“Two doubles of vodka, two doubles of whiskey. Under Whitmore.”

The bartender pours our drinks, setting four glasses on the counter. Wes hands me one of the vodka ones and picks up one of his whiskeys. We throw them back almost at the same time.He hands me the other vodka and picks up his last one. We throw them back again.

He sets our empty glasses on the counter. “One more of each.” He says to the bartender. “And I’d like to close out.”

The bartender pours them and runs Wes’s card. He hands it back to him with a slip for him to sign. He signs it and slides the card back into his wallet. He picks up our drinks and wraps one hand carefully around my waist. He steers me towards a corner of the club. There are no available seats, but it’s much quieter where we stand.

“I figured we’d sip on these for a little, then get a car back to the hotel.” I nod, and he hands me my drink. I take a sip. “You are so fucking sexy, you know that right?”

“Are you drunk?” I laugh.

“No.” He smiles. “I just find you absolutely tantalizing.”

I smile and take another sip of my drink. “Stay the night with me.”

“Maybe. I don’t know if I have it in me to stay the night and behave.”

“Maybe I don’t want you to behave.” I mumble, taking another sip of my drink.

“Are you drunk?” He asks with a smirk.

“Maybe.” Honestly, I don’t think I am, but I am definitely intoxicated.

“Finish that, and let’s get out of here.” I nod and throw back the rest of my drink.

“I didn’t mean you had to finish it quickly.” He laughs. “I still have to call the car.”

“Oops.” I shrug.

“The car should be here in another ten minutes.”

“I want another drink.” I admit, eyeing the bar. It is actually not busy for once.

“Okay.” He smiles at me and puts his arm around my waist again, steering me towards the bar. We don’t have to wait long to be helped this time. “Double of vodka.” He tells the bartender when we get up there. He pays in cash this time and hands me my drink.

He finishes the rest of his drink as I throw back mine. He puts the empty glasses on the counter and steers me towards the exit.

The cool air feels nice. He lights a cigarette, and I spin around, enjoying the breeze in my hair.

“You are drunk.” He laughs.

“Mhm.” I nod. “I want you.” I whisper, walking up to him.

“Oh darling, I want you too, so bad. But we are not having drunk sex.” He grins, cupping my face with his free hand. He gives me a small kiss on the lips. Tiny and quick. It’s over before I can even want more. “Sorry.”

“Fine.” I pout. “But you’ll stay the night?”

“And sleep on the couch.”

“No.” I shake my head.

“Yes.” He nods. “The car is here.” He moves back, motioning to a black car that just pulled up to the curb.

When we get back to the hotel, I head straight to the mini bar as he shrugs off his blazer, throwing it over a chair.

“More?” He asks, and I nod, twisting off the cap to a mini bottle of vodka while holding another.

I stick out my tongue playfully, “If I’m not getting any, I might as well get wasted.”
