Chapter 70

Kai POV

The club is loud and there’s couples gyrating on the dance floor everywhere, I might own the club but this really isn’t my scene, not that I’m about to tell Winter that. Not when she’s looking all over the place with awe, a large smile on that beautiful face of hers. She looks like she’s glowing in excitement and I’m further surprised when she just orders a root beer to drink and sips at it, her face alight as she listens to the music, her foot tapping in time to the rhythm. She looks like any other normal teenage girl out clubbing,

For awhile we sip our drinks, content to listen and be quiet, occasionally asking each other questions but I can see Winter is longingly looking at the dance floor. The outfit I chose for her suits her down to the ground and she even added leggings to it. She looks stunning, an absolute goddess and easily the most beautiful woman in the room. I’m lucky to have her here with me, that’s for sure. Especially given the envious looks from several other males who spot her. I smirk. She’s all mine, fellas. Come near her and I’ll murder you without a qualm.

I quietly place my drink down and turn to her with a small smile. “Would you like to dance” I offer and her eyes light up immediately as she stands up and almost drags me to the dance floor. I guess that’s a yes, then.

We go to the edge of the dance floor. I prefer not to be in the centre with all the gyrating bodies everywhere. Good lord, some of these girls are wearing almost nothing. Aren’t they freezing?

I’m a little out of my element. I’m not much of a dancer and I’m also incredibly aware of my scars. I can see a few women pointing them out to each other and whispering and my face burns in embarrassment. But I was determined to make sure that Winter had a good time and that’s what I was going to do. So I put aside all my inhibitions and began to groove to the music, Winter laughing at my pathetic attempt to dance to young person’s music as I like to think of it. But at least she’s having fun and that’s what matters the most to me. I want her to be out here enjoying herself.

She’s having a wonderful time, even cosying up to me and laughing as I twirl her around. But it’s not long until I get hot from all the moving around in the crowd and judging by the flush on her cheeks she feels the same. We both need to cool down.

“Another drink?” I suggest and she nods gratefully, using her hand to fan her face as I lead her back towards one of the booths.

“Root beer?” I check and she gives a small nod. “I’ll be right back” I tell her with a smile. I go and join the crowd waiting to be served.
