Maddox's POV

I don't think I have ever felt more content than in this moment. I continue holding her to my frame as if she was an extension of me. I can feel her hand softly rubbing my hair down in the back making me almost groan with how good it feels. She smells of the ocean and sands. I continue keeping our foreheads connected as I feel her muscles relax against my own. Her breast are brushing against my chest as my steel cage around her doesn't let loose. I can feel myself enjoy this dance thoroughly. My hands stay glued on her waist although I really want to let them wander. 

She leans her head back making me open my eyes to lock with her silver irises. Jesus, she is a goddess. I continue holding her gaze while our hips sway to the music. I feel one of her hands leave the back of my neck as it comes forward tracing my jaw line tenderly making it tense unintentionally. Fuck, I liked that. Her fingertips then go to my forehead gently pressing against my temples making me relax my face. I sigh and smile at her as she returns the jester. 

The song changes to a hip hop song and I can see her eyes light up as she makes me unwrap my arms from around her making me twitch wanting to hold her again. The beat changes and I see her close her eyes as the song takes over her. She turns around in my embrace and backs up pressing her back to my chest and her ass into my crotch. She begins moving her hips making it hard for my lower regions to not react. I groan and place my hands on her hips. She grins over her shoulder clearly noticing what she is doing to me. We continue dancing like this for the song while my hands travel back and forth over her stomach. Her body pressing firmly into my front. 

When the song comes to an end, I see Luke coming our way. Z turns around seeing movement coming towards us. Her body becoming more rigid with him coming closer. I wonder why she is tense? Luke comes over and as he is about to throw an arm over her shoulder. I step in and throw it back before it makes contact. Z smiles softly at me and relaxes looking at me. She trust me, I grin at my realization.

Ahem

We both snap our heads to my now team standing near us on the dance floor. If I thought she became tense with just Luke. She looks like a statue now beside me. She looks at the 6 ft men standing here with crossed arms and raised eye brows. Her face is void of emotion but her stance gives away how uncomfortable she is. I place my hand at the small of her back causing her to look up at me. I smile at her reassuringly. She takes a deep breath then turns back to my team mates. Luke steps forward and places his hand out palm up for Z. She looks at then before looking up at me. I take that as my queue. I clear my own throat. 

"She's not dancing with you Luke." Luke grins at my hand still on her back. He lifts his hands in a gesture of surrender. 

"Can't blame a guy for trying." He turns to the guys, "Come on guys, lets let the captain have his fun..."

I can feel Z's muscles tense again the moment he makes that comment. She waits for him to leave before she takes a step away from me. I can see her brain working overtime about my dick-head friend's comment. 

"Z, it's not-"

She raises her hand as if telling me to stop before shaking her head. Her mood completely changing as she looks around before spotting her friends. She turns back to me searching my eyes before closing hers. She takes one more deep breath before opening her eyes to see them glossy from what seems to be waiting tears. I can see she believes my friend making me feel broken. I don't want her to think I was toying with her. I am about to open my mouth before she abruptly turns around  quickly stepping away. I begin taking off after but she makes it to the bathroom shutting the door on my face. I slouch and lean against the wall outside the bathroom. I wait a few minutes but she still isn't coming out. I walk to it knocking on the door. I reach for the door knob and realize she didn't lock the door. I look both ways before swiftly going into the bathroom. I look around and realize she isn't in here. I then see a small window is open. Fuck! 

I slam my fist on the counter before stomping out of the bathroom. I make a direct beeline for where I see my team mates and Luke. Luke sees me coming and the look I am sporting and automatically looks worried. Good! I make it to him and yank him up by his collar. Our team mates fast to stand up trying to figure out what is going on. 

"What is-"

"Why the fuck did you make that comment?" I grit out still holding his collar in a death grip. He raises his hands in a defensive nature. 

"Whoa man, it was a jo-" I don't wait for him to finish before socking him across his jaw. Our team mates now stepping in to separate me from hitting him again. He wipes his mouth while looking at me wide eyed. I continue glaring at him as I feel my chest rise and fall. 

"She ran because of you!" 

"I'm sorry man-"

"No, your a fucking idiot." I push one of the guys hands that is on my shoulder off as I feel my sister coming up to me. She presses her hand on my torso away from my team. I let her push me away from them. Luke looks down towards the ground his jaw clenching looking as guilty as hell. 

We get away from them as I now see Macey, Tyler and the two guys coming over to us. I look down at Cass who is looking at me worriedly. I force a small smile to her. 

"Where's Z?" Macey ask as soon as she reaches us. The three guys listening as well. 

"She left. Luke made a comment and she ran." 

"What kind of comment?" Chris speaks up now clutching his fist. I can see how angry his is becoming. Derek and Tyler don't look much better. 

"He led her to believe I was toying with her." The moment my comment is made. Chris walks away with Macey quick to follow. Derek continues looking at me as Tyler stands rigid as a board looking at the ground. 

"Does it hold any truth?" Derek speaks up with narrowed eyes. I narrow my gaze as well and I'm about to step him but a fight breaks out behind me that makes us all turn around. I see Chris on top of Luke throwing punches at him. My team mates not even attempting to stop the raging man. I push threw the crowd beginning to form and pull Chris back from him. He doesn't have a scratch on him. I then look back to see Luke attempting to stand up. I continue holding Chris by the shoulder. 

"I didn't mean it." Luke says with a staggered breath. Macey who I didn't even realize was standing beside him steps up to him. She knees him in groin making him double over in pain before she steps up to me. The 5 ft woman looking like hell in heals. I stand there as she points her finger at me. 

"Stay. away. from. her." She sneers out before grabbing Chris' arm pulling him away. I look back to see them all leaving except Derek. My sister walking back over to me. Her shoulder's slouching slightly. She gives me a pitiful smile before looking over at Luke. He looks at her with longingly as she rolls her eyes. She takes my hand leading me out. I let her as we walk out of the club. 

"That was... interesting." I give her a deadpan look as she hugs my side. My mood as sour as can be.

 I hope I get the chance to set it straight...
