Ez cupped his hands around his mouth. “Make it rain!”
My husband spun around the pole, then thrust his hips forward. Ah, fuck. I thought I might come right here. It didnotseem appropriate for the others to be watching, but I couldn’t say I wasn’t getting a thrill over him being an exhibitionist.
Ivy noticed I was drooling over Charlie and shot a disgusted look at the stage. Look, if Ivy didn’t find my man sexy, then that was on them. I’d been waiting for the day I got Charlie on a pole without complaining, and I wasn’t going to let anyone ruin it. I laughed as I watched Charlie clap his hands, yank at his tie, and swagger across the stage, snapping his fingers to the music. He gave a slide and then a turn, pointing his fingers to the crowd.
Danny came up beside me and crossed his arms. “Charlie’s going through great lengths to prove he runs this party, huh?”
Giggles bubbled past my lips as I watched Charlie shake it. He was being so silly. I’d never seen my husband act like such a spectacle. Usually he clung to the wall and tried to stay out of sight, and now, he was trying to be the center of attention. I found it adorable he was finally coming out of his shell. “It’s harmless. He’s just having fun!”
Danny shrugged. “Guess I never thought Charlie was the type to make an ass out of himself.”
“Oh, screw you,” I snapped. “We’re here to have a good time. If you aren’t, go get wasted somewhere else.”
“Psh. Cool.” Danny walked away, and I scowled. We were here to celebrate getting the vampire key. This wasn’t some dick-measuring contest between Danny and Charlie.
And if it was, I was going to get some dick myself.
“I want a lap dance!” I called over the pumping base.
Charlie jumped down from the stage, then leaned over me as he whispered in my ear. “You looking for a private room, lady?”
My voice came out breathlessly. “Right here’s just fine.”
Charlie sat in my lap and moved his hips over me. I whimpered involuntarily. Fuck, I wanted him so badly right now. I didn’t carewhyhe thought he needed to give the room a strip tease. If he wanted to show everyone who was boss, fine. We could take this to the bedroom, and he could take charge there. I would love every moment of it. He was the king of this castle, and I was his bitch.
“You’re certainly taking control,” I whispered, and I bit his ear.
“Well, this ismyparty. I own this city,” Charlie growled. “I just want to make sure everyone here knows it.”
Alistair and Oberi hopped up on the platform and danced to the music. Pig and Rishi circled the stage, batting the cash off the edge. Tahoma went over to the floor-to-ceiling mirror on thewall and started dancing in front of it while making funny faces at his reflection.
I heard a slurping noise and looked over to see Kallie and Marcus were all over each other. They seemed to forget anyone else was in the room as their tongues slid inside each other’s mouths. Kallie grabbed Marcus’ curls and yanked on them. He moaned, then dragged Kallie onto his lap.
I was glad they were having fun, but jeez, guys, points for enthusiasm.
“Get a room!” Danny joked.
“If you need some condoms, I have some extra in my stash,” Alistair teased.
Kallie pulled her mouth away from Marcus’ and turned up her nose. “We don’tusecondoms.”
“You guys aren’t using protection?” I asked, floundering in my chair.
Marcus shrugged. “We didn’t this morning, or last night. Pull-out’s good enough for us.”
Charlie frowned, and he got off my lap to tower over them. “That’s not very effective. You guys can’t be getting pregnant right now. There’s a lot at stake. You should take the birth control I take, Marcus. It’s one dose every three months. It’s worked just fine for me and Ava.”
“Sure, okay. I’ll look into it tomorrow,” Marcus said nonchalantly, like he wasn’t taking him seriously.
Alistair tossed Marcus a condom, and it whacked him in the face. “Then you’re going to need these tonight!”
Our friends roared in laughter.
All this talk of sex was making me hot and bothered. Charlie turned around so I could run my hands over his abs. A thrill traveled through my abdomen as my gaze lingered on his belt buckle. Gods damn, if we didn’t get alone soon, I was going toend up blowing him in front of everybody, and I wouldn’t care who watched, either.
“Charlie, I’m tired,” I said quickly.
He leaned down, so he could hear me over the music. “What was that, pidge?”
