It Takes Two For Tango Novels & Stories

I said, s‍mil⁠in​g back shyly. We held hands⁠ and walked around. We peeked int‍o one room. T‌wo white gu⁠ys and two brown-s⁠kinned women we‍r⁠e having a moment. O​ne guy wa‍s thrusting into a woman while pinching her nip⁠ples⁠. She moaned, “Oh y​es… ri​ght there… yes!” The other woman got on her hands and knees. The second guy saw us.‍ “Wan⁠t t‌o join?”

I eyed the golden watch on the table, pretending to be interested in something else while inching closer to the table. I knew it was wrong to steal but I couldn’t help it. I was hungry and I didn’t want to die. I couldn't afford to hesitate. I moved closer, each step calculated. Something in my head whispered caution, but hunger roared just a little louder. I could nearly hear the eulogy now: Artemis Vincent, dead at 22 because she was too virtuous to swipe a watch left behind by some rich guy.

Tense, the woman waited patiently for the next words from the people in front of her, although inside she wanted to run out and abort the mission. "Interesting," the black-haired man said, tilting his head slightly to the side. "It seems we have a special guest tonight." Elena tried to cover her confusion, though her mind was racing. Would that be enough to get them to leave her alone? Or would the eyes of two billionaires and their faithful squire follow her for the rest of the evening? "Come on, let's show you a bit more of our club," the brown-haired man said, offering his arm to Elena. "I'm sure you'll be delighted with what we have to offer."

The morning sun spilled through the glass façade of Knight Enterprises, catching every inch of its sleek marble floors and steel accents. The place glimmered like it had been polished by angels—or by interns who feared for their lives. Lily Carter power-walked across the lobby, clutching her bag with the intensity of someone headed into battle. Her heels clicked too fast against the marble, her blouse was tucked unevenly, and her ponytail had already sprouted a rebel strand that refused to stay put.

she looked at Trey who had a wicked smile on his face as he was about to pop the big question. “Truth or dare…?” he asked. “Dare…” Gina replied confidently as she was looking at him with an ecstatic smile as all eyes were now on her. “Pick a number…” Trey looked through his phone, hoping that she would pick the nastiest question ever. “Now…” he laughed teasingly as he momentarily had a formal tone. “Twenty-one…” Gina smiled at me and I smiled back as she turned back to see what the implications of her number were. “Wow…” Trey was overly excited and that had me wondering what it could have been. “Give a one-minute lap dance to any guy in the room.”

Unlike me. My heart stopped racing. Silence had stretched between us for more than five minutes now. Deciding I couldn’t let it prolong any longer, my shoulders loosened up as I broke the silence. “Do we have to do anything about it for now?” I asked him, and I was surprised when my voice didn’t fidget. Xander and I are still mates. Until he rejects me or I do. Like I wasn’t having enough dealing with how akward things had turned between us since I’d been out of prison, now I had to deal with another circumstance— my mate’s twin being my second fated mate.

The tango's rhythm grew faster, shifting from a slow dance to a wild Latin beat. The two of them spun wildly in the center of the room, clinging to each other as Scarlett's short skirt flew higher and higher. She was the only one in nine years to break the rules and get an "encore." If I was cool water, she was straight whiskey, a fire in his veins that tempted him toward the abyss. The music stopped abruptly. They looked at each other and burst into laughter.

I'd really break his jaw if I ever saw him. I knew I was being irrationally jealous and selfish but do not blame me. If you had a woman like her, the idea of someone else even looking at her would piss you off. Great, just the thought of it is already pissing me off real good. "Bentley just texted, he said he's ready. I'm ready too. Are you? Game starts in two hours time and we need to be there before then. I know you already know that Captain." Daniel said to me, hanging his bag over his shoulder.

Lovette POV Tasha had a date with Mike today at a restaurant somewhere in the city. She successfully convinced me to accompany her. Initially, I refused, cause I didn't want to be the third wheel. But she insisted and said I can come along with Ralph, which makes it a double date. I was restricted from leaving the house, so I sneaked out of the house with no one except Ralph knowing I left. He said he was going to meet us at the restaurant later on.

The strings start up a tango. He doesn’t release my hand. “Will you honor me with a dance?”
