HOT Mess

Chapter Seven

_______________________________________________________________________________

The strangers hands were practically all over Aidan's body as they danced under the flickering lights. A new Usher song was bumping from the speakers as Aidan stared at the strangers seductively handsome face. His eyes were lowered a bit, staring at Aidan's shoulder as they rocked to the beat, Aidan's back pressed against his chest.

"You got a name?" The stranger spoke into his ear and Aidan shrugged.

"Would you dance with me if I didn't?"

The stranger just laughed. "Absolutely yes."

"Good thing I have one, it's Aidan, what about you?"

"Nic..short for Nicholas." He said shortly and Aidan nodded.

"I like it." Aidan tilted his head back and grinned in Nicholas's face.

"And I like you." Nic confessed with an arched eyebrow. "Are you single?"

Aidan repeated the question silently in his mind and pondered whether to lie or not. He didn't want to lead a stranger on so he reluctantly answered, "No."

Nic's mouth twitched until it formed a smooth smile. He trailed his hands to Aidan's hips and leaned into him more. "Really now? How come you're dancing with me?"

Aidan turned around to face him, Nic's hands still secured on his hips. "Because you asked me to dance with you." He explained coolly.

Nic's smirk grew until all of his white teeth were clearly seen. "Yes, that's a good answer. Still, what if I asked you to have a drink with me?"

Aidan smiled. "A drink is nothing."

Nic's eyes flashed. "What if I asked you to go home with me?"

Aidan remained calm, his smile still positioned on his face. It wasn't like he was use to someone being so forward, he was usually the forward one. He bit his bottom lip and scratched the tip of his ear before opening his mouth.

"Then I would ask you to fuck off." Someone beat him to the punch, grabbing his hand while at it. He glanced back at Bryan whose eyes flickered with nude anger. Aidan was thankful for him, squeezing his hand as Nic chuckled slyly.

"I was only offering a drink. I was kidding about the last part." He casually lied, staring at Bryan who sneered.

"I bet you were. Sorry to break it to you but," Bryan paused to pull Aidan closer until his hip was plastered to his side. He slid a hand to Aidan's waist before slipping it under his shirt to securely hold him close. "-he's going home with me."

Aidan glanced downwards trying to hide his blush. Nic snorted, "Whatever." and then walked off to prey on someone else. Bryan kept his warm hand on Aidan's skin and glanced down at him.

"Do you not know how good you look?" He mumbled against his ear and smiled. "Stay by my side and you won't get snatched up." He pulled Aidan towards a set of stairs which led them to a V.I.P section.

Leather chairs were lined up against the walls with black glass tables. People were lounging on the chairs talking or either making out. Bryan led them to a table in the far corner where the dance floor below could be seen from every corner. At least four people were already seated when Bryan took a seat, pulling Aidan onto his lap like a child. The four faces turned when they noticed the newcomers and the dirty blonde Bryan walked in with captured Aidan's attention. She had a bitter smile on her face as she stared him from head to toe.

"Who's this?" A guy with brown wavy hair and deep blue eyes asked, also staring Aidan up from head to toe.

Bryan glanced up at Aidan who shifted in his lap until he was comfortable. "This is Aidan. Aidan, that's Myke. Myke, stay away from Aidan. Aidan, stay away from Myke."
