move would’ve been punching him in the nuts.
    “Shit ,” he grumbled and let out a frustrated sigh. “I’ve been trying to hit that for months now.” He ran a hand through his hair as he stared at Sophia who just laid her head near us. “Hi, Brandon.” She smiled. “Nelson, we doing this or what?” she asked as she pulled the bottom of her tube top up exposing her perfect flat stomach. My fists clenched at my sides as images of his mouth on her perfect stomach rolled through my mind.
    With a frustrated growl he turned to me and said, “Fine, but I better get an A on that fucking paper , and I want the money by Wednesday.”
    “You got it.” I nodded feeling a little of the tension in my body ease.
    “Brandon here just paid me a shit ton of money to give him my shot. You’ve got an admirer.” Nelson said to Sophia before he laughed as he headed towards the D.J. box. I wanted to kick his ass for saying that, but my attention fell to her as she stared at me with a confused expression.
    “What was that about?” she asked.
    “You didn’t say no.” I sm irked. “But it wouldn’t have mattered if you had.”
    “Hey , guys. Brandon Dalton just bought my shot because he has the hots for Sophia over there. Let’s all give him the encouragement he needs.” Nelson was holding the D.J’s microphone when he started chanting lick it, lick it, lick it and the crowd joined in.
    Oh yeah, he was definitely getting his ass kicked.
    “Well, you better get goin g, lover boy.” She grinned and held the salt shaker out for me. She didn’t need to tell me twice. I bent down and ran my tongue across her smooth stomach, savoring the taste of her skin. Once I salted her wet flesh, Alisha filled her belly button with tequila and placed a lime in her mouth. Our eyes met briefly and I winked at her just before I dipped down and licked the salt from her stomach. The crowd led by Nelson started chanting, shoot it, shoot it and as I pressed my mouth to her navel I felt her tense, and when the crowd started chanting, suck it, suck it , I moved to her face and as our eyes met, I very slowly took the lime wedge from her mouth, letting my lower lip drag across hers for a moment.
    The crowd roared with shouts and Ryan and Jake were slapping me on the back with praise. I held out a hand to Sophia to help her sit up which she took after sliding down her top to cover her stomach.
    “So have you recovered?” she asked as she pulled her hair to the side.
    “Recovered?”
    “From your head injury?”
    She was talking about the day we met at the lake. “Oh, yeah.” I nodded. “I think I’m not as…what was the word you used?” I looked up to the ceiling imitating her at the lake. “Confused, was it?”
    “Well?” She gave me a pointed look and I knew she was giving me an opening to ask her out again. “Go on then. Do it.” Her lips curved to a half smile.
    “I’d like to take you out.” I stated half expecting her to say no . Up until this point she’d found a way to either shut me up or shut me down. I had come to expect the worst and hope for the best. Either way, I wouldn’t stop asking until she said yes.
    Her gaze remained fixed with mine for a long moment before she rolled her eyes, shrugged, and said, “You can pick me up at seven tomorrow. I’ll give you my address when my shift is over.” Then she traipsed back behind the bar where Alisha whispered in her ear and smirked at me. Sophia’s gaze met mine again, before she turned and started making drinks.
    And just like that, I had gotten my date with Sophia. I had never had to work so hard for just a date. But something told me she’d be worth it. I have to admit, my balls felt two times smaller since the day I met her. She really made me work for it and a woman shutting you down or making you feel like an idiot can really hurt your pride. But I knew the best things in life don’t come easy and they don’t come cheap. Sophia was the best and she deserved the
