We’re as close as two people can be, my hand on his dick, his on mine, and the rest of our bodies pressed up against each other indecently in this trendy hotel bar.

“Tell me your name,” he demands, the order falling darkly from his lips and wrapping itself around my throat like a vise.

“Tell me yours first.”

His eyes fall to my lips again and I really wish he wouldn’t. Not while we’re still in public.

“I’m Gary.”

I scrunch my nose in response. “You lose some hotness points for that, sorry.”

“I assume I still have enough to be your first choice for tonight,” he answers cockily.

I just know he’s going to do bad things to me and I can’t wait.

“Hmm, you’re lucky it’s a slow night.”

The smile he levels at me reminds me that I’m a minnow playing footsie with a great white shark.

“Keep that attitude while you still can. It’ll be fucked out of you soon enough.” My heart seizes in my throat as liquid heat pools in my stomach. “Now give me your name.”

“Jenny,” I lie. I think if I heard this man groan my name in my ear, he’d ruin sex for me forever.

It’s already off to a rocky start, I don’t need it dead and buried before I’ve even hit my twenties.

His lips stretch into a slow grin and now I’m the one staring heatedly at his mouth. “Not exactly the most unique name either.”

I lean in so I breathe my next words against his lips, emboldened by the scorching chemistry between us.

“You’ll be moaning it regardless.”

He sucks in a rough inhale, stealing the breath from my lips when he does so. His fingers dig into my hips, the touch near bruising in its intensity.

“Careful,” he replies, and my throat works at the guttural rasp of his voice, “I haven’t actually decided that I’m going to fuck you tonight yet.”

My eyes narrow slightly at his reply, going back and forth between his as I try to figure out if he means it or if this is a game he wants to play. There’s something there in his gaze, something like hesitation, and it confuses me.

Does he… does he not like what he sees? Moments ago he’d looked like he was barely holding himself back from fucking me on the bar in front of all the people still here, and now he’s hesitating.

That’s the last thing I want or need from my hookup tonight. If he’s uncertain, then I’ll turn to another option. I’m not one to give people multiple chances, especially once my walls have come slamming down around me.

I lean away from him, removing my hand from his cock and stepping back from between his legs. My eyes sweep across the room until they land on a trio of what looks like finance guys sitting at the bar, talking loudly and obnoxiously clapping each other on the back.

Not ideal, but one of them will have to do. I won’t let this handsome, indecisive stranger ruin my carefully laid plans.

I turn back towards him with an easy smile and a ‘tough luck’ lift of my shoulders.

“You’re not my only option tonight,” I say. “I think I’ll go try my chances over there.”

Chapter 5

Tristan

Just as unexpectedly as she approached me, she steps back and forces me to watch her walk away from me and towards a group of guys sitting just around the bend of the bar.

The first one to notice her taps his friend’s shoulder repeatedly and tips his chin in her direction, urging him to look at the siren coming unexpectedly but decidedly towards them.
