“Think about it and let me know if you’d like to meet Monday to discuss things more.”
Spinning on his heel, Angel sprinted away.
“I think you leaned a little too hard into mysterious and scared him away,” Vlado said dryly.
“Maybe. Hopefully he’s curious enough to text.”
“Hopefully.” Vlado’s tone told me he didn’t for one second think I’d ever hear from Angel again.

“Come on, come on, comeon,”I muttered, checking the time on my phone for the umpteenth time.
“I’m going as fast as I can,” my Uber driver said from the front seat, his tone cold.
“Sorry, that wasn’t directed at you,” I said quickly. “I’m late.”
He seemed to accept that and we fell back into silence.
Today had not been a good day. I’d spent most of last night obsessively reading everything I could about the handsome stranger who’d given me that damn card.
Evan Williams was the perfect man according to every source I found. He was thirty, single, and gay. And he was also rich as sin. He came from old money and owned a bunch of super successful companies.
His sister, the bride-to-be at the event last night, was a retired model. Their father owned some huge corporation, and their mother seemed to be a professional philanthropist and socialite.
Evan’s net worth was well into the millions, and his family’s net worth was in the hundreds of millions.
Hundreds. Of. Millions.
How in fuck would a guy like that have a job offer for someone like me? Unless he wanted pole-dance lessons, I couldn’t imagine a single thing I could do for him that wasn’t sex related.
That question had kept me up most of the night. I’d barely slept, and I’d spent the day flitting about the apartment trying to keep my brain busy until work.
Since I’d been so distracted and tired all day, I’d forgotten to get a ride to work, even though I’d assured Aiden I was covered while he spent the night with his girlfriend.
Now I was late, again.
The car pulled up in front of the club. I thanked my driver and jumped out, nearly barreling into a dark figure on the walkway to the front entrance.
“Whoa,” said the figure.
“Eeek!” I jumped away from him.
Shit. Was it one of the guys who’d beaten up Gray? Had they come back looking for more of us to hurt?
Strong hands grasped my shoulders, stopping my momentum as I stumbled over my feet and pitched backward.
Panic clawed at my chest. My vision went snowy.
“Nick! It’s okay. It’s me.”
I blinked at the familiar voice and finally took a good look at the man. “Stone?”
“Are you okay?” He steadied me, concern written all over his handsome face.
“Yeah. I thought you were… Never mind.” I shook my head rapidly.
