because I’d rather not be left behind with Mister Serious, thank you. It’s bad enough that I can feel him staring daggers at the back of my head.
“Are you sure I should be here?” I suddenly have a very bad feeling.
“Of course! You’re gonna have so much fun! You’ll see.”
Walking out into the main area, I’m instantly impressed. You definitely wouldn’t be prepared for this by looking at the outside. There’s two bars set up on either side of the room and they appear to be identical in style, and fully stocked with all the liquor and beer you could ever want. In the center of the room between the two bars is a huge u-shaped couch. The oversized couch seems to be the focal point of the room which I find a bit odd. There is a hallway off each bar. At a glance, I’d say there are many doors down those hallways. There’s definitely not a dance floor here, that’s for sure.
I’m starting to feel out of place. What sort of club is this? Amber walks toward one of the bars, and I follow. “This is typically where you can find me. I serve the drinks and keep up conversation. I guess you could say I’m eye candy, only I never leave the bar.” She’s so nonchalant as she says this and keeps walking while I follow behind her.
“So, what kind of bar is this exactly? Clearly, it’s not a dance club!” I may sound a bit rude, but I have that lied to feeling going on here. Only, she really hasn’t lied to me.
“We are a type of gentlemen’s club, for lack of a better term.” A very deep voice answers from behind me.
I spin around so quick that if he didn’t put his hands around me to steady me, I would’ve found myself on the floor. The feel of a large warm hand on my arms causes goose bumps to form on my body which is odd considering I haven’t even looked at him yet. When I do finally turn around to get a glimpse of him, I am met with a wall of chest. I’m stunned in place.
“And who is this?” Oh. My. God. That voice. Which is nothing compared to the incredible face I see when I finally bring my eyes up to meet his. Is this guy even real? I’ve never seen someone so good looking before, at least not up close anyway. If ever I was the type to have rebound sex, I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to this guy. Hell, a rebound might be just what I need right now. Something tells me I might get in a little trouble with this one, though.
He has this dangerous appeal to him. Like you just know he’s not a good man, like he makes a living off of doing bad things. He’s huge. He has at least six inches on me, despite the fact that I’m in heels. This man is all bulging muscle, taut and firm with his movements even though he’s in a suit. His face is clean-shaven, and his hair is trimmed. I can’t seem to stop staring especially into his dark eyes.
I’m mesmerized, and I don’t even know it. Not until Amber clears her throat. “Mr. Lewis, this is my new roommate, Lacey, the girl I was telling you about. She’s new to town so I figured I’d give her a tour.”
He stares at me a breath too long, and I feel my heart start to race and my palms begin to sweat. This has never happened to me before. For the first time, I have butterflies for a stranger. Suddenly, he releases his hold on my arms, and I feel the connection between us break. It’s almost like I can breathe again, like when his hands were touching me, my entire body froze.
“Nice to meet you, Lacey.” The way he says my name... I just know I’m in trouble, I need to stay as far away from this guy as I can. As good as revenge sex sounds with him, I’m just not sure I’m ready for that right now. “Tonight’s a big night, so make sure she’s not in the way.” He gives Amber a stern look. I give him a look of my own that says, asshole.
“Sure thing, Mr. Lewis,” Amber says as Mr. Lewis walks away. “That is Mr. Co-rey Lewis! He owns this place, and it’s best to stay on his good side. He may be nice to look at but he also
