

Control yourself Storm, he isn't even your man...Don't screw this up.

I took a deep breath and looked away briefly to see Brandon come over.

"Sorry pal, she is with me." He said pushing the guy away from me. He took my hand and brought me over to the booth they were sitting at. We sat on the other end and he pulled me into his lap.

"Just giggle and listen to what they are saying." He ordered lowly in my ear. I faked a laugh and it was horrible and he chuckled lowly.

"That was so bad." He said. But I paid no attention as I listened.

"We can't go back to my place, my old husband is there." She said and I bit back a scoff.

"What is someone so young doing married?" Ace asked lightly running his finger tips on her jaw.

"He is rich..." She said and he laughed.

"You can come back to my bachelor pad." He said helping her up. We followed closely behind and outside where Blake waited. Ace pushed her into the limo as we got in on the other side. She screamed and thrashed around as they tied her up and placed a blindfold around her eyes. Brandon pulled out his gun and placed it at her forehead.

"Sit there nicely and shut up." He said and she shook in fear.

"Please my husband has a lot of money. He can pay you." I scoffed at the statement and shook my head rolling my eyes.

"Please! He can his name is Mark Callaway!" She said desperately.

"Relax darling. Just chill out." Brandon cooed putting the gun away. I looked to Ace who sent me a wink and I couldn't help but blush.
