“Yes.” She nodded.

“You’ll get used to it. I personally like that people can be sexually free up here. It’s normal, right?”

“I guess. Yes,” Leilani said.

It was clear just how different her life was from Jacob’s. And her plans to take photos and boast to her friends had come to a complete halt the moment they walked in the door.

Not Instagram friendly, that’s for sure.

She decided to roll with it. It wasn’t like her, and Jacob could continue their flirting while Carter was there. So she ended up resting against his body while chatting with Carter.

The drinks flowed, as did the conversation, and then a few more of Jacob’s friends joined them.

She met Melanie, who definitely was interested in Jacob, and Lucy, who she wasn’t sure was more into Melanie, Carter, or Jacob. She seemed to have eyes for everyone.

Including her.

“Do you want to join us?” Leilani asked when Jacob and Carter didn’t extend the invite. It seemed impolite not to.

Melanie and Lucy both glanced at Jacob as if waiting for permission. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw him shake his head.

When she glanced at him in question, he winked.

“We’re going upstairs to The Observatory.” Melanie pointed to another members only sign.

Then they left.

“So, you work for Blake?” Carter asked after she told him what she did. He fell back on the sofa cushions, then turned and glanced across her body at Jacob. “He’s going to kick your ass, buddy.”

“He can try. He hasn’t been able to beat me since I was fourteen.” Jacob chuckled.

Leilani giggled, the alcohol well and truly doing its job now.

She liked Carter.

Aside from being totally hot, he told her he was a trust lawyer and worked for a few of the wealthiest families in the state.

“Of which your family is one of them. His father is a real estate tycoon.” Jacob replied as his fingers played with the strap of her top.

It fell down her arm as Carter muttered, don’t call him that.

She clutched at it as the silk threatened to expose her breast. The air thickened as Carter slid his finger along her arm and nudged the strap back up.

Leilani lifted her eyes to his and saw the same desire Jacob had inside him.

“Princess,” Jacob rasped, taking her chin and turning her to face him.

Then he swept his tongue over her bottom lip.

Oh God, what is happening right now?

Her core burst into flames and all she wanted was these two men to touch her. More. Everywhere. As she shuddered with arousal.

Beside her, Carter brushed her shoulder once more, as if to secure her strap.

Unnecessarily.

And it felt...erotic.
