Charlie didn't want to think about the fight between Davia and Sydni. He was glad the women were friends again, and he hoped it stayed that way. That was why Charlie avoided being alone with Sydni. Attraction lingered between them, and their feelings for each other went well beyond sexual desire. Charlie had always felt close to Sydni. Syd knew him almost as well as Davia did. It was in everyone's best interest if he kept some distance between himself and Sydni, because Charlie wasn't sure he'd be able to keep his hands off the woman if they were alone together under the right circumstances. And while Sydni would never admit it, Charlie knew she'd cave. Then they'd all be fucked.
He needed to focus on Davia at all times. So long as she was close by, he could avoid temptation. His eyes stayed locked on her, and all his sexual desire was channeled toward her. And right now, he needed to release that desire. He laced his fingers with hers and pulled her away from the dance and through the hallways.
Finding a room he knew would be empty (and possessed a lock), Charlie tugged her inside and quickly shut the door behind them. He pressed her back into the door and immediately pounced. Charlie attacked her mouth with passionate kisses as his hands slid down her sides. "You look as stunning as you did on the beach that night," he said between kisses down her neck, nipping teasingly at the flesh there. He wouldn't bite her, because the blood might stain her dress, and they would have to return to the dance when they were done here.
