gave her order.
    “I’ll have a Slippery Nipple with a Screaming Orgasm chaser. Wes, either of those peak your interest?” The leopard print vixen asked the man next to her. Lola’s eyes moved to her date, Wes, as the lady in the leopard print called him, and froze. She would know those blue eyes anywhere. His skin still looked soft. Even from this distance she could smell his scent as it surrounded her, subconsciously confirming her suspicion.
    Just the sight of him had her body responding, suddenly very warm. She could feel her nipples harden and a tingle begin to make itself known, deep inside. Get a grip!
    She was proud of how quickly she recovered. With a smile in place, she waited for him to give her his order. Glenlivet 12 on the rocks, figures . When she pulled the bottle of scotch down, she thought back to when she first started and noticed the expensive scotch as part of the inventory. She wondered why Cal kept such an expensive bottle on hand, now she knew the answer. Of all the bars in all of New England, why does he have to be in this one?
    She placed Ms. Leopard Prints order in front of her and watched as the knockout picked them up off the bar, winked to Wes, and said in a purr, “Thanks, sweets.” And walked off swishing her ass.
    Lola placed his rock glass down in front of him, with more force than she meant to, immediately she looked up and regretted it. The deep blue of his irises sought hers. Recognition? She was afraid he would slip up and their secret would be out. No, not “their” secret, rather, his of participation and hers of employment.
    Before Lola had a chance to tell him how much, he was handing her a crisp bill, “keep it.” His voice sent a shiver up her spine. It flowed out in such an intimate volume, she was sure he could bring a woman to the brink just by his voice.
    Knowing it was cowardly, but taking it nevertheless, she accepted the exit he offered. Without another word, she walked down the bar and threw herself into another order. She stuck the bills into her left bra cup, and squeezed her eyes shut as the stiff paper grazed against her already stimulated nipple.
    The evening went by quickly, before Lola knew it, it was closing on last call. There was now only a handful of people left in the bar. The band had since stopped and was now packing up their equipment.
    “Hey Lola, Cal said one of us could head out, so if you want to take off, I don’t mind closing up.” Jeff said as he started taking inventory of what needed to be brought up from the storage room.
    “Oh, I don’t mind staying Jeff, if you want to get out of here and see that beautiful newborn baby you got waiting at home.” Lola said as she walked over to the large tough looking man that was such a marshmallow when it came to his new daughter. She pulled the elastic from her wrist to put her long black hair up in a messy knot. She just needed the weight off her neck.
    “You don’t mind? I miss my princess. Who would have thought someone so small could have me wrapped around her little finger so easily. I’m starting to feel guilty for giving Kara so much of my attention and so little to Nancy.” He said as he stared off into space, no doubt to think of his girls at home.
    “Hey, Nancy knows she is your number one girl over the age of one month.” Lola said giving his husky arm a shove and a wink of her eye.
    Filling the last couple of orders to the regulars who closed the place down, she looked across the room, and was once again snared into a pair of ocean blue eyes.
    Oh God! He is still here!
    Suddenly, Lola could feel his eyes on her no matter what she busied herself with. She went to stack and fill the condiment containers with their freshly washed lids. She found herself looking up through her lashes and he was there, staring again.
    He just sat there, statue still, at one of the high pub tables, sipping at his scotch. Lola continued to busy herself with stocking and cleaning.
    “Hey Lola, how’d
