“Shit, you shouldn’t have been so blunt, Donny boy. You’re going to scare her away from us thinking we’re manwhores,” Dimitri mumbles. He’s right, but I didn’t know what else to say.

“No, thank you for being honest. I’d rather have that over anything. And this party is about sex, so it’s logical you’d want it or why else would you be here?”

“Thank fuck!” explodes from Dimitri’s mouth, causing more than one person to turn and stare at us.

But before we can say anything else, the music turns off and a spotlight shines down on the stage. An older man with salt and pepper hair that matches his well-trimmed beard steps up. He’s distinguished looking for an older guy, what women would call a silver fox.

He taps on his microphone and clears his throat.

“Hello, everyone. Can I have your attention, please?”

A hush falls over the crowd, and everyone looks over to the stage, waiting for what he has to say next.

“Welcome, everyone, to the first Wicked Temptation Key Party,” he begins and several people in the crowd erupt in a round of applause.

My leg brushes up against Alex’s and her body shudders as her breath hitches. Fuck, I wonder what she’d sound like coming undone under Dimitri’s and my touch. The man lifts his hands, motioning for everyone to calm down.

“We are glad you all have decided to join us tonight for what we hope will turn into an annual event. I’m Damien and I’ll be your emcee for the night. A few housekeeping issues to get out of the way before we get to the real reason you’re all here. Everyone here was medically checked for any transmittable diseases and pregnancy. While we’ve been given the all-clear, I still want to mention there are condoms in the bag you will be given once your key number is called. Using them or not is up to you.

“Next, you all signed a waiver and an NDA to attend tonight; so as the old saying goes, what happens here stays here. Lastly, in the same bag with the contraceptives, there will be some fun little toys you’re welcome to keep and a list of your partner’s hard and soft limits.” Fuck, they really thought of everything.

“These limits are to be respected at all costs. Security is posted around the inside of the club, so if there are any issues, please reach out and it will be handled immediately.”

There’s a weight lifted off my chest though, knowing if those arseholes from earlier happen to pull Alex’s key that she’ll be safe. All she has to do is scream and someone will be there to save her.

“Tonight is supposed to be fun, not some shit you’d see in a bad porno. So without further ado, let’s see who’s playing with whom tonight, shall we? Men who are picking keys please line up and when I call your name, step onto the stage, you’ll draw a keycard and I will announce the name and number of who you drew. The rest is all up to you guys. Have fun and be safe!”

Well, I guess this is it. Dimitri stands and I follow suit.

“Could we get your number? Maybe we can all meet up and get some drinks or food?” I ask.

“Umm, yeah. I’d like that.”

I pull out my phone and open my contacts, handing it to her. She quickly types in it and hands it back to me.

“Is it okay if I get it from him, Alex?” I love how Dimitri doesn’t plan to be left out.

“Yep, that would be great.” Her voice is so soft, I barely hear her.

“Alright, I guess we need tae head over and get in line.” I stand up and give her one last smile as we head over to where we were directed to go.

As we fall in line, I glance back over to Alex. She’s still sitting in the same spot. Her hands clasped together in her lap.

“Why don’t we just take her and go? We can spend more time getting to know her, rather than fucking some random stranger. We’ve only met a few people, but no one who has my attention like her. No one I want to be with. She’s it,” Dimitri tells me as he looks between the stage and her.

I have to admit I’m contemplating the same thing.

“Nah, she’s here for a reason. We cannae get in the way of that. But come tomorrow, we’re chasing her like a wean running after the ice cream van.” We stare at each other before we both burst out in laughter, just as the first man steps forward onto the stage.

Three people have pulled their woman for the night already. Alex still hasn’t been picked and I can see her out of the corner of my eye, squirming on the couch.

She’s nervous.

The next person called up is none other than the mafia man we noticed earlier. I see the bird they were talking to still hasn’t been pulled either. Of all the people here, she’s the one I don’t want. It could end up in an all out war between two mafia families.

Luck must be on their side because they pull her card. She smiles widely as they walk toward her.

Yet another name is called, and I’m starting to get antsy. But they pull the card for another woman, not Alexis.
