Free La Cosa Nostra, This Thing of Ours by Amie Nichols Page B

smile. "I am so glad to see you. You had ten more minutes before I came searching for you," he says close to my ear so I can hear over the loud music. "Can I kiss you now?" It is so cute how he asks for permission. It's like a little boy asking for ice cream. I smile and nod yes. 
    Before I get the whole nod out , his warm soft lips are on mine and he's sliding his tongue over my bottom lip to open my mouth. It doesn't take much effort since I was going to be opening it anyway. It's a soft and gentle kiss as our tongues explore each other. He kisses my top lip before ending the kiss. I want to protest almost immediately, but realize we have attracted onlookers. 
    "I have b een craving that all day, Petal," he coos at me, coming in for another kiss that is just as gentle but hot all at the same time. 
    "Harper! " I hear the shrill cry of a very drunk Tara.  She practically knocks Liam out of the way as she gives me a bear hug. She is one of those 'I love you' drunks. "It's about time you got here. We thought we were going to have to handcuff Liam to the table. He's wanted to go look for you for the past two hours. Come on, I want you to meet everyone," she screeches, dragging me to the table. 
    I turn to see that Liam is hot on our tails. Tara plops back into the booth as soon as we get there, taking a long swallow of her drink. Liam places his hand on my bare back. The contact is warm, but it sends shivers through me. 
    "I like this." He smiles rubbing his hand up and down my back. "You look beautiful by the way," he whispers in my ear. 
    "Thank you ." I lean into him to get close to his ear.  Everyone at the booth crowds around, but there is still little room. Before I know what happens, Liam is sitting and I am on his lap, one hand on my back the other now on my leg. 
    "Harper, this is my good fri end, Chuck, and his girlfriend, Simone." Liam introduces the other couple at the table.
    "I hav e heard a lot about you, Harper," Chuck says, smiling at me, like he knows a secret that I should know too. "As long as I've known old Liam here, he has never talked about a girl like he has talked about you." My face feels warm, I'm sure I am blushing. The mix of sitting on Liam's lap and what Chuck just said makes everything very warm. 
    "Do you want a drink, Petal?" Liam asks, wrapping his hand under my hair so he has a hold of the nape of my ne ck, he brings me closer to him. He lightly bites my ear, before he whispers, "Or would you like to do something else." I turn my face to him, and he has a very serious look. He adjusts me on his lap and I feel why he is serious.  His cock is bulging against my ass. His hand starts up my thigh a little farther. I see that Simone is watching us, and it is making me very uncomfortable. She's not just watching, she bites her lower lip and looks like she is going to come join in.
    I stand up fast shocking everyone, especially Liam who leans forward to hide his excitement. 
    "I need to use the ladies rooms," I blurt out to explain my sudden need to get away from the groping that was turning me on a little too much.  It wasn't the fact that it was turning me on. I just don't want to be that way in a crowded club with strangers watching. 
    "I'll go with you," Tara says getting up. Liam's face is wounded, but soon turns to anger. No, it wasn't you, baby . I feel like I need to explain, I can tell he thinks I was rejecting his affection. I wasn't. I'm about to lean down to whisper in his ear just what the problem was when Tara grabs my wrist and drags me away. 
    "God, Tara , just a second." I fight against her grip feeling the need to explain to Liam. He looked really hurt and pissed off.
    "There's no line so let's go. " Her grip tightens and in my high heels I don't have much leverage. I hurry in the bathroom feeling the need to get back to Liam, to let him know. I'm walking behind Tara back to our table when she stops dead in her tracks. 
    "Geez , Tara!" I yell when I almost face plant
