Breck coughed another laugh, grateful for his theatrics. It helped to distract him from his own mental woes. “You haven’t been right fora while, my guy.” He jerked his chin. “So… how’d you get ‘guarded girl’ to finally dance?”
Ned shrugged as he collected his darts. “I suggested her friend come, too.”
Breck smirked again. “My boy is shrewd.”
Ned laughed. “It worked out well. And lemme tell you, those two fuckingbrought itand gave me one hell of a show.”
“Nice.”
“Hot,” Ned corrected. “My dick was titanium.”
Breck shook his head with a grin and took his turn with the darts. “Did you ever get to go one-on-one?”
“Eventually, yeah, when another guy started dancing with her friend.”
“Yeah? And? How’d it go?”
“Awesome. By then she was way more relaxed.” A soft little growl rolled up Ned’s throat, his eyes going all gazey as he bit his lip. Then his voice dropped an octave lower. “She had me melting like butter.”
Breck’s mind detoured, envisioning what it’d be like to dance with Kai like that. God knew, he already knew what it felt like to go liquid in his hands. He fought back a frown, knowing he’d never experience that again. “Wow. You had quite the time.”
“I did…” Ned nodded absently. “God, there’s something about her… So familiar. The way she smiles. And moves. Even the way shesmells…” He shook his head, brows drawn, and scratched his cheek. “I just can’t figure it out.”
“Do you have to?” Breck retrieved his darts.
“I guess not.” He exhaled and moved back into position.
“So what happened next?”
“Um…” Ned raked a hand through his bangs. “I bought her some drinks…”
Breck eyed him. “Did you ever get totalk?”
“Not a lot.” Ned frowned, seeming to ponder that. “She’s impressively good at evading. And when we finally stopped dancing… she suddenly had to go.”
“Interesting.”
“Strange,” Ned corrected again. “Girlsalwayswant more of this. And I’m telling you, my best of all dudes, she wasdefinitelyinto me.”
“You get her number?”
Ned grunted. “What do I look like, a fuckin’ rookie? Of course I did.”
Breck’s lips twitched. “And you’re sure it’s legit?”
Ned stilled and eyed him. “Why wouldn’t it be?”
Breck shrugged. “Sounds like something an ‘impressively good evader’ might occasionally do.”
Concern flitted across Ned’s expression, but he quickly played it off and lifted his chin. “That hasneverbeen done to me before.”
Breck coughed another laugh. “Oh, well in that case...”
Ned’s smile returned with a confident nod. But then he gestured at Breck. “So, what about you? I presume you scored some fun too, while I was gone?”
Breck’s amusement faded. “Nah, man. Wasn’t feelin’ it. Just laid low.”
Ned frowned, facing him fully, and gripped his hips. “That’s right. You weren’t feelinganythingthat night. No drinking. No laughing. Your big broody ass was barely even fuckin’talking.”
