“I was leaving anyway. Seems my… company for the evening had a bit too much to drink tonight.” She pointed over her shoulder and Sonny looked around.

“What the fuck?” he bit out and she shook her head.

“Nothing happened,” Avery whispered. “I need to get gone before they wake up.”

Sonny was about to reply when Avery spotted Kiera walking down the hallway towards her.

“Kiss me,” Avery demanded, but Sonny just stared at her, confused.

He was slow on the uptake tonight.

Avery slid her hands around Sonny’s neck and rose to her tip toes. Her stomach flooded with nervous anticipation, like a teenager about to explore a first kiss. She touched his mouth tentatively with hers. His lips were softer than she expected, and her pulse raced with a fierce desire to taste more.

Sonny moaned and pulled her in tight, his lips taking over, claiming her mouth with an expert touch, his tongue tangling with hers, hot and insistent. He tasted like beer and salt and Avery couldn’t get enough. One of his large hands slid down and cupped her bare ass, squeezing, rubbing. She whimpered and wrapped one leg around his waist, trying to get closer.

“Avery,” Kiera’s voice shattered her lusty fog. “Everything okay?”

Avery stepped back, feeling lightheaded and anything but okay after that kiss…

She forced herself to speak. “Yeah, I was just about to leave.” She smiled at Sonny.

“Did you finish your private dance?” Keira pointed to the room.

“Yeah, there’s three of them in there but two just wanted to watch. They drank too much. Once they got off, they fell asleep. I got two hundred.”

She handed a hundred over to Kiera for her cut.

“I’ll take care of them. You’re done for the night,” Keira said as she looked Sonny up and down. “You come here before?”

“Yeah, a few times,” Sonny replied. “You got the best girls in the province.”

“I do.” Keira smiled but it was laced with a predatory expression. “You have a good night, Avery, see you in two days.”

Avery nodded and watched as Keira headed back to the club.

“I got news. But first, let me go get my clothes from the locker. Meet you outside?”

“I’m sticking with you until we leave,” Sonny said as he waited at the doorway, arms crossed, with a grim expression that was unreadable.

Fuck this man…

“Fine,” Avery huffed.

She headed back into the room, gathered her bag, and closed the door. The DR crew were still passed out and probably wouldn’t wake up until morning. And their memory of tonight would be gone too. Good luck to the bouncers who would have to kick them out.

Sonny took her arm as they walked down the hallway and down the stairs to the basement.

“You can let go of my arm, Sonny. I can walk on my own.”

“Stop yapping and walk faster,” Sonny grumbled and all but pulled her down the stairs.

“Hey! I’ve got shorter legs than you, even with these goddamn heels, so slow down.”

“You wrapped one of those legs around my waist right quick a few minutes ago so I know you can move fast. Keep up.”

Avery elbowed Sonny in the side and his loud grunt was satisfying.

“Fucking witch,” he mumbled as they headed down the hallway and into the noisy locker room.
