Bound to my Enemy novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Chapter NINE.

I sighed, irritation starting to creep in. "I’m not most girls."

He smirked. "That’s what they all say."

I finished my drink and picked up the second glass, scanning the crowd again.

Still no sign of Ivy.

I checked my phone.

Nothing from her.

I set the glass down and shifted my weight, the first real spark of concern blooming in my chest.

"She’s probably stuck in line," I told myself. "VIP or not."

Ryan leaned closer again. "You seem tense."

"I am," I said shortly.

"Come onlet me help you relax."

Before I could respond, he reached out, his hand brushing my arm.

That did it.

I stepped back sharply and shoved his shoulder away from me. Not hard enough to make a scene, but enough to make my point.

"Don’t fuckign touch me," I said.

His expression changed instantly, irritation flashing across his face. "Wow. Okay."

"Move," I added.

He scoffed. "You didn’t have to be like that."

"I absolutely did."

He muttered something under his breath about being a bitch and finally stepped away, disappearing back into the crowd.

I barely noticed.

My attention was already elsewhere.

I grabbed my phone and typed quickly.

Where are you cupcakes?

I left the drinks on the bar and pushed through the crowd, heading for the stairs, my pulse picking up with every step. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
