Vince raised an eyebrow, but he didn’t argue with me. He only nodded and let me go.
As I searched the main part of the club, I half expected Ashton to be holed up in some corner with a woman. The guy liked to get around. I couldn’t wait for the day that a woman told him no, just to see what his reaction would be.
After about fifteen minutes of looking for him, I finally saw him coming from the hallway. He was adjusting his shirt. He looked up, his eyes landing on me. He gave me a small wave when a woman came up from behind him. She gave him a wink and disappeared into the crowd of people.
“Really? You couldn’t have waited?” I asked him.
He only smirked, popping the collar of his dress shirt. “Jealous?”
I snorted. “Ew.”
Ashton stopped suddenly, the smile falling from his face. “Ew?”
I laughed, patting his chest. “I’m sure you’re amazing but you don’t do it for me. And you’re like a brother to me.”
“Trust me, babe. I do it for everyone. Just ask your sister.” When he went to walk past me, I grabbed his arm.
“Don’t be a dick.” I released his arm, dropping my hand to my side. “I need you to cancel the stripper.”
“That’s a good one,” Ashton said while checking his phone.
“I’m not kidding,” I told him.
His head snapped up, his sapphire eyes landing on mine. “You’re serious, aren’t you?”
“Of course, I’m serious. Why wouldn’t I be?” I lifted my chin, not backing down.
“Why?”
“Why what?” I scowled. “Just cancel her. Please.”
“And why the hell would I do that? That shit cost me a lot of cake, Gigi. I’m not canceling her.” He went to walk away when I grabbed his arm again.
“How much?” I was desperate and was willing to pay anything.
“Gigi.” He shook me off and took another step away when I rushed in front of him. “What gives, woman? You know Vince gets a stripper for his twenty-first birthday. It’s tradition. We all got one and he’s the last one of us guys to turn twenty-one.”
“Yeah, I know. And hewillhave a stripper. But not the one you ordered for him.”
Ashton frowned. “I don’t know what you mean. Who’s going to strip for him then if I cancel the stripper?”
“Me.” I crossed my arms under my chest. “I’m going to strip for him.”
Ashton laughed, bending over at the waist, his laughter booming through him the longer time wore on. When he calmed down, he wiped under his eyes. “You can’t be serious.”
“What if I am?” I huffed. “You know I can dance.”
“You do ballet,” he pointed out. “That’s far from stripping, Gigi.”
“No, Ididballet. But now I actually dance everything. And all of these girls who work here? Who do you think taught them to move like they do?” I hadn’t danced ballet since my accident, but no one knew that. Not even my parents. “Please, Ashton. I don’t ask you for much. Do this for me and I’ll owe you.”
“Gigi.” He shook his head. “One, I can’t get over the fact you just told me you teach strippers how to dance and two, Vince will cut off my balls if I make this happen.”
“He won’t know anything. It’ll all be me.” He could punish me all he wanted. My body burned at the idea of him fucking me while he was angry.
“Whatever you two have…” Something flashed in Ashton’s deep blue eyes. “Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I love you both, but I can’t do that.”
“Yes, you can. I don’t want another woman dancing for him.” The mere idea of another female touching Vince made me want to throw up. “It can’t happen.”
