“You have no idea,” she murmurs, taking a step back and looking behind her for her seat.

“I just wanna see if it’s her.”

My head snaps to the voice and the drunk idiot it belongs to suddenly next to us, some guy and his friend pushing into our space.

Wide eyes latched on Lex’s face, he says, “Oh man, it is.”

“You’re sure?” His friend sips off his beer, his own gaze roaming every visible inch of Lex like she’s naked.

The bartender drops off my drink, giving me something to do with my hands while I wait this out, see where it goes. They’re fucking aching though.

Lex doesn’t say anything either way, just holds her ground by spinning toward both guys, her elbows propped on the bar behind her once again like she’sthatfucking unbothered.

The first guy asks, “Do you remember me?”

Tilting her head to the side, she gives him a quick once-over. “Should I?”

“You took my virginity.”

“Doesn’t sound like me. Virgins are notoriously bad in bed.” She leans forward just a bit and lowers her voice to say, “Clingy, too.”

His friend chuckles, making him scowl.

“I remember you…Lexi.”

Okay. He had to have been one of her customers at The Playground. That makes a lot more sense than her wanting to outright fuck him.

Eyes still wandering, the friend butts in, asking, “What will a c-note get me?”

Lex pushes herself off the bar and shrugs. “A handful of drinks. I recommend their snakebites. They’re delicious.” She looks at me for the first time since these assholes arrived. “At least that’s how my friend made it look.”

Suppressing a smirk, I arch an eyebrow at her. Friend? And I did what…make a cocktail look delicious? All I did was drink it.

If I didn’t know any better, I’d think she just gave me a compliment. Maybe even two.

Is she flirting with me?

“I meant with you. We can go in the bath—”

I’m on my feet, standing to my full height, chest fucking swollen around a heart that’s already racing as I put myself in front of Lex. “She said you got the wrong person. Get the fuck out of here.”

I shove on both of them, but the first guy ducks around me, saying, “I’ll prove it.” Shooting out his hand, he yanks down the zipper on Lex’s dress, too quick for me to stop. My eyes follow the movement behind me a second too late, already finding Lex’s tits showing.

Instantly, I grab the tops of her dress with one hand, leaving the middle unzipped and gaping wide open. Her nipples are covered but the small inner swells of her cleavage aren’t.

“See? The Polish tattoo on your chest. I knew it’d be there.”

I lower my gaze to the black cursive word tattooed at the base of her sternum.Rozbita.

Lex keeps her head down as she tries to get the slider up the teeth of the zipper, but with the two pieces of the dress so far apart, it doesn’t move.

“Let go,” she tells me.

Her eyes still downcast, she doesn’t see me shake my head.

“Keep trying.” If I let go, her tits will be out all over again, and this time, people are paying attention.

“I looked it up, you know.” The fucker keeps talking. “It means broken, as in a broken. Dirty. Slu—”
