don’t care. He’s touching her. Nobody touches her.” He ignored Carmen’s attempts to stop him and bulldozed through the crowd, not giving a good goddamn about anything or anyone, but his woman being in the arms of another man.
     

     
    “Addison.”
    Her name was called with such authority that for a moment she felt as if she’d gotten caught doing something wrong. Her head snapped up and she could see Maikao just a few feet away, murder in his eyes.
    She immediately let go of Eli, who glanced down at her in confusion. They’d been enjoying themselves. Things were a little on the awkward side at first, but once Eli started moving, they just seemed to fall into place. The man danced wonderfully—which was a surprise because one would never guess it from looking at him.
    Even with that being so, she hadn’t felt right with the way he’d held her in the beginning. The only time she’d ever really melded with anyone during a slow song was with Mak. The way his hands felt on her was...natural.  Eli’s gaze moved from her to Mak’s furious expression and his hands dropped from her waist.
    “Something wrong?”
    Maikao’s eyes never left her face. He walked closer and grabbed her hand. “You and I need to talk. Now.”
    Her brows lowered. “I am not—”
    “Two ways, Addie. You come on your own or I carry you out. Which one will it be?” He cut her off.
    “Mak, what’s up with you? She’s in the middle of—”
    Maikao’s head swung in Eli’s direction so fast that for the first time since she’d met him, the other man actually backed away from his own friend. “Stay. Out. Of. It.” He tugged at Addison’s hand. “Let’s go.”
    Mouthing “I’m sorry” over her shoulder to Eli, she tried to keep up with Maikao’s long legged strides as he left the ballroom and led them down a dim corridor, his fingers never releasing her own.
    He finally let her go.
    Addison rounded on him. “Mak, what the fuck was that?”
    “What the fuck was that?” He roared back, then shook his hips in a way that would’ve been funny if she weren’t so goddamned pissed. “What the fuck was that shit?”
    “We were dancing!”
    “Oh, you were dry-humping in a room full of onlookers with your ass practically hanging out!”
    “Carmen did this to my dress, you asshole, and you’re the one who told me to show up with my goddamn legs out!”
    “I told you to show up as my date with your goddamn legs out. Not to show up with your goddamn legs out and play crotch rub with Eli all night!”
    “You knew!” Addison pointed at him. “You knew I wanted to date him!”
    “Well, you’re not going to.” Maikao waved a hand. “So call it a night on your little seduction plan because that will happen over my dead body!”
    She gripped her hair on each side, tugging at it. “Argh! I don’t get you! Why in the hell do you give a shit who I date and who I don’t date? It’s not like it would affect you if we went out a few times and it didn’t work out. People do it every day and still remain friends.”
    “Oh, it would affect me.” He snarled, backing her into a darker corner.
    “How?” Addison threw up her hands. “How would it affect you?”
    “Because,” Maikao’s voice suddenly dropped lower. So did his lids as he pinned her in by placing a hand on either side of her head. “The only goddamn man you’ll be dating from now until the good Lord himself smites me is me .”
    She didn’t have time to process that. Not with the way he leaned his head down and fastened his lips onto her own. Addison gasped, raising her hands to push him away...at first. But her arms ended up wound around his neck, pulling him closer; her nipples hardening on the contact of his tongue slipping into her mouth.
    A low guttural groan rumbled up from his chest, causing the hairs on the back of her neck to stand up as he deepened the kiss. Addison ran her fingers through his hair, heat building in her lower belly. Maikao cupped her
