“But he does that all the time,” she says, cutting me off.
“I know, but it’s been a little more intense today, and then I have this new neighbor who’s been trying to ask me out, and he showed up at the shop today wanting to take me for lunch, and Crew got his panties in a twist about it. Not to mention, since leaving work tonight, I’ve already gotten three texts from him wanting to know exactly where I am. It’s . . . I don’t know,” I say, deep in thought. “It’s like I spread my legs for the guy and he thinks he owns me. I swear, just the idea of me looking at another man got him all pissy and worked up.”
“Shit,” she says with a heavy sigh. “And to think I was rooting for him for so long.”
“I don’t know. I could be overthinking it, and maybe this is just some type of jealous thing. I mean, Viper doesn't make it a secret that he wants me, and he practically rubs it in Crew’s face because he knows it sets him off, and as for my new neighbor guy . . . it doesn’t help that when we got back to my apartment last night, his number was taped to my door, and I didn’t immediately go to throw it out.”
“Wait . . . what?” Nat says. “You never date neighbors.”
“I know, but this one is . . . different,” I say just as a stupid grin stretches across my face. “He’s hot as all hell and is the biggest flirt I’ve ever met, but he also gives off alpha, big-dick energy. Usually, I wouldn’t be so turned on by someone like that, but today when he stopped by the shop and I went out with him, he pinned me up against the wall in a dark alley and was so dominant that I would have done anything he wanted. I could barely breathe, and then he just left me there gasping.”
Her brows furrow. “What do you mean he just left you there?”
“I’m telling it wrong, but I promise it was hot as fuck,” I explain, sipping on my drink until there’s nothing but ice left in the bottom. “I was panting, and I swear, had he hung around for another second, I would have been on my knees begging to suck his dick. But then before he left, he said he wanted to take me out for real, and until I knew what I wanted, he wasn’t going to touch me. But then promised that by tonight, I’ll be fucking myself while thinking about him, and when I am, he’ll be coming right along with me.”
“What in the ever-loving fuck, Ky? Why the hell am I only just hearing about this guy now?” she demands. “Do you have a picture?”
“No,” I laugh before launching to my feet and holding up a hand, trying to explain just how tall and broad he is. I tell her about his dark, intense eyes and how every time he looks at me, I become captivated by his stare. By the time I’ve finished explaining just how sharp his stubbled jaw is, she’s demanding that I go home and fuck him for real.
We order another round, and by the time those are finished and we’re well and truly drunk, Nat has convinced me that going out with Alex is somehow in my best interest. Her new friend, Sullivan, wanders over, and when he shoves his tongue down her throat and she melts into his arms, I decide that perhaps it’s time for me to make my way home.
Making sure that Nat is alright and certain she’s going to go home with this guy, I grab my things and head to the exit, swiping away the new notifications from Crew, demanding to know where the hell I am, and trying to search through my apps to book an Uber.
Nat has always been sure about what she wants, which is the only reason why I feel so comfortable leaving her here. If she were anyone else, I would have dragged her out by the hair. But not Nat. She’s a free spirit and likes to fuck, whether she’s drunk or sober, or if there’s one partner or four. She’s a live-for-the-moment kind of girl, and I love that about her, but I’m not going to lie, sometimes, she worries me. Tonight is not one of those nights though. She knows what she wants and she’s not going to stop until she’s completely satisfied.
Stepping out into the street, I keep my gaze down at my phone. The street is busy with a lot of people from the bar spilling out and others trying to find their way home. Hell, it’s just as noisy out here as it was inside.
I try to shuffle back away from the crowd, leaving them space to keep partying while I try and figure out a ride when a man steps into me. “The fuck are you doing out here by yourself?” a familiar tone rumbles over me.
My gaze snaps up to Viper, and I can’t keep the stupid grin off my face. “You don’t think I can handle myself?”
His gaze narrows on mine, studying my eyes as though trying to commit them to memory. “How much have you had to drink?”
“Enough to know that standing in front of you isn’t supposed to be good for my health.”
“Shit,” he says, pressing his lips into a hard line. “How are you getting home?”
Flipping my phone around, I show him my screen, midway through trying to book an Uber. “Working on it,” I tell him, just as another angry text from Crew appears on my phone. I grit my teeth, and before I can pull my hand away, Viper takes the phone and opens the string of notifications.
Crew - Fuck your girls’ night. Come to my place.
Crew - The fuck, Ky? You ignoring me?
Crew - Where the fuck are you?
Crew - Missed call.
Crew - Missed call.
Crew - Answer my fucking calls. Where are you?
Crew - We fucking talked about this last night. Call me.
Crew - Are you fucking kidding me? Is this all because of the bullshit that happened at the shop today? You’re all pissy because I don’t want you fucking every guy with a pulse? No girl of mine is going to whore herself out, Ky. You’re mine. That sweet little cunt belongs to me.
Crew - Missed call.
Crew - It’s past two in the fucking morning. Why the fuck aren’t you home yet?
