Holding You (Love Wanted in Texas #3)(61)

“Ah hell. Look at my girl go!” Grace shouted as we all laughed. I was silently thanking God they didn’t come up with this bet last night when they were all drunk.

The blond stood up and wrapped his arm around Alex’s waist and moved her to the dance floor. “My brother would be going through the roof right now if he saw this,” Libby said.

Some hip-hop song I’d never heard of began playing as the bass thumbed in my chest. Had Colt been here I would have been turned on by the idea of dancing all up on him. But he wasn’t, so I needed to stow away my naughty thoughts of him.

Alex wrapped her arms around the guy’s neck and went after it with everything she had. She smiled, she tossed her head back and laughed, she whispered against his ear. She even turned and placed her backside to him. When he brushed his hand down her side and dangerously close to her breasts, she quickly turned around.

“Oh! Nice move, Mathews!” Maegan shouted. Glancing to Taylor, she was watching Alex closely but smiling.

The song ended and Alex walked back over to the bar with him. Less than thirty seconds later, she was walking back with a napkin and the guy’s number on it.

Grace and Maegan’s smiles dropped. “What? No f*cking way!” Maegan yelled as Alex walked up and smiled as she waved the napkin around. Grace shook her head and placed her hands on her hips and glared at Alex.

Alex leaned over and whispered in Libby’s ear. Pulling back, Libby smiled and winked.

“All right bitches, let’s see what the married one with a baby can do,” Grace said as she pointed to Libby.

Libby stood up straighter, adjusted her breasts and said, “All right. Watch and learn ladies. Watch and learn.”

Libby walked over to the same group of guys, but she zeroed in on one of the other guys. Turning, Libby pointed and four guys all turned and looked. The guy Alex danced with smiled at Alex as she gave him a flirty wave.

“Shit, that guy wants in someone’s panties,” Grace teased Alex.

One of the guys got up and followed Libby to the dance floor. Smoke began engulfing the dance floor as the song changed. All I heard in the song over and over was I want to f*ck you all night long.

Waving a hand in front of her, Grace picked up her water glass and ran it along her neck. “Shit if that song don’t turn you on!”

Glancing back to Libby she was talking to the guy as they danced. His hands moved down to her hips as she placed her hand on his chest and bit down on her lower lip.

Maegan laughed. “Oh my gosh! She’s still using the move she had in high school.” We all started laughing until the guy moved his lips to Libby’s neck. Dropping her neck back she let him kiss her.

“Oh my God! What is she doing? She’s kissing,” Taylor shouted as she jumped up.

Not really liking where this was going, I turned to Alex and she winked at me. Something was up with those two. Grace and Maegan were shouting and hollering as the guy pulled back and said something to Libby that caused her to start laughing. The song ended and he reached into her back pocket and pulled out her cell phone.

“Oh. My. God. Are you kidding me?” Grace shouted as she stood there stunned. Libby gave the guy a flirtatious wave a she walked back over to us. Holding up her phone she showed everyone the number.

Greg was his name and the moment Libby showed Maegan and Grace, she deleted the number. Sitting down next to me I turned to her. “How could you let him kiss your neck, Libby?”

Leaning closer to me she said, “If you looked closely, his lips were nowhere near my neck. He was telling me about a kids’ show his daughter loves to watch on TV.”

Wait. What? A kids’ show?

I was about to ask what she was talking about when Grace announced it was her turn. Making her way back over to the guy she had just danced with, he took her hand and began dancing her around on the dance floor to a Luke Bryan song. She spun around and made sure at one point when he pulled her back in she was flush up against his body. Her hands were moving everywhere on his body and Alex yelled, “Slut!”

Grace must have heard her, because she lifted her middle finger in Alex’s direction.

The song ended and she handed him her phone. He punched his number in and she reached up and kissed him on lips. It wasn’t just a quick kiss. They were practically crawling into each other’s mouths. Laughing I turned to Alex and Libby and rolled my eyes. “I guess it doesn’t count since she had already gotten the number.

Grace walked back up and declared she was keeping that cowboy’s number. Reaching for my water, I took a sip. It felt extremely hot in the dance club and I began feeling light headed. Gesh Lauren. Get it together. It’s just a bet. It’s not like you’re cheating on Colt. It’s just a dance. Simple as that. One dance.

Maegan was next. She must have had her sights on someone because she walked up and whispered in the guy’s ear. He pulled back and nodded his head. Maegan glanced over her shoulder and winked.

The guy pulled her into his arms as a slow song started to play. “Damn. Meg is all up in that shit!” Grace said as she tossed her head back and laughed. Staring out at Maegan dancing my heart broke for her and Grace. They were both so beautiful and I knew they could easily walk out of here tonight with a guy. The both wanted to have fun, but that was as far as it went.

The song ended and Maegan followed the guy back to his table. I strained to see them through the crowd of people and for one brief second I began to worry. We had all agreed not to split up. What if this guy had taken Maegan off to a corner or something? Grace was trying to stand on her tippy toes to see Maegan. She turned and looked at Alex with a concerned look.
