Saved by a Dark Billionaire

My Rose

Lucas' P.O.V.

There was my rose, standing before me in a black small dress. A dress that left little to the imagination. Her red hair had been straightened, seeming so much longer now. She looked hot as hell with those red stilettos that matched her hair, and shade of lipstick, perfectly.

Leo had gotten her some fruity drink, as if a girl like her would like something like that. She took it with a smile, being polite for some reason. I switched her drink for my own. I knew she would love the burn of the alcohol down her throat. I wasn't wrong as she downed it without even making a face. As much as I tried I hadn't been able to get her out of my head since that night.

That's not to say I haven't tried, but no woman could seem to excite me the same way she did. Her body was perfect with the unexpected tattoo sleeve on her side that went from just below her breast to her upper thigh. I knew she probably got those done without a cry of pain. She was tough as nails.

It was the way she stood up to a drunk large man with no fear that drew my attention to her that first night. The game she played with me after, only had me wanting her more. She wasn't like any of the girls I'd been with before. I doubt she even knows who I really am, which only added to her allure. She wasn't after me because of who I am. She had come for me because I was the most intimidating man there and she liked the challenge.

I don't understand why she's here with someone like Leo. She's so out of his league. Leo would have no idea what to do with a woman like her. Leo may be my best friend, but he's an i***t. He doesn't have anything to offer her, but his money. I don't know how he got her here, but I'm not letting this chance escape me.

I had to get Lisa from her apartment in New Jersey, making me late. She's lucky she's my sister, or I'd be pretty pissed. She needed a night out after the week she'd been through though, so I didn't mind getting her. Leo loves seeing her too. He's had a long standing crush on her since he was 6. She pays him no mind thankfully. I don't want to have to choose between my best childhood friend and my sister if they ever did hook up and break up after.

"Care for a dance?" I asked her, enjoying the pink I was causing to show on her cheeks.

"Shouldn't you be dancing with your date?" She snapped, surprising me a bit. I just laughed at the thought. Was she jealous?

"That's not my date. She's my sister." I leaned into her ear to speak so I wouldn't have to keep yelling.

"Yeah, sure, and I'm a rockstar." She rolled her eyes, not believing me for some reason.

I shrugged my shoulders, heading towards Lisa. Maybe she'll believe it if Lisa tells her. Lisa already knew about Rose. I called her Wednesday complaining that she was taking up too much room in my mind. She made fun of me, wondering if this would be the girl I finally settled down for. She's wrong though, I think I just need to fu.ck her again to get her out of my system. I don't need another relationship after the shi.t I've been through.

"Do me a favor, go tell my Rose who you are." I asked her, prying her away from Kade who was doing his best attempt at capturing her attention.

"So that really is her then?" She took a selfie of herself, making sure to capture Rose in the background. She then zoomed into the picture to get a better look of her. She was great at checking people out without them noticing. "She's hot, Luke." She hit my chest with the back of her hand in surprise.

"She thinks you're my date."

"Why didn't you tell her I'm your sister?"

"She didn't believe me." I shook my head.

"I got you. Don't worry. I'll make it happen." She winked at me as she flicked her black hair over her shoulder and made her way towards my Rose.

They spoke for a while and I wondered what exactly she was telling her. When their conversation was over Lisa was heading back to me with a smile.

"I see why you can't get her out of your head. Good luck brother." She patted my back, before heading to the dance floor.

What just happened?

Rose started to walk in my direction, making me believe she was going to take me up on my offer, but instead she grabbed her friend and dragged her to the dance floor. Eshay by Dassy started playing, having Rose backing her as/s up against her friend. They danced seductively together, knowing exactly what they were doing.

Rose paid me no mind as she had her fun. I couldn't help the amused grin that crossed my face as I watched her. She was fu.cking hot, and I wasn't the only guy who's attention she was catching. I saw other guys try to make their way towards them, but she'd push them away any time they touched her. She wasn't interested and she made it known.

"When did you meet her?" Leo came up beside me with his scotch in his hand.

"Last week."

"It's not like you to still be hung up on someone a week later." He swirled his drink in his hand.

"I know." I couldn't pry my eyes away from her as he spoke to me.

"Damn man. I thought maybe I had a chance, but if she's slept with you, there's no hope for me." He laughed dryly. I try not to go after girls that I know Leo likes. I don't ever want a girl to cause a drift between us, but in this case I had her first.

"Sorry, Leo. Where'd you meet her anyway?"

"On campus, I kinda ran into her, or more like I accidentally wacked her with a door. Hurting her and breaking her phone." He groaned, explaining how they met. I laughed at him. He'd always been clumsy, but it usually ended in only his own pain and not someone else's.

"I'm surprised she still talked to you after that."

"You and I both." Leo sighed. "Fu.ck man. I was really starting to like her. You know, she wasn't going to accept the phone I had gotten for her because it was too new?" He shook his head in disbelief.

She didn't like lavish gifts.

I made a mental note. I continued to watch her as I nursed my drink. I didn't miss the eyes of the girls that were checking me out. I ignored them all, even the ones that had the balls to come talk to me. I kept my eyes locked on my Rose and her beautiful body.

I watched as a larger man made his way towards her. He grabbed her waist, but she pushed him off. He was a bit too drunk to take the hint, coming back to her and grabbing her hips again. I started walking towards them ready to help her when she needed it. I should have known she wouldn't need it.

"I said get your hands off me before I kick your as/s!" She yelled at him, not a shred of fear in her tone. This guy was easily double her size with the stilettos on, yet she threatened him like he was a small teenage boy. The guy just laughed at her, clearly not taking her seriously. I walked closer ready to pull the guy off her.

"Come on, babe. Don't be like that. You're sitting here dancing with your friend like that because you wanted a man to come to you. Here I am, baby."

I was about to reach them when I saw her pull her fist back and punch him right in the throat, surprising the hell out of everyone. She then kicked his side, and punched his kidney. I could see she was an experienced fighter.

Damn this girl is full of surprises.
