She nodded.
“It meanscheckmatein Italian.” Ian picked a pack of cigarettes off his desk, sliding one from the package, and lit it.
“Hmm.” Amber’s mouth twitched back and forth. “I’ve only ever heard Alejandro speak Spanish, but I know he’s half Italian.”
Ian dipped his head once, barely acknowledging her statement. “Amber, you need to get downstairs before people start to wonder. I need everything to run normally for now.”
“I’ll walk her down,” I ambled to her side.
Ian bowed his head, turning to Luke as he smoked. I opened the office door, stepping into the lobby. Jade approached in a hurry, giving Amber a hug.
“How are you doing?”
“I’m good,” Amber whispered. “Things have to stay normal right now.”
Jade pulled away, peering into her eyes. “Well, I’m about to anger the boss more.”
“What happened?” Amber gasped.
“Roxy apparently talked to one of the girls on the phone about getting hurt.”
“Fuck,” I groaned.
“Four of our girls quit this evening.”
“What the hell?!” Amber gasped.
Jade was infuriated. She hurried by, stomping toward Ian’s office. Before opening the door, she twisted back around. “Amber, if Mr. Knight wants it normal, keep itverynormal.”
Amber’s face dropped as Jade disappeared into the office, closing the door behind her. “This is all going to shit. Ian doesn’t need this drama. None of us do.”
I took her hand in mine, lacing our fingers together. “Come on.” I led her to the elevator, determined to make tonight asnormalas possible.

The entire night, we were all on edge, waiting for anyone to step out of line. To my pleasant surprise, everything seemed ordinary. As I sat at the end of the owner’s booth sipping on a drink with the guys, I watched Amber like a hawk. With guards blending in, posted all over the interior and exits, I hoped for the best. Ian and Luke seemed to have it all under control.
With her head held high, and that same smile on her face she had when I met her, she sashayed around, delivering drinks, and grinding on a few laps. It turned me on to know they wanted her and couldn’t have her. The way the black rhinestone mesh top and matching thong hugged her perfect figure made me insane. If I had to pay to get a minute alone with her, I was going to.
“Baby.” I grabbed her wrist as she swanned by on her way back to the bar.
Placing her tray on the table, she smiled, peering down at me. “Hey, sexy.”
Tugging her down, I forced her to bend over, kissing her. Ian reached forward tapping his fingers on the table. Amber and I reluctantly peeled away from one another.
“Room Two in five.” I rolled my tongue over my bottom lip.
“Let me get these guys their drinks first.”
Withdrawing my hand, I turned my attention to Ian as she sped away. Both he and Tyler were staring at me. Tyler wore a smirk while Ian’s eyes turned to daggers. Tyler bobbed his head, darting his eyes back and forth between the staring contest Ian and I were having. He laughed before shifting his interest to a dancer that had taken her place on the private pole in front of the table.
“I said I wanted things normal,” Ian scolded.
Amber sped by with a drink in each hand for the neighboring table.
“Getting a private lap dance from my stripper girlfriend is very normal.” Standing, I snatched Amber by the hand as she got ready to breeze back by again. Draping my arm over her shoulder, I glanced back at him.
“You better be paying her!”
