Scarlett was eager to hear more about this man, but, he remained silent. He had only said a single sentence to her, and now, nothing. He had replaced her drink, but then when she started to try to chat with him, he barely seemed to pay her any mind. Scarlett started to feel a creeping sense of dread building in her stomach with each second that he didn't speak to her. Was she being weird? Did he find her creepy for offering him a sip? She was about to speak, but no words got to leave her lips as her eyes followed his hand to the mahogany bar.
Suddenly, a leather collar was slipped around her throat, the silver chain sparkling in the club lights. Scarlett swallowed, her dread vanishing for now. He had to be interested in her, at least enough to want to put a collar on her, right? The collar didn't choke her, but it held her neck so lovingly that it was almost like this collar was made for her. The cool metal touched her skin and she could feel some goosebumps prickle against her chest.
He towered over her, and Scarlett looked up into those gemstone eyes, her lips ever so slightly parted. She was about to speak once more. She wanted to ask him what the collar was for, but, his lips on hers cut her off. Scarlett's eyes widened for a second with surprise, confusion, and then, arousal. All of which flooded her senses. Then, the confusion and surprise slid away, and the only thing that remained was arousal.
Her eyes shut slowly and she reached up, her hands cupping his cheeks. Her kiss was inexperienced, unlike his. But, she tried to push her confidence into it. Nothing sounded worse than kissing someone who had never kissed someone and tried to pretend they were good at kissing. Sloppy confidence was pathetic, and Scarlett did not have sloppy confidence.
